An active windshield antenna has a first conductor extending parallel to a metal frame to the vertical line of symmetry of the latter, a second conductor extending in a bending point from said first conductor along the symmetry line, an amplifier has separate transmission paths for a low frequent low medium short wave region and ultra short wave region, the transmission path of the long medium short wave region at an inlet of the low medium short wave amplifier has a high input impedance, and the input impedance of the total amplifier in the low medium short frequency region is high.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to active windshield antenna for power vehicles for ultra short and long medium short radio frequency. More particularly it relates to a windshield antenna which has a metallic frame of a windshield of a power vehicle, an antenna wire, and an antenna amplifier. Windshield antennas of the above-mentioned general type are known in the art. A known windshield antenna has a metallic frame of a windshield of a power vehicle, an antenna wire, an antenna amplifier with two input terminals and an output conduit, wherein the antenna amplifier is arranged in the vicinity of the metallic frame and the antenna wire is arranged on or in the windshield. The first input terminal of the antenna amplifier is connected with a maximum short connecting conductor with one end of the antenna wire, whereas the second input terminal of the antenna amplifier is connected with the conductive frame which surrounds the windshield and the output conduit of the amplifier leads to a receiver. With active windshield antennas it is known to receive all the wave regions (long, medium, short and ultra short waves), as with the standard antennas in power vehicles. It is advantageous here that by the integration of the antenna into the vehicle body such antennas satisfy much better than the standard rod antennas the specific requirements applied to the vehicle, such as mechanical rigidity, high service life, simple mounting, elimination of unnecessary air whirling. Active windshield antennas with the above described properties are disclosed, for example, in the German GM application G 7,808,489.6. It has been shown that a power vehicle antenna which is proposed here provides for extremely unsatisfactory receiving power in the event of vertically or circularly polarized waves of the polarization types frequently used for example in the United States for the ultra short radio broadcasting, whereas the receiving power in the ultra short region with horizontal polarization and in the long medium short region of the standard antenna is at least equivalent. Also, for an unobjectionable functioning of the antenna the predetermined position of the antenna amplifier is disadvantageous. A modification disclosed in the GM in the change of the terminal location leads especially in the ultra short wave region to worsening of the reception properties. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an active windshield antenna which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an active windshield antenna whose receiving power possesses good reception properties both in the event of horizontally as well as vertically and circularly polarized ultra short wave receiving fields and in the vertically polarized long medium short region, and which also makes possible free selection of the mounting point for the amplifier in the vicinity of the metal frame in the sense of vehicle-specific points of view. In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention resides, briefly stated, in an antenna in which an antenna wire is used with a first conductor extending parallel to a frame to a vertical line of symmetry, and a second conductor extending from a bending point on the line of symmetry along the latter, an amplifier has separate transmission paths for low frequency long medium short region and ultra short wave region (FM-range), and a transmission path of the long medium short wave region (AM-range) at an input of a low medium short wave amplifier path has high input impedance whereas the input impedance of the amplifier in the long medium short frequency region is high. The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a view showing an active windshield antenna for all polarization types in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a view showing the inventive antenna with an amplifier mounted in a right lower corner; FIG. 3 is a view showing the inventive antenna with an amplifier mounted in an upper right region; and FIG. 4 is a view showing the inventive antenna with an amplifier mounted in a right lower corner and with a minimal wire length. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A windshield antenna in accordance with the present invention possesses a special advantage both in the event of horizontal as well as vertical and circular polarization to provide advantageous reception condition in the ultra short wave region. In contrast to the known antennas disclosed for example in the GM G 7,808,498.6 and the GM G 7,527,621.0 which during transition from the horizontal polarization to the vertical polarization is inferior to a vertical reference antenna, the antenna according to the present invention provides good results for all polarization types. In many cases especially with antennas integrated in the vehicle body such as with the windshield antennas, the mounting location for the antenna terminals and the amplifier is subject to the vehicle-specific restraints. These restraints frequently are produced by the mounting sequence during the manufacture of the power vehicle and also by the requirements of the exchangeability and subsequent mountability of the antenna amplifier. With an antenna amplifier and a conductor configuration in accordance with the present invention, the attainable receiving properties are nearly independent of the predetermined mounting location. Also an adjustment of the wire length in the sense of its correspondence to the actual vehicle body or windshield opening is of no problem with the given conductor configuration. FIG. 1 shows a front window of a vehicle as seen from a passenger compartment. An antenna amplifier 5 is arranged in the vicinity of a metal frame and connected with its mass point with the metal frame of the windshield by a connection 8. The antenna amplifier has at its input a branch of a transmission path for signal portions from the ultra short wave frequency region and the long medium short wave frequency region. Such a signal branching is known from the patent applications P 2,115,657, P 2,166,898, or P 1,919,749. The transmission path for the long medium short frequency region includes an amplifier with high input impedance such as disclosed for example in the patent applications P 2,021,331, P 2,554,828 or P 2,554,829. It is essential for sensitivity reasons that the circuit for the branching of the signal does not load with low impedance the input impedance of the long medium short wave amplifier in the low medium short wave frequency region, so that the input impedance of the whole amplifier 5 in the low medium short wave frequency region is high. The cooperation of the conductor configuration provided by conductors 4a and 4b with a low medium short wave amplifier 10 is illustrated hereinbelow. The conductor 4b provides an essential part for the reception. For the purpose of the good reception in the long medium and short wave region, the conductor 4b must not be selected too short and must use a maximum possible part of the available windshield height. Though the reception field strengh in the lower part of the conductor 4b is directed opposite to the field strength in the upper part, from the point of view of the low medium short wave reception the whole conductor length is preferable due to the therewith increased capacity.
