Oh the Irony: 42 Year Old Omar J. Gonzalez Arrested by Secret Service Inside White House … Scaled the White House Fence (VIDEO)
42 year old Omar J. Gonzalez of Copperas Cove, Texas was arrested Friday night after he climbed over the White House fence and made it through the North Portico doors of the White House. The White House staff members were evacuated; however, the Obama family were not at home. President Obama and his daughters had left via helicopter for the presidential retreat at Camp David, MD, just minutes before the incident. Following Gonzalez's apprehension, he was taken to George Washington Medical Center for a medical evaluation.
Just curious, why was he arrested, why was this considered a crime? Isn't this just a microcosm of our Southern border and the fence jumping that occurs every day? For Barack Obama and his administration, the illegals coming into the United States by scaling the Mexico-US border fence are not committing any crime. Barack Obama does not believe in border security, so why does he believe in security for the White House? Oh that's right, that is different. For illegals who "illegally" scale a fence and cross into America get amnesty, but scale the White House fence and you get arrested.
A Texas man who scaled the White House fence made it through the North Portico doors on Friday night before being apprehended, the Secret Service said.
The intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, was arrested just inside the doors and taken to George Washington University Hospital after complaining of chest pains, said Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman.
None of the Obamas were home when the security breach occurred about 7:20 p.m., but White House staff members were evacuated as a precaution, officials said. President Obama and his daughters had left for the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., just minutes before the incident.
Mr. Gonzalez, of Copperas Cove, Tex., was not armed and was not carrying a bag or a backpack when officials spotted him jumping the fence on the Pennsylvania Avenue side, Mr. Donovan said. He ignored several calls for him to stop as officers gave chase.
No shots were fired and the White House guard dogs were not called out to stop him.

Of course then their is the other metaphor that this incident presents, if Obama can't protect the White House from a 42 year old man, how is he going to protect America against terrorism and ISIS?

Secretary of State John Kerry Says U.S. Not At War with ISIS
One day after President Barack Obama spoke to the nation and told us about the threat of ISIS and his strategy to deal with them, his Secretary of State John Kerry says we are not at war with ISIS. Unbelievable. After the tough talk of Obama saying, "if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven," it is followed up of the weakness of Kerry refusing to say we are at war with ISIS. Kerry stated, that's the wrong terminology. It is not a war, it is a major counter-terrorism operation. WHAT!!! The Obama administration is more worried about semantics than they are victory. John Kerry went on to say, there is "No need for "war fever" in ISIS operations. These are the wrong people, at the wrong time to be in charge.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday would not say the United States is at war with ISIS, telling CNN in an interview that the administration's strategy includes "many different things that one doesn't think of normally in context of war."
"What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counterterrorism operation," Kerry told CNN's Elise Labott in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. "It's going to go on for some period of time. If somebody wants to think about it as being a war with ISIL, they can do so, but the fact is it's a major counterterrorism operation that will have many different moving parts."
Kerry made a distinction between ISIS and terror groups operating in Somalia and Yemen.
Doesn't this sound an awful lot like Obama changing the "Global war on terror" to 'Overseas Contingency Operation'. How has that worked out for us America? Political Correctness kills.
As the famous line goes: Truth is the first casualty of war.
Calling it something else doesn't change even that.
Especially that. Perhaps Secretary Kerry should consider the words of General Sherman:
"War is cruelty, you cannot refine it."
Or redefine it

Barack Obama Lectures ISIL on Real Islam … "ISIL is not Islamic"
Barack Obama, the Apologist in Chief was at it again last night with his "tin-horn" speech on the ISIS threat. Obama was finally able to muster up the "cojones" to call ISIS a terrorist group, but he just could not find it in himself to say they were Islamic. UNREAL. So ISIS is not Islamic because Obama says so and because they kill Muslims? HUH? Mr. President, you might want to read the Quran and that religion of Peace.
"ISIL is not Islamic. No religion condones the murder of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state."