For the long medium short reception it is sufficient in many cases to arrange the amplifier on the metal frame 2 at its line of symmetry 9. Such a mounting point is, however, frequently not possible on the vehicle-specific reasons. For overspan the distance between a bending point 12 on the line of symmetry 9 and the predetermined mounting location of the amplifier according to the state of the art one could think to use, a conventional coaxial conductor. Such a conductor possesses, however, the disadvantage of a high parallel capacity which leads to a loss in sensitivity. The arrangement of the conductor 4a in accordance with the present invention possesses a decisive advantage of a relatively small capacity in connection with an additional contribution to the reception. This contribution is based on a high concentration of the electric field lines in the vicinity of the metal frame which in the event of small distances of the conductors 4a from the metal frame 2 acts for a significant improvement of the reception. It is quite possible to keep a distance A of this conductor from the metal frame so small that it does not affect the visibility of a driver or a side driver and the design of the windshield. The distances substantially below 10 mm between the conductor 4a and the metal frame are in general to be avoided. The operation of an active windshield antenna in accordance with the present invention for the reception in the ultra short wave region in accordance with FIG. 1 is explained hereinbelow. It is known that a windshield opening 1 surrounded by the conductor frame 2 can approximately be looked at as a slot radiator which can be excited in an optimal manner by a wave with an electrical field strength vector oriented in direction of the line of symmetry 9. In the ultra short wave band a resonance-like magnification of the field strength takes place along the line 9 when the width of the windshield opening substantially corresponds to half wave length as is the case in modern conventional power vehicles. In the event of both horizontally as well as vertically and circularly polarized waves field components in direction of the line of symmetry 9 are available because of the inclined window glass in the vehicle, which leads to the window frame resonance. A wire structure such as a conductor 4b is strongly coupled with the reception field. The connection of the conductor 4a, to the contrary, can be changed by means of the distance A. Small distances between the conductor 4a and the frame 2 lead to a low signal pick up from the field and great distances A lead to a high signal pick up from the field. By means of the distance A also the ratio of the contribution to the reception of the conductors 4a and 4b in the ultra short wave region can be changed. Though a maximization of the ultra short wave signal power available at the end of the conductor 4a is associated in many cases with the selection of the maximum for safety reasons possible distance A of approximately 7 cm to the frame 2, in practice the distance A can be selected substantially smaller since thereby an attractive antenna design is obtained and the visibility through the windshield is less affected. Distances down to approximately 10 mm from the frame 2 can be tolerated, since the signal pick up from the field as a whole through the conductor 4b is high enough and in connection with a noise-optimized active ultra short wave signal path 13 in the amplifier 5, the produced signal-to-noise ratio is superior compared to the standard system with the standard antenna. By variation of a distance 11 between the end of the conductor 4b and the frame 2, the available output power of the structure can be optimized. Frequently, the maximum possible length is found to be the optimal length for all polarizations. For preventing a high frequency short-circuiting at the end of the conductor 4b with the frame 2, the distance 11 must not be less than 2 mm. For the mounting point of the amplifier selected from the vehicle-specific considerations, the optimal distance 11 between the end of the conductor 4b and the frame must be defined so that for different distances 11 by long measuring travels with statistic travel paths, the average antenna output voltage of the structure under test obtained at the input resistance of the measuring receiver is evaluated in comparison with the average output voltage of the reference antenna. From this voltage of a not power-matched load resistance, after measurement of the impedance of the wire structure, the available average output power is computed. This is the power which could be obtained in the event of a power-matched load. The optimal distance 11 is found when the available signal power is maximum, wherein the value of the impedance of the wire structure is approximately insignificant, since inside the transmission path for the ultra short wave frequency region 13 in the antenna amplifier 5 loss free transformation circuits can be used. Such transformation circuits are advantageously constructed so that noise matching for the input transistor is obtained when an active element is used in the transmission path 13 such as fieldeffecttransistor or a bipolar transistor, or the power matching is provided at the wave impedance of the connecting cable 6 to the receiver 7 when the transmission path 13 is designed as passive. The transmission path 13 for the ultra short wave frequency region may be passive. However this is only advantageous if the obtainable signal noise ratio in combination with the receiver with the windshield antenna structure is at least equal to the standard rod antenna. As a rule, it is required to guarantee via a noise-matched amplifier stage a satisfactory field strength sensitivity. FIG. 2 shows an advantageous embodiment of the invention in which the antenna amplifier 5 and the antenna terminal are located in the vicinity of the right lower corner of the metal frame, the bending point 12 is located in the vicinity of the upper horizontal part of the metal frame, and the conductor 4a extends parallel to the right and to the horizontal upper part of the metal frame. In this example, the amplifier is mounted in the region of the instrument board which is a region with a frequently sufficient space and is readily accessible for mounting of an antenna or a change of the antenna amplifier. This mounting location is also advantageous since only a relatively short connecting cable for the receiver is needed. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention with the same mounting point for the amplifier as in FIG. 2. However, here there is a minimized wire length on the windshield and a simple geometry for the conductors, as compared with the structure of FIG. 2, with only one bending point. This provides for cost advantages in the manufacture of the antenna. However, there is a danger of an interference pickup from the motor space onto the antenna structure in the embodiment of FIG. 4, because of the proximity of the conductor 4a to the interference sources, such as the ignition. Therefore this structure can be used advantageously only for vehicles with satisfactory interference suppression. FIG. 3 shows also an advantageous arrangement of the amplifier in the right upper corner of the metal frame, which is a region in which frequency in the right cross bar or under the vehicle skylight a sufficient space for the antenna amplifier is available. The connecting cable can frequently be simply guided downwardly under the synthetic plastic hood which coats the metallic cross bar. The wire structure has the same advantages as the structure of FIG. 4, namely the advantage in the simplicity and cost favorable manufacture. However, as compared with the structure of FIG. 4, it is less susceptible to the reception of motor interference. It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above. While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in an active windshield pane antenna for all polarization types, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.