Its Been 13 Years Since September 11, 2001 … Have You Forgotten? We Have Not, We Will Always Remember Those We Lost, The Heroes & the Evil that Attacked Us and Continues To
Today is the 13th anniversary since that fateful Fall day on September 11, 2001 where the United States of America changed forever … Please Don't Ever Forget.
Today, bells toll and a moment of silence commemorate the exact times that the planes piloted by Islamic terrorists crashed into both towers the World Trade Center in New York City, into the Pentagon in Washington, DC and into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The bells toll to remember the times that both towers fell in NYC and thousands of innocent people were killed who's only crime was going to work and the heroes that rushed into the buildings and never came home.
Have you forgotten that September morning? In many ways it seems that many have. That is until we are attacked again, like in Benghazi, Libya September 11, 2012. A terror attacked passed off as being blamed on a anti- Islamic video tape by our government which we pretty much know is a lie. Have you forgotten? It seems like a country once again did until suddenly they received a wake up call from a jayvee terrorist group known as ISIS. There will always be those who wish to destroy America simple because, we are America. God bless all those who lost their lives and to the families, loved ones, friends and those who have been personally affected by the terror acts of 9-11. Its been 13 years, I miss you.
However, today is meant to honor the memories and the lives of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the heroes that inspired a nation. It has been 13 years to the day of that fateful September morning in 2001 where in an instant our lives and world changed forever. Nearly 3000 people lost their lives in NYC at the World Trade Center, in Washington, DC as flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and in a field in Shanksville, PA where heroes aboard Flight 93 took matters into their hands and said "NO to terrorism". DO YOU REMEMBER? Please I beg you, NEVER FORGET.
I understand the reason why solemn services are held and the bells toll to remember the times in which these horrific terror acts were perpetrated on the United States, but do not ever forget the images, the sounds and the smells of what actually took place. It should be carved into the minds and souls of all Americans. If it is not, if we forget, we will be destined to repeat history.
First Plane Hits South South Tower and the following horror
Second Plane Hits North Tower of World Trade Center
Tower Two Collapses as people run for their lives
South Tower Falls … "Oh my God"
North Tower Collapse

Greta Van Susteren Says the Obama White House Pressured Her to Get FOX News Reporter to Back Down on Benghazi Investigation
More dirty Chicago-style politics and shredding of the First Amendment by the Obama Administration …
FOX News' Greta Van Susteren admitted Friday in "Off the Record" that she was called by the Obama White House and pressured to get Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin (VIDEO) to back down on her Benghazi investigation. So much for The US Constitution, the First Amendment and Freedom of the Press. Of course we know the rest of the lapdog media was more than willing to oblige Obama.
"Since day one of Benghazi FOX News has been aggressively investigating. It hasn't been easy. It's been more like pulling teeth to get answers from the Obama administration. The Obama administration's behavior post Benghazi has been weird. Like they're trying to hide something. First that silly story about that video. Remember Susan Rice on all the Sunday talk shows? Even President Obama kept talking about the video for weeks. So FOX continued to press for information … A few weeks later when FOX news reporter Jennifer Griffin said she was told there was a stand-down order at Benghazi, I got a weird call from the Obama administration trying to pressure me to get Jennifer to back down on her report. I thought the call from the Obama administration was dirty. Incidentally, I don't control my colleagues and they don't control me."

Bret Baier Fox News Exclusive – '13 Hours in Benghazi': Top CIA Officer in Benghazi Delayed Response to Terrorist Attack … "I strongly believe if we'd left immediately, they'd still be alive today."
IN A MUST SEE INTERVIEW, their account gives a dramatic new turn to what the Obama administration and its allies would like to dismiss as an "old story" – the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Ahead of the book, "13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi" comes the following interview with Fox News Special Report Brett Baier and the security contractors — Kris ("Tanto") Paronto, Mark ("Oz") Geist, and John ("Tig") Tiegen.
Pic – Fox News Special report screen Grab, WATCH VIDEO HERE
A U.S. security team in Benghazi was held back from immediately responding to the attack on the American diplomatic mission on orders of the top CIA officer there, three of those involved told Fox News' Bret Baier.
Their account gives a dramatic new turn to what the Obama administration and its allies would like to dismiss as an "old story" – the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Speaking out publicly for the first time, the three were security operators at the secret CIA annex in Benghazi – in effect, the first-responders to any attack on the diplomatic compound. Their first-hand account will be told in a Fox News special, airing Friday night at 10 p.m. (EDT).
Based on the new book "13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi" by Mitchell Zuckoff with the Annex Security Team, the special sets aside the political spin that has freighted the Benghazi issue for the last two years, presenting a vivid, compelling narrative of events from the perspective of the men who wore the "boots on the ground."
Now, looking back, the security team said they believed that if they had not been delayed for nearly half an hour, or if the air support had come, things might have turned out differently.
"Ambassador Stevens and Sean [Smith], yeah, they would still be alive, my gut is yes," Paronto said. Tiegen concurred.
"I strongly believe if we'd left immediately, they'd still be alive today," he added.

VIDEO Shows ISIS Beheading Another American Journalist Hostage, This Time Steven Sotloff … A "Second Message to America" to Halt Airstrikes in Iraq … Is UK Aid Worker David Cawthorne Haines Next?
Hmm, at what point will the MSM stop carrying the water and making excuses for Barack Obama and demand he do something?
The brutal, vicious and heinous actions of ISIS continues, as a VIDEO today showed yet another beheading of an American journalist. Just 13 days after the murderous beheading of James Foley, ISIS has done it again. This time they have beheaded Steven Sotloff in an act of barbarism. Steven Sotloff was a 31 year old freelance journalist from Florida who was kidnapped in Syria in August 2013. The masked murderer in the VIDEO actually called out Obama saying, "I'm back, Obama, and I'm back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State … So just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people." And Barack Hussein Obama is no where to be found. I guess he is too busy dithering and being too cautious trying to figure out what his strategy is. Instead the feckless and clueless Obama would have you believe that this isn't that bad and "The world's always been messy … we're just noticing now in part because of social media." WHAT!!!
The Islamic State militant group released a video on Tuesday purporting to show the beheading of a second American hostage, journalist Steven Sotloff, raising the stakes in its confrontation with Washington over U.S. air strikes on its insurgents in Iraq.
"I'm back, Obama, and I'm back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State, because of your insistence on continuing your bombings and in Amerli, Zumar and the Mosul Dam, despite our serious warnings," the masked man said in the video, addressing U.S. President Barack Obama.
"So just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people."
In the video, Sotloff describes himself as "paying the price" with his life for the U.S. intervention in Iraq.
As the American Spectator asks, "How many more Americans does ISIS have to behead before President Obama develops a strategy on ISIS?"
UPDATE I: Fears for UK aid worker David Cawthorne Haines after Islamic State murders Steven Sotloff.
London: UK prime minister David Cameron has condemned the killing of another journalist by Islamic State extremists as "a despicable and barbaric murder".
A video of the latest killing reported to be US journalist Steven Sotloff emerged on Tuesday afternoon UK-time, featuring the same militant who killed James Foley, named in the UK media as British jihadist Adbel-Majed Abdel Bary, dubbed 'Jihadi John'.
According to intelligence group SITE, the killer also threatened another captive, thought to be Briton David Cawthorne Haines.
The Washington Post reported that Mr Haines was shown in the video in the same kneeling position and wearing the same orange jumpsuit as Sotloff and Foley before him.
Mr Haines, was abducted in March 2013 near the Atmeh refugee camp adjoining the Turkish border in the northern Syrian province of Idlib, aid workers who have been involved in efforts to secure his release told the Post.
UPDATE II: Yawn, The U.S. State Department says it is "sickened" by a video that purports to show the beheading of U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff. Sorry, but we have heard this before. How about some action rather than reading the same script with replace "innocent person's name".