Life can sometimes be less surprising than a box of chocolates when youre searching for that perfect Valentines Day gift.
Theres the perennial bouquet of flowers, or you could even go cheesy with a heart-shaped pizza.
But imagine opening your door to a Barbershop Quartet?
Halifax's Just For Fun Barbershop Quartet have been singing together for 7 years. Theyre all retired and as their name suggests, they do it just for fun.
They do personal performances in Halifax on Valentine's Day to raise money for their larger choruses and for charities.
Theyve enjoyed seeing the look on peoples faces over the years.
It can vary from a young lady being so moved that she might tear right up and get us all teared up sometimes, or one of the funniest times I think that I can remember was when we performed to an officer in the forces and he was in his little cubicle and we started singing Let me call you sweetheart to this gentleman," laughs Nick Mattison with the Just 4 Fun Barbershop Quartet. "Of course all the other people poured out of their cubicles to come and watch, but he couldnt help himself from turning into a beet root, while we sang this to him even though we explained it was from his wife.
When its not Valentine's Day, the quartet performs at many different locations, including retirement homes and in hospitals.

Is This China-Focused Smartphone Chip Maker Still a Bargain?
Sarfaraz is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Prior to releasing its first-quarter's results, the Asia-focused baseband communication chips manufacturer Spreadtrum Communications (NASDAQ: SPRD) significantly increased its guidance for the second quarter. The company cited strong growth in low-cost smartphones in the emerging markets, particularly China. As a result, its shares rose by 21% in after-hours trading.
Spreadtrum now expects revenue for the current quarter will increase by 42.9% to 47.1% from the second quarter of 2012 to a range of $270 million to $278 million. Previously, Spreadtrum was expecting revenue of between $220 million and $228 million.
Spreadtrum's rally has also caused a rise in shares of other wireless-chip manufacturer and sellers with exposure to emerging markets, such as Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) and the largest seller of mobile-phone chips Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).
Skyworks supplies power amplifiers and front-end modules to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including some of the leading smartphone and tablet companies such as Samsung, Apple, HTC and Sony. Despite a solid business model, in the last 12 months, Skyworks' shares have fallen by more than 14% while its competitors have risen by 17%.
Recent reports highlighting weakness in demand for Samsung and Apple smartphones have hurt the company's shares badly. However, I believe that the company's fundamentals are strong and its future is very much bright. Its amplifiers and modules are present in almost every other smartphone around the world. In its recent earnings release, Skyworks beat both top- and bottom-line estimates. For the current quarter, the company's revenue guidance came in below estimates but it remains strong on the earnings front.
Spreadtrum and TD-SCDMA
Spreadtrum is the leading supplier of TD-SCDMA and earns most of its revenue from Korea and China. The TD-SCDMA is the 3G standard which is used by China Mobile -- the biggest telecom operator of the world and the market leader in China. Sreadtrum is a primary supplier to local Chinese firms. Some other analysts have identified that Spreadtrum could be supplying to two of the biggest names in Chinese smartphone market: Huawei and ZTE.
Spreadtrum supplies mainly to the low-end of the Chinese market. I believe that this is its competitive advantage which has given it a strong foothold in the world's biggest smartphone market. However, there is a catch here; serving this particular segment translates into lower margins.
The gross profit margins of Spreadtrum and Qualcomm are presented in the picture below. As is evident, Qualcomm earns nearly twice as much margin than Spreadtrum. The former supplies primarily to companies that cater the high-end of the market such as Samsung, HTC, and Nokia.
Low-end competition
According to the research firm IDC, the shipments to China of TD-SCDMA phones in the first quarter of 2013 reached 28 million units, showing a massive increase of 390% from the same quarter last year. Of this, four out of every five phones cost less than $200 – the low-end phones.
Spreadtrum has recently launched its dual-core 1.2GHz smartphone chipset for TD-SCDMA and EDGE. DigiTimes has highlighted the company's dominance in TD-SCDMA. Last year, it captured almost 50% share of the TD-SCDMA market. This year, its shipments could grow by as much 300%. But will this translate into an increase in market share? Probably not. In fact, DigiTimes goes as far as to suggest a 10 percentage point drop in market share. The reason: competition.
This portion of the market, which is a high-volume low-margin operation and includes firms such as Spreadtrum, MediaTek and Allwinner Tech, has been growing quickly while growth at the higher-end has been slowing down. As a result, it has attracted attention of the bigger players, such as Qualcomm.
Heated competition
As the market grows, competition for dominance in emerging markets is intensifying as Qualcomm is now also fiercely targeting the region. Qualcomm will introduce six new Snapdragon 200s that support TD-SCDMA. The chips will also offer multiple-sim support – a feature which is popular in nearly all Asian countries, particularly in India and China. The new chips will be available as early as by the end of the current year.
However, I believe that China will be extremely challenging for Qualcomm due to fierce price competition from Spreadtrum and MediaTek. It would be difficult for the San Diego-based firm to even maintain its market share as it has to compete solely on price. The China-focused Spreadtrum and Taiwan-based MediaTek have considerable operations in emerging markets and therefore have a cost advantage over Qualcomm.
In fact, some research reports have pointed out that Qualcomm's chip usage in China is under serious threat from Spreadtrum and MediaTek.
Meanwhile, Spreadtrum plans to release W-CDMA chips later this year. This will be Spreadtrum's first foray into this growing market. By 2014, nearly 800 million devices will be using W-CDMA while this number will climb to 1 billion in 2015. Most of this growth will come from emerging markets.
As identified earlier, Spreadtrum's competitive advantage lies at the low-end of the emerging markets and therefore, in the coming years, with the growth in W-CDMA, I am sure that Spreadtrum will be able to increase its revenue, even if it gets a very small share of the W-CDMA market. Add TD-SCDMA to the equation and we'll witness a considerable increase in sales in the coming years, even if its market share in TD-SCDMA drops.
Therefore, despite the rise in competition, these factors alone make Spreadtrum an attractive long-term investment. However, the recent buyout proposal from China's state-owned enterprise Tsinghua for $1.4 billion, or $28.50 per share, caused Spreadtrum's stock to soar by 16.2% on June 21. The company's American depositary shares are currently trading at $26.42.
Despite its two recent rallies, the first coming from the positive guidance and the second from the buyout, Spreadtrum is still cheaper than Qualcomm as its stock is trading at relatively lower multiples to its trailing revenue and full-year profit estimates. Spreadtrum's ADR is currently priced 1.7 times its sales while Qualcomm's shares are trading at 4.8 times its sales. Therefore, I believe that there is significant room for Spreadtrum's stock to grow.
Moreover, Spreadtrum generates a return of equity of 25% while Qualcomm gives 18%. Therefore, I believe that Spreadtrum is still looking good and a potential acquisition by a Chinese government-backed organization could strengthen its position in its key market, particularly related to its ability to secure benefits and subsidies in China.

|This article needs to be wikified. (October 2012)
in hieroglyphs
Purpose[change | change source]
Nephthys was known as the goddess of mourning. She was also one of the nine gods. She was the goddess of night, rivers, sleep, nature and mourning. When Nephthys became the goddess of mourning she also became a friend and protecter of the dead. Nephthys was important in Ancient Egyptian culture because Egyptians considered the afterlife to be very important. She always stood at the head of the coffin that would take the dead to the underworld with outspread wings. Nephthys explained the nether world for the Ancient Egyptians by protecting and caring for the dead. When people died their ''Ba'' would be tested by 40 gods. Many of the gods met up with Nephthys. This is a small list of gods and goddesses.
Ma'at Nut Shu Tefnut Ra Hathor Sobek Neith Geb Horus Anubis Isis Sekmet
Family[change | change source]
Nephthys had many siblings. Her parents were Geb the god of the earth and Nut the goddess of the sky. She was the sister of Isis, Osiris and twin of Seth. She was married to Seth even though she did not like him. She wanted to have a baby but Seth who was the god of death could not have them. Soon she left Seth and pretended to be Isis. [Isis] was married to Osiris. Isis and Nephthys had a strong relationship. Then Nephthys had a baby with Osiris pretending to be Isis.
Appearance[change | change source]
Nephthys was seen wearing a slender sheath dress. On her crown were the hieroglyphs of her name. She could be seen with the hieroglyph symbol of life, the ankh in her hand. She was usually seen at the head of a coffin. Some Egyptians saw Nephthys with blue skin and others saw her with tan skin.
Name[change | change source]
Nephthys was the goddess of mourning. "Nephthys" usually means lady of mansion or mistress of the house but it can also mean "good sister", "friend of the dead", "joyful one" or "sister of the gods".
Cult[change | change source]
The Ramesside Pharaohs were particularly devoted to Set's prerogatives and, in the 19th Dynasty, a temple of Nephthys called the "House of Nephthys of Ramesses-Meriamun" was built or refurbished in the town of Sepermeru, midway between Oxyrhynchos and Herakleopolis, on the outskirts of the Fayyum and quite near to the modern site of Deshasheh. Here, as Papyrus Wilbour notes in its wealth of taxation records and land assessments, the temple of Nephthys was a specific foundation by Ramesses II, located close to (or within) the precinct of the enclosure of Set. To be certain, the House of Nephthys was one of fifty individual, land-owning temples delineated for this portion of the Middle Egyptian district in Papyrus Wilbour. The fields and other holdings belonging to Nephthys's temple were under the authority of two Nephthys-prophets (named Penpmer and Merybarse) and one (mentioned) wa'ab priest of the goddess.
While certainly affiliated with the "House of Set," the Nephthys temple at Sepermeru and its apportioned lands (several acres) clearly were under administration distinct from the Set institution (cf. 'Land Tenure in the Ramesside Period' by S. Katary, 1989). The Nephthys temple was a unique establishment in its own right, an independent entity. According to Papyrus Wilbour (Section 1. 28), another "House of Nephthys of Ramesses-Meriamun" seems to have existed to the north, in the town of Su, closer to the Fayyum region. Interestingly, yet another (probably contemporaneous) temple of Nephthys seems to have existed in the town of Punodjem. The Papyrus Bologna records a complaint lodged by a prophet of the temple of Set in that town regarding undue taxation in his regard. After making an introductory appeal to "Re-Horakhte, Set, and Nephthys" for the ultimate resolution of this issue by the royal Vizier, the prophet (named Pra'emhab) laments his workload. He notes his obvious administration of the "House of Set" and adds: "I am also responsible for the ship, and I am responsible likewise for the House of Nephthys, along with a heap of other temples." (Papyrus Bologna 1094, 5, 8-7, 1).