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia Warned the West Will be the Next Target of ISIS Jihadists Unless there is "Rapid" Action
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah says the West will be next unless ISIS is dealt with quickly …
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia warns the West of ISIS stating, "If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month." King Abdullah warned that ISIS jihadists must be dealt with quickly, saying a lack of action would be "unacceptable" in the face of the terrorist phenomenon. Of course I would ask two question. One, what has King Abdullah and Saudi Arabia done to quell ISIS or terrorists and two, take rapid action, doesn't King Abdullah realize that in Obama, he is talking to a ditherer?
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has warned that the West will be the next target of the jihadists sweeping through Syria and Iraq, unless there is "rapid" action.
"If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month," he said in remarks quoted on Saturday by Asharq al-Awsat daily and Saudi-backed Al-Arabiya television station.
"Terrorism knows no border and its danger could affect several countries outside the Middle East," said the king who was speaking at a welcoming ceremony on Friday for new ambassadors, including a new envoy from Saudi ally the United States.
The Islamic State (IS) jihadist group has prompted widespread concern as it advances in both Syria and Iraq, killing hundreds of people, including in gruesome beheadings and mass executions.
Lack of action would be "unacceptable" in the face of the phenomenon, King Abdullah said.
"You see how they (jihadists) carry out beheadings and make children show the severed heads in the street," he said, condemning the "cruelty" of such acts.
"It is no secret to you, what they have done and what they have yet to do. I ask you to transmit this message to your leaders: 'Fight terrorism with force, reason and (necessary) speed'."

Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) Says President Obama 'Too Cautious' on ISIS
Barack Obama, the Ditherer in Chief …
This Sunday on Meet the Press, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein called Barack Obama a ditherer in dealing with ISIS. Host Andra Mitchell asked, "The fact is, they have been on the march now for months, if not years. So why does the president still say we don't have a strategy yet? The Democrat Senator from California Feinstein's exact response was, "I think I've learned one thing about this president, and that is he's very cautious. Maybe in this instance, too cautious." In other words, a ditherer.
dith•er (definition)
- to be uncertain or indecisive
- state of indecision
- to act irresolutely; vacillate.
- To be nervously irresolute in acting or doing
ditherer – noun: a person who dawdles or is indecisive, pictorial definition, see Barack Obama.
Meet the Press Transcript, Aug 31, 2014:
ANDREA MITCHELL: The fact is, they have been on the march now for months, if not years. So why does the president still say we don't have a strategy yet? Doesn't that project weakness from the White House?
DIANNE FEINSTEIN: Well, I mean, I know what you want me to say. But I'm not going to say it in that sense. I think I've learned one thing about this president, and that is he's very cautious. Maybe in this instance, too cautious. I do know that the military, I know that the State Department, I know that others have been putting plans together.
And so hopefully, those plans will coalesce into a strategy that can encourage that coalition from Arab nations, Jordan's at jeopardy, Lebanon's at jeopardy, the UAA and other countries are in jeopardy. So there is good reason for people to come together now and begin to approach this as a very real threat, that it in fact is.
ANDREA MITCHELL: The president back in January told The New Yorker magazine, David Remnick, that ISIS is the JV team. That was clearly wrong.
DIANNE FEINSTEIN: Well, I think it's wrong too. I think it's a major varsity team. And if you want to use those kinds of monikers. But I see nothing that compares with its viciousness. I've been on the intelligence committee now since before 9/11, and I've watched this evolution of non-state actors into world terror very carefully and closely.
And this is really the first group that has the wherewithal in terms of financing, the fighting machine in terms of a structure– a heavy equipment, heave explosives, the ability to move quickly, I mean, they crossed the border into Iraq before we even knew it happened. So this is a group of people who are extraordinarily dangerous. And they'll kill with abandon