While the House-of-Nephthys in (ostensibly) Punodjem is not explicitly said to be a foundation of Ramesses II, it may be that Ramesses II founded a series of "temples of Nephthys" (as consort of Set) in order to complement the larger establishments dedicated to her spouse, much in the same way that the smaller temple of Nefertari at Abu Simbel was complementary to (and a dependency of) the "Great Temple" at Abu Simbel. In the roster provided by Papyrus Wilbour, no other divine-consort boasted a land-owning temple of their own within any particular town dominated by a male god. Apparently, Nephthys was deemed quite important enough to merit her own independent sanctuaries. In any event, as "Nephthys of Ramesses-Meriamun," the goddess and her shrine(s) were under the particular endorsement of Ramesses II. The foundations of the Set and Nephthys temples at Sepermeru finally were discovered and identified in the 1980s, and the Nephthys temple was no mere chapel—rather, it was a notable, self-sustaining temple complex within the Set enclosure(cf. 'Les Deesses de l'Egypte Pharaonique', R. LaChaud, 1992, Durocher-Champollion). Likewise, there can be little doubt that a cult of Nephthys existed in the temple and great town of Herakleopolis, north of Sepermeru. A near life-sized statue of Nephthys (currently housed in the Louvre) boasts a curiously altered inscription. The basalt image originally was stationed at Medinet-Habu, as part of the cultic celebration of the Pharaonic "Sed-Festival," but obviously was transferred at some point to Herakleopolis and the temple of Herishef therein. The cult-image's inscription originally pertained to "Nephthys, Foremost of the Sed [Festival] in the Booth of Annals" (at Medinet-Habu), but was re-inscribed or re-dedicated to "Nephthys, Foremost of the [Booths of] Herakleopolis."

- Step 2: In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Stir in onion to coat with oil. Cook uncovered 10 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 20 minutes longer, stirring well every 5 minutes; until onions are golden brown (onions will shrink during cooking). Set aside.

- Expert Tips:
- The Philly cheese steak sandwich originated in Philadelphia in the 1930s. Thinly sliced beef is layered on a French or Italian roll and topped with American cheese and sautéed onions. The classic has been modified to include other cheese varieties such as Cheddar or provolone.
- In place of the regular roast beef, try Cajun- or Italian-seasoned roast beef from the deli. Or if you prefer, use sliced cooked turkey.

Reblog with a personal headcanon about TF2.
Headcanon: Engineer taught Pyro a few chords on his guitar and now Pyro thinks he's a rockstar.
Headcanon: Pyro enjoys gardening in his free time and is responsible for the random vases of flowers that pop up all over the base.
Headcanon: Spy and Medic are really good friends. Spy speaks German and they gossip about the going on's around the base. They also may or may not wax on about their love lives (or lack thereof)
Head canon: Of all the mercs, Solly is the best dancer, which really pisses Spy off.
Headcanon: Engineer is shitty at cooking because he is too exact about it, but tries his best to make ribs for Soldier cause he likes them so much.
Head canon: Spy adores George Gershwin and holds all other music ever to that standard. It really gets on the nerves of everybody else.
Head canon: Pyro is basically Denis Leary under the mask (and personality).
Head canon: Medic's name is Franz Liebkind.
Blame the pigeons for this thought.
Headcanon: Heavy knows massages.

Previously on The West Wing: the President announced a Blue Ribbon Commission to study the long-term future of entitlement programs; we met Toby's ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea Wyatt; during a press briefing, Danny didn't miss a chance to take a cheap shot at C.J. about drug policy.
The camera pans across a desk filled with framed pictures of a woman with her child, receiving some sort of plaque from POTUS, wearing a lab coat and standing by a patient's bedside, etc. We hear someone reading questions about marijuana use. We see a table at which three people sit, two with laptops. One staffer is reading questions to the woman featured in the photos and the other staffer is typing in her responses. It's the Surgeon General, played by Mary Kay Place, and she's hosting an online chat. It's Wednesday night. She's wearing a Stanford sweatshirt and looking quite casual and comfortable. She answers a question about whether marijuana use affects fertility and the reproductive systems. One chat participant ("Pixeladd") asks about the relationship between marijuana use and cancer. She states that there are no conclusive studies, but that there does seem to be strong evidence that pot smoke can be a factor in acquiring respiratory illness. She says, with a chuckle, "If Pixeladd wants to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without throwing up, he should put the bong back in the closet behind the Allman Brothers albums, where it belongs."
The camera moves behind the guy pitching the questions, and the screen goes dark for a moment and comes back up on a different computer monitor. We hear Donna calling out to Josh, and muttering to herself, "What the hell kind of name is Pixeladd?" (I predict we will have someone posting with this name on TWW forums sooner rather than later.) Josh wanders over and says, "I'm done?" She says he is. He announces, "Efficiency, Donna! Efficiency and professionalism and we're out of here at 9:00 on a Wednesday night!" A little shout-out from Aaron Sorkin to himself. Donna points out, "It doesn't hurt the President's in Tokyo." Well, let's wait and hear what Tokyo has to say about that. Josh replies, "Yeah, well, there does seems to be a little less work to do when he's in a different hemisphere, but nonetheless..." Donna says, "Efficiency and professionalism." Josh adds, "With a healthy dollop of leadership skills. The well-placed, well-worded memo. Nobody goes off the reservation. Everybody does their job. Turn off your computer. Let's go." Donna's still reading the chat and not really looking at Josh, but handing him stuff anyway. She says she wants to stay and watch this, and that she thinks maybe he should, too. Josh asks what it is; Donna explains that the Surgeon General is doing an online chat, and that she's currently talking about decriminalizing marijuana. Josh, with his coat already on, walks off-screen saying, "See you tomorrow." Donna keeps reading the screen. It only takes a moment before Josh comes back and sticks his head in, saying, "What's she talking about?" Donna reads the last question, "'Do you favour the decriminalization of marijuana?'" Josh leans over next to Donna and reads the answer, "'It's not for me to say. I can tell you marijuana poses no greater public-health risk than nicotine or alcohol....'" Donna continues, "'...And doesn't show the same addictive properties as heroin or LSD.'" Josh: "'Yet bizarrely to many of us in the health-care profession, the law categorizes it as a Schedule One narcotic, while putting a government seal on a pack of cigarettes.'" Josh's voice is choked as he reads the last bit of that sentence. Donna pauses a second and turns to Josh, "Yeah, somebody didn't get your memo." Cue the credits.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Employees at Vanderbilt University Medical Center are mourning the loss of a co-worker killed in a tragic accident early Monday morning on Vietnam Veterans Boulevard in Hendersonville.
Freeda Simmons, an emergency room nurse at the Nashville hospital, was on her way home shortly before 5:30 a.m. when she struck a trailer that had come loose from a semi truck after a trash dumpster fell from it.
Simmons was rushed back to the emergency room she'd just left but doctors and nurses were unable to save her.
The 50-year-old mother of five was pronounced dead just after 7:30 a.m. Gary Howard, Director of Emergency Services at the hospital, was on his way into work Monday when he received the call.
"I was on my way in when I got the phone call," he told News 2. "Other staff recognized her when she came in. Initially, they were in that roll of caregiver and then pretty quickly after that, the reality set in." Howard said Simmons brought energy to the ER and frequent patients would often ask for her by name.
"She loved her patients, she loved the staff, she loved what she did," he said. "Patients would come in and ask for Freeda by name. They'd say, 'hey, is Freeda working tonight? I want her to be my nurse', and she was just the kind of nurse you would want taking care of you or your family."
Simmons, who had worked at Vanderbilt for the last seven years, also had a love of art and some of her work is hanging in the halls at the hospital.
Her son, Picasso Simmons, plays basketball for Murray State University in Kentucky.
The school will take on Vanderbilt University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in San Jose on Thursday.
Picasso Simmons has said he will dedicate the game to his mother's honor.
Funeral arrangements for Freeda Simmons are incomplete.

ATA Presses on Supporting Documents Suit
Staff Reports
The American Trucking Associations has asked a federal appeals court to resume consideration of its lawsuit to force the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to issue long-overdue regulations governing supporting documents for hours-of-service compliance.
On July 22, ATA told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that settlement discussions have been unsuccessful and that FMCSA's apparent attempt to resolve ATA's concerns actually has created more uncertainties for carriers. Nor has FMCSA committed to a specific date for a rule, ATA said.
ATA's court filing followed its request earlier in July that FMCSA stay a new policy on supporting documents pending revisions the association proposes. Though the agency did not respond, it implicitly disregarded ATA's request by notifying the court that it had adopted the policy, which addresses retention of documents and the use of electronic mobile communication/tracking technology as an alternative to certain documents.
In comments on the policy, which was published June 10 and made effective July 12, ATA said it had serious concerns with portions of the guidance "that we believe depart substantially from prior agency policy and go well beyond the bounds of what the agency may do in guidance."

A New Tattoo On My Heart1 Reviews
When You receive free tickets in the mail you don't sit back and not use them, but what happens when the gift horse comes with a new life?
"Ah you have arrived. Here are the documents you wanted me to dig up" the fat man behind the desk greeted me.
I took the papers off the desk and carefully read through them.
"Yes. This is the information I needed. thanks" I replied and turned to walk out the door.
"If I may ask sir? what did you need the girl's information for?"
I paused.
"It's a surprise"
"Free tickets to a My Chemical Romance concert?" I uttered.
"What's that now Julie?" My best friend who was sitting on the sofa reading a book asked.
"..I have in My hands two free tickets to go see My Chemical Romance when they come to town in a weeks time" I replied, still in shock.
That got Her attention- She leaped off the lounge and raced over to Me, snatching the tickets from my hands and giving them a once over.
"Oh My God these ARE tickets to their concert" She shrieked.
"I'm so glad I live with someone who can verify that these are authentic tickets" I laughed.
She rolled her eyes.
I loved Anna, but sometimes she just left herself wide open for my sarcastic remarks.
"So does that mean We are going?" she asked.
"I guess you are, but I am working" I replied.
"Oh come on! one day of ditching work is all I ask! would it kill you if you just came with me? you know I hate going anywhere by myself" She whined.
"No it wouldn't kill Me. I'll go and call work" I sighed.
Anna shrieked and hugged me as if her life depended on it, gave me back the tickets and flung herself on the couch again to read her book.
I sighed and called work.
"This is Inked Flesh how may I help you?"
"Hey Drake it's Julie, I can't come in to work next week on the 11th because I was mailed tickets to go see My Chemical Romance" I answered and hoped that it would be alright.
"Okay that's fine, just wear some of our merchandise to get us noticed, although I've just realized that you do anyway so let me know how the concert goes"
"Sure, bye" I smiled and hung up.
So I could go, and the concert was days away.
The only thing that bothered me was who would send me the tickets in the first place.

New Generation Sushi vs. Sushi on Bloor
- dlw88 Oct 20, 2006 05:17 PM
Let the battle begin!