Border Patrol Agent Chris Cabrera Says Federal Government Releasing Murderers Into U.S. & Morale is at an All-Time Low
What else should we expect from Barack Obama, a Community agitator?
Is it any surprise that US Border agent's morale is at an all-time low when agents are not allowed to do the job that they were hired to do and they see on a daily basis that they have to let admitted gang members and murderers into the United States per the federal government? What has become of this country? Honestly, what is the point of having immigration laws, border agents and a border if we are not going to uphold them? This is what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum.
A Border Patrol agent claims that the federal government is allowing murderers from Central America to be released into the U.S.
Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, agent Chris Cabrera stated that these teenage gang members crossing the border are being released to family members in the U.S.
"If they have family in the United States, they'll release them to the family, even if they're admitted gang members," Cabrera explained to Fox News. "We've had a couple that had admitted to murders in their home country. They were 17 years old, 16 years old, and the United States government thought it fit to release them to their parents here in the United States.
"Even if he's a confirmed gang member, a confirmed criminal even by self-admission, we for some reason don't send them back to their home country, we release them into our country."

WHERE did the phrase...the lion will lay down with the lamb come from?????...Just simply curious.. It actually reads: Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. [/quote] LOL , Yes it is our tradition to place the lion and the lamb together. Its a astrological riddle, Leo and Aries, or Summer and Spring... or Easter and the Revelation Throne.. The original verse adds the wolf and the leopard and the goat and the calf.. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them… 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:1-9) [/quote] The knowledge of the Lord will spread throughout the earth, life giving waters coming to those who live the Kingdom within their own hearts, connected to the Father in Spirit and Truth as the only direct conduit for truth source, the only true way to heal the nations, is to become one with God and let go and surrender to Father/life source within... Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Eating from this tree which brings life, is a gift to those who overcome. Overcome what? Overcoming all that caused you to become seperated from GOD...forgetting to look within ourself for Him. He never left us, we left Him. Home is where the heart is, we have been home all along. We have to become quiet,still and listen...God is in us. We went looking outside of paradise for our own desires, our own truth, eating from the tree of knowledge of others doing the work for us, when the truth is within us. There are just way too many Trees of Knowledge trying to lead the blind, keeping us caught in their nets. (religions) We have to look to Him alone to break open the 7 seals in us, to have the right to partake from the tree of life. We have to look to Him alone, here his voice....a surrendering and have faith He will lead us out of ourself...our fallen state. Stop looking to man made religions to be spoon fed, truth mixed with lies. Isaiah 55:1 "Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk WITHOUT money and without cost. Come to the waters within, and be taught freely. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXeUvDOMgGY[/youtube] [/quote]

THE LION of JUDAH UNVEILED, and the KING OF KINGS by Apollo
The year 10, 500 BC marked the beginning of the Aeons, and the Age of LEO and the Ancient ones in the first age regarded HU as the giver of life. NUT the Sky Goddess in the Egyptian beliefs, revealed her celestial canopy after the Virgo ruled land of MU Lemuria disappeared under the sea along with Atlantis ending the Age of Cancer and Gemini in the flood of Noah 3,000 years BC when the protective sky canopy broke and paradise was lost .
The male rulership of Jehovah was claimed to decree this catastrophic event . It was the age of Taurus in which he chose a group of people to represent him and the age of Aries in which a ram replaced the sacrifice of a cherished Son of Abraham.
It wasn't until the age of Pisces that a Lion of the Tribe of Judah was prophecied to arise to restore the first ancient ways of pacifism to a people accustomed to war. A lion was to lay down with the lamb. A great teacher was to preach peace to the war weary Hebrews under Roman Dominion .
The lion was a mighty animal free to roam in the Lebanon, Hermon and Jordan ranges and the southern Judean wilderness. The mane of the lions hair reminded people of the sun, so fittingly the symbol of the Sun God became the lion and the ruling planet was the sun. A lion cub grew its golden shaggy mane at around three years old. It was around three years of age that a child was visited by three wise men in a country home.
From lead to Gold was the escape and promise from the structures of Saturn to the freedom of exhaltation to whom would bear the light.
"Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals. Revelation 5:5
Let us look back on the history of the formations of the tribes..
Tribe, The Hebrew words representing tribe was "matteh" and "shevet" meaning rod or staff. Exodus 7:12 and Proverbs 13::24 . Cause of the leader of the clan would carry a scepter or staff.
The tribal arrangement of Israel was based on Jacobs twelve sons who had to encamp in the wilderness under their representative zodiac signs.
The Tribe of Levi was the Priestly class under the Sons of Aaron.
The Tribe of Benjamin produced Israels first king, King Saul who was anointed by Samuel. The Tribe of Judah produced King David who slew Goliath. Judah was Jacobs forth son from first wife Leah whom Jacob was tricked into marrying (his heart was tied to her more beautiful sister Rachel) . The Tribe of Judah was described as a lion cub and the prophecies of Judah was pronounced in Genesis 49: 10. "the scepter will not turn aside from Judah, neither the commanders staff from between his feet until Shiloh comes , and to him the obedience of the peoples will belong."
David fulfilled this when King Saul died and David fought to obtain the lands of Israel until he claimed all the Benjamite territory and made Jerusalem the capital and claiming Zion. For 500 years, Judah claimed the Kingship Sceptre and Staff until King Solomon lost favor and his Son Rehoboam lost ten tribes from his Kingdom so Israel was united no more. Benjamin and Judah was the only ones that stayed loyal to the house of David splitting the Kingdom to Israel of the Northern Kingdom and Judah to the South. In 722 BC Assyrian invaders from what is now (Iraq) invade the Northern Israel and Babylon (also what is now Iraq) attacked the nation of Judah in 586 BC and destroying the temple of Solomon. These invasions began the Lost Tribe theories when many of the individuals of the tribes became un accounted for when they had been taken prisoner. Many have intermarried with the invaders bloodline, but others have migrated and scattered.
Restoration for the prisoners of Babylon occurred when King Cyrus of Persia allowed the land of Judah restored. The nation of Judah at least could commence the generations to fulfillment in Ezekials promise
" A ruin, a ruin! I will make it a ruin ! It will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs, to him I will give it. Ezekial 21:27
"In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples : the nations will rally to him and his place of rest will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from upper Egypt , from Cush, Fom Elam, from Babylon, from Hamnath and from the islands of the sea. Isaiah 11:10
… Judahs enemies will be cut off. Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah. Isaiah 11:13
The promise of the Lion was to be fulfilled. The sphinx of prophecy was to become the Capstone the builders rejected.
12 golden lions lined the walkway to the Throne of Solomon in the Porch of the throne that stood on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Even Solomon knew that there was to be a man of Gold to arise from one of the 12 tribes of God. LEO, The Lion of Judah.
The Hierosgamos of the Sacred marriage of Sun and Moon occurs with Leo Sun and Cancer Moon. The shining brilliance of the summer sunlight is the golden mane of the Lion of Judah who is crowned as King. The sign of cancer was also known as the sheepfold congregation which hosts the beehive constellation of stars and the two donkeys of Aselus Borealis and Aselus Astralis which was the manger of the Christ child. The moon is the fruitage of Yesod which births the young child Mercurius .
The sign following the Hierogamos and the divine mystery of union and conjunction is the sign of Virgo, the woman and the Mother of God.
This brings to mind the bible verse: Isaiah 7:14, 15 . Therefore Jehovah himself will give you men a sign: Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey he will eat by the time that he knows how to reject the bad and choose the good.
Spiritual apotheosis is the nourishment of the material world into connection with the divine. The pomegranates is the blood that the High Priestess nourishes when the ascending spirit passes between the twin pillars . Judgement is given in the scales of Maat, "justice" and the works of equilibrium heals the monad on his return and reunion of the ONE.
In the late summer and fall we have Virgo appearing right before Dawn with the Sun shining around her head as a halo in mid September which is near the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah. She announces the Fall Equinox and the harvest of grain and crops which nourishes our body
In October the sun is moving down her arm to conjunct with Spica every October 16th, In the western zodiac, the suns placement is Libra, but in the skies he shines in virgo and nourishes her sprig of golden wheat which brings to fulfillment this Bible verse in Jerusalem more than two thousand years ago ..
"Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying,"This means my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me. Also the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying. "This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf" Luke 22 : 19, 20
Under the sun, the wheat berries have grown to harvest and the stones would grind them into flour for the bread. The sun also ripened the grapes which was to be fermented into wine'
South east of Virgo lies the cup of Christ, the constellation of crater which is the Holy Grail of Bloodlines. We are the children of the Sun, and his bread is our body and his wine is our blood. How fitting it is that the ancient Holy land announces the new year (Rosh Hashanah.. Various dates in September) at harvest time when the Mother rises with the Sun shining as her halo and blending all faiths into the apotheosis monad of ONE