Sure, they aren't the best in town, but they're quick, cheap, and each have a high turnover. I have sushi at least twice a week, and on a student's budget, I am unfortunately unable to frequent such faves as Omi, Japango, Michi, and Kaji. NewGen and SOB are jammed almost every night of the week, and each has their diehard regulars who refuse to walk down the street to the other's shorter lineup. So? Who's it going to be?
My take: SUSHI ON BLOOR
- since the spring, they are getting better fish through a new connection (tuna has been great)
- good rice to fish ratio on the MAKI (my biggest criticism of NewGen)
- rice is never too warm (bad experience at NewGen, like it room temp or cooler)
- larger menu
- cheaper
- very friendly staff
Downside - They aren't open late enough!!!
I've tried both, and prefer SoB myself. The atmosphere in the upstairs dining room is great, and the sushi has many good quality, many of which are aforementioned.
After waiting an hour and a half for raw fish at SOB I have been completely turned off the place. Also had the server tell me that I was a liar when I told him I had been waiting that long.
Always love going to New Gen. Fast friendly service. Don't mind waiting in line, cause it moves fast. I like their menu better.
New Gen. all the way.
1) SOB doesn't put any, repeat: any, wasabi on the sushi -- not even in the maki. At least the maki needs to made with some! Tekka-maki just is wrong without any wasabi.
2) The miso soup is awful at SOB. Why they use nori instead of wakame is beside me.
3) The service is much slower at SOB. I admit that the converse (being rushed at New Gen.) can occur.
4) They have better fish. Or at least they did. I haven't been since SOB's supposed better fish supplies came into effect.
5) Health violations.
I think this is the worst health inspection record I've seen short of places that got a red. Argggh
SOB is disgusting. I went there once and the octopus was like rotten and the fish was smelly.
wow, that health inspection record is rediculously bad. they're definitely going on the never visit list.
Another vote for New Gen. I've been there more than any other sushi joint in the last year (GF loves the place) and 90% of the time I've had a great time. SOB is just aweful with the food inspection failures. I heard about it recently but didn't know how bad it was.
New Gen!
I was so scared they'd never get back up and running after their big fire last year.
Great service, and I used to go 4 times/week when I used to work very late shifts. Where else can I get good sushi at 1 am in the morning??? They always recognize regulars, and their food just tastes better than SOB.
One thing SOB has going for them is slightly bigger portions and slightly lower prices.
re: qtxniki
LOL! Us too! I think we were there the first day they re-opened.
One thing I get as a regular is they always give me fresh hot crab and tempura shrimp in the Spider and Dragon. They know I am disappointed when it is cold, so they take that extra step. Love the cool salmon and hot tempura combination.
I agree that NewGen is way better. Besides the food, service is way friendlier. I do also enjoy Sushi Inn in yorkville as a cheap and fast place.
I have been a fan of Sushi on Bloor for several years...I usually order "take out" to avoid the lines, and bad service.
After reading the above posts, I am certainly going to check out New Gen.
After reading the post, I skipped SOB for lunch and went to New Gen to try it out.
Well... i just had one of their many choices of lunch special. The food was "okay", and the service was fairly unimpressive. My friend's lunch was the same. Hum.. I am debating if I will go back to SOB because of their record. I will concede that SOB's sushi rolls are MUCH better!
I went to Sushi on Bloor last weekend. Sadly I missed this thread before going. It was horrible. There were bugs crawling across the floor and I left half my food on the plate. Not to mention the service. I'll have to give New Gen a try. Thanks guys.
re: LovesToEat
Our large group did not get free ice cream at the conclusion of our meal (back in October).
re: Food Tourist
Free ice cream is at dinner time only. I've crawled back with my tail between my legs, and am enjoying my meals again for what they are. For some reason, I find the food to be better if you're sitting downstairs.
It's so weird, I always have been and still am a BIG FAN of Sushi On Bloor. I've eaten there dozens and dozens of times and have never once seen anything come even close to a health and safety issue (and believe me I've been looking). I've never had food that was served questionably or with a dubious odour - the food has always been outstanding and fresh. Nor have I seen anything else that would make me take my money elsewhere. I've seen their really awful inspection records on the City of Toronto's web site and I gotta admit that is bad. Like really bad. I'm not sure what to make of that as I've never had anything come close to this experience in all my times there.
Until I experience something unacceptable firsthand my stance remains: their food is awesome. The Negima Yaki changed my life for the better. Haha. Seriously, SOB food still good. The horrendously long lines and really bad service though....yeah not so much.
Sushi on bloor sucks in terms of their service! My friends and I just went there today and had an aweful experience with one of the servers. She was extremely rude, it was painfully obvious that she didn't like her job.. so why is she there? I want to tell her to go make money some place else where she doesn't have to interact with people!
I really hope she gets fired!
So.. I'm trying to make a sushi reservation for tonight, I like BOTH NG and SOB but neither have resos available in my timeframe. Has anyone tried any of the other million sushi places on bloor b/w Bathurst and Spadina? (i.e. Big Sushi?). Would I be embarassed to take friends anywhere other than NG or SOB?
re: plans2nite
Just got back from a pretty subpar experience at Big Sushi. After being served a lukewarm miso soup and a salad consisting of 4 small pieces of iceberg, we were served their version of Hiyayakko (cold tofu) - which they made with firm tofu with a grainy texture, rather than silken tofu. That just didn't work. The rest of the meal was lacklustre.