|Blog Posts
For inspiration, I had been reading a number of bike commuting blogs, mostly by fashionable, young women living in exciting cities like San Francisco and Chicago. I was a little older than most of them and living in a small town in the middle of a southwestern National Forest. I was more likely to have to navigate my bicycle around a large elk than a taxi cab. Nobody would be impressed to see me pedaling in Manolo Blahnik's; Keens are de rigueur in Flagstaff!
Yes, yes, yes! I'll do it . . . . and months passed. "Are you going to do it or are you going to just talk about it?", asked my husband. Well, what could I do given a challenge like that?
Now, three years later I gushing with excitement to report that She Rides a Bike just landed on the Extanz.com's 50 Most Influential Bloggers of 2011 ! A friend and SRAB reader just surprised me with the news this evening. I had actually glanced at the list but since I didn't expect to see my blog included in the same list at Copenhagen Cycle Chic , Let's Go Ride a Bike , Lovely Bicycle , and Bike Snob NYC , I didn't even notice that SRAB had made the list. Just as thrilling is that Commute by Bike , the go-to bike commuting blog that I occasionally contribute to and run by Flagstaff e-retailer Bike Shop Hub came in at 23.
If you've read a recent whiny post on this blog, you know that being included on this list, among so many entertaining and informative blogs is a huge honor and shot in the arm for me. I am so grateful to all the people who visit SRAB and leave comments, many of whom are fellow bike bloggers who warmly welcomed me into a creative, unique and adventurous community. So many of people doubt that we have anything relevant to say or assume that our private thoughts only have meaning to them. I'm definitely one of those self-doubters so thank you to all SRAB readers and fellow bloggers for reminding me that I'm not that alone. And also thank you, thank you, to my husband the Planner Guy for pushing me to exercise my responsibility to make good things happen in my own life.

Planning reforms leave villages 'under siege' from builders with 'horrendous' schemes given green light
- Reforms are forcing local officials to approve 'horrendous' developments
- Villagers in most picturesque parts of England say they feel under siege
- Meanwhile, councillors claim they are no longer free to make decisions
- Comes as National Trust said councils are being 'hustled' by Government
- Coalition aims to build hundreds of thousands of new homes in country
Planning reforms are forcing local officials to approve 'horrendous' housing developments they would prefer to reject, councillors warned last night.
Villagers in the most picturesque parts of England say they feel under siege because of the Coalition's drive to build hundreds of thousands of new homes, seemingly anywhere there is space.
Councillors on local planning boards, who in the past guarded against over-development, say they are no longer free to make their own decisions.
Warning: Reforms are forcing local officials to approve housing developments they would prefer to reject, councillors warn. Above, Dorrington near Shrewsbury, where an application for 19 homes has been made
The warning came as the National Trust said councils are being 'hustled' by the Government to build on virgin countryside to meet housing targets.
At a planning meeting at Conservative-run Shropshire County Council last week, councillors waved through several applications they called 'horrendous' and even 'dangerous'.
They told residents their hands were tied by government policies.
Voting to approve an application for 19 homes in the village of Dorrington near Shrewsbury, despite concerns about a busy A road, Tory councillor Peter Nutting said: 'We are not in a position to refuse applications like this. I don't like this application – it is awful.
Action: At a planning meeting at Conservative-run Shropshire County Council (pictured) last week, councillors waved through several applications they called 'horrendous' and even 'dangerous' due to government policies
'But if we refuse and the application goes to appeal, they will win that appeal and will win costs against the council.'
Like many councils, Shropshire has had to abandon its local planning policies because it cannot show it has enough land to sustain new housing for the next five years.
Under the National Planning Policy Framework, introduced two years ago, any council unable to do this has to abandon its local policies and judge planning applications according to government guidelines that shift the presumption in favour of development.
Unpopular plan: In February, the district council responsible for the tiny village of Kentford (pictured), Suffolk, had to approve an unpopular plan for 60 homes, citing the Government's presumption in favour of development
Vernon Bushell, chairman Shropshire's planning committee, said: 'The decision is being taken out of our hands – we are having to approve developments that we simply do not want to approve.'
Research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England suggests that 700,000 homes are currently planned for the countryside, 200,000 of them on the green belt.
In February, Cheshire East Council approved plans for a development of 1,100 homes and a business centre on 58 acres of farmland, saying it had been forced to turn away from local policies and look to the national guidelines.
Also in February, the district council responsible for the tiny village of Kentford, Suffolk, had to approve an unpopular plan for 60 homes, citing the Government's presumption in favour of development.
A delegation from Shropshire met planning minister Nick Boles last week to ask him to change the rules.
Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski, who helped set up the meeting, said the National Planning Policy Framework was 'leaving constituents without a voice'.
The Department for Communities and Local Government said: 'Green-belt development is at its lowest rate for over 20 years. We have given councils the power to shape where the new homes our country needs should and shouldn't go.'