If you want cheap, Sushi On Bloor or New Gen are the way to go. Tokyo Sushi isn't a bad choice either.
re: bluedog
These are the same people that have declared Pizza Pizza the best pizza in the city.
re: jonnybee
Big Sushi has to be the worst sushi in Toronto. If that doesn't deter you, than the service should...
re: tochipotle
I LOVE Big Sushi, and for me it is the best (reasonably priced) sushi in Toronto. The people there are always nice, they remember you and the chefs always cheerily wave to customers. There is a nice big sitting area in the back, and its ambience is a lot nicer than New Generation.
re: kitty901
I also agree that Big Sushi has great food and the servers are very friendly. However, as friendly as they are, their service is awful! I love the place too much to have it tarnish my decision to go there, but I do find myself warning friends who are going there for the first time that while the food and prices are stellar, the service is a bit pathetic.
Ah, I feel such a stab saying this, I really do love my Big Sushi, I just wish I didn't have to wait 35 minutes to get the attention of a server to ASK for a tea refill.
re: tochipotle
I'm not sure why you would say that - I personally find the quality of ingredients and preparation (slightly) better than both New Gen & Sushi on Bloor. And their Teriyaki is hands down better quality meat. I will agree that the service isn't great however, but it is still pleasant enough. Regardless, it's biggest difference from New Gen & SOB is the ambiance and space. As for food, all three are in a similar ball-park.

Prospective Students
Welcome to Wake Forest College
At the heart of Wake Forest University is the College's rich liberal arts core. Surrounding the college are the graduate and professional schools, each with its own distinctive program. Wake Forest functions as a Collegiate University, a community where scholars, both faculty and students, habitually cross the boundaries of their particular disciplines, schools, and programs to engage in collaborative, interdisciplinary work. We teach one another—students, college faculty—because we are small enough to know one another, excited by our research and our teaching; we are members of a community that prizes collaboration and appreciates difference.
Wake Forest College began as a manual labor institute in 1834, with an initial class of just 16 young men. Today, 177 years later, over 4600 undergraduates and a faculty of over 450 comprise the cornerstone of our collegiate university, Wake Forest College. Wake Forest remains dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of education and to preparing our students for life in a challenging, global environment.
Since Wake Forest's affiliation with The Washington Center in 2006, 146 Wake Forest students, including three post-graduates, have been selected to participate in semester-long or summer internships in their specific areas of academic interest or career exploration. The experience of living, learning, and interning in the Washington, DC area has been described by previous students as "life changing", "challenging", and "personally and professionally rewarding".
Campus Life at Wake Forest represents a journey that seeks to engage students in experiences that broaden the mind, strengthen the body, and inspire the spirit. Opportunities for such experiences abound at Wake Forest. In collaboration with student leaders the offices of student life aim to enrich the lives of students through meaningful engagement in student organizations, service learning, campus activities, community and civic engagement, recreation, and leadership development.
From the jungles of Vietnam and the plains of Africa to the ancient ruins of Greece and the galleries of Paris, more than 60 percent of Wake Forest undergraduates study abroad. More than 400 options are available through University-administered and affiliate programs in more than 200 cities and 70 countries worldwide.
It's new, exciting, and somewhat anxiety-inducing, and it starts right now. Never forget to enjoy every minute of it. You've arrived. Slap on the bumper sticker. Wear the t-shirt. Lose yourself in school spirit. You might not know them yet, but you're among friends.
Undergraduate Admissions Office
Wake Forest is the nation's premier collegiate university, balancing the personal attention of a small liberal arts college with the breadth and depth of a large research university. Wake Forest's relatively small size – less than 5,000 undergraduates – enables the University to create rich interdisciplinary programs within and across all programs of study.
Since its creation in 1834 as a small liberal arts college in eastern North Carolina, Wake Forest has been educating students from all walks of life. Many of the early students came from the region's small towns and farms, rich in faith and community but poor in hard currency. After the Civil War, most southern families had even less money, and finding a way to pay for college was a huge challenge.

Deep cervical artery
|Artery: Deep cervical artery
Costocervical trunk with branches. Right side.
|arteria cervicalis profunda
|costocervical trunk
|deep cervical vein
The deep cervical artery (Profunda cervicalis) is an artery of the neck.
It arises, in most cases, from the costocervical trunk, and is analogous to the posterior branch of an aortic intercostal artery: occasionally it is a separate branch from the subclavian artery.
Passing backward, above the eighth cervical nerve and between the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra and the neck of the first rib, it runs up the back of the neck, between the semispinalis capitis and semispinalis cervicis, as high as the axis vertebra, supplying these and adjacent muscles, and anastomosing with the deep division of the descending branch of the occipital, and with branches of the vertebral.
It gives off a spinal twig which enters the canal through the intervertebral foramen between the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebrae.

Categories as fundamental as fact and fiction, news and entertainment, gender and sexuality, have eroded away. In literature and architecture, in cuisine, in music, in fashion and furnishings, everywhere, everything—it's fusion and mix. Barack Obama emerged as a literal embodiment of this age. To educated people, especially younger people with generally progressive views, other candidates suddenly looked parochial by comparison—or simply outdated. In his ethnicity and biography and in his personality and politics, Obama, the conciliator, was above all a combiner. Because he was from virtually everywhere—Kenya, Indonesia, Honolulu, Harvard, Chicago's South Side—he was also from nowhere. The pastiche of his persona made him "his own man" in a new sense of the term.On the Politics of Pastiche and Depthless Intensities: The Case of Barack Obama
Most forms of FGC are decidedly harmful, and pediatricians should decline to perform them, even in the absence of any legal constraints. However, the ritual nick suggested by some pediatricians is not physically harmful and is much less extensive than routine newborn male genital cutting. There is reason to believe that offering such a compromise may build trust between hospitals and immigrant communities, save some girls from undergoing disfiguring and life-threatening procedures in their native countries, and play a role in the eventual eradication of FGC. It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm.