"Reading The Mists of Avalon, I was slightly alienated by the cold, unromantic approach Bradley decided on while retelling the legend, swapping out the mysticism of Merlin, The Lady of The Lake and the evil sorceress Morgause and instead implanting them with the magic of neo-pagan theology. Also at cost of Bradley's approach was the sweeping and winsome tales of Arthur and his knights of the round table, and replaced with instead a more political, Machiavellian take on the women of King Arthur. Despite the odd nature the author brings to her retelling, I found this worth the read. The women of King Arthur are certainly empowered, but are not exemplified as better than men in any way. Instead, The Mists of Avalon reads more as a fable on the consequences of power and the accompanying tragedy that comes with keeping it.
The subversion of the classic Arthurian myth is mostly accurate here. Mostly. The anti-christian rhetoric is ever-present, told mostly through the voice of Guinevere, who is negatively portrayed as Arthur's manipulator and the destruction of Avalon's influence in Arthur's court. Despite her being portrayed as a religious fanatic, I would say Bradley portrays her with enough dignity to justify her as more of a victim of her oppressive upbringing. Mordred, who I've come to see as the embodiment of treachery and evil in these Arthurian tales, is ultimately more humanized here but no less presents the story with a conflict that resolves this saga in a satisfying, complete way.
Overall, Bradley writes an engaging tale, full of revelation, foreboding, character introspection and political intrigue. Her ideas of ""what is or what should be"" are at times rather didactic and present ideas that seem to be in favour of her theological underpinnings, as opposed to ideas that can be interpreted by the reader. That being said, I am not completely against most of Bradley's ideas; she does offer a progressive and otherwise more pro-educative view on theology. One that inspires thought and rumination on the power, disillusionment and manipulation of a belief system. Her portrayal of women, particularly the ones who hold influence over the men, is interesting but heavy-handed and not entirely convincing, even in the logic of the Britain that she has created.
Interesting quotes that I didn't include in the review:
Never name the well from which you will not drink.
There is no sorrow like the memory of love and the knowledge that it is gone forever.
What wise God would consign a man to Hell for ignorance, instead of teaching him better in the afterlife?
The Last Passage
He said in a rage, ""I will not accuse you before all men, Igraine, but God is my witness I should be justified in doing so. Uther looked at you just now as a man looks at a woman he has known as no Christian man has a right to know any other man's wife!""
Igraine, feeling her heart pounding in her breast, knew it was true, and felt confusion and despair. In spite of the fact that she had seen Uther only four times, and dreamed twice of him, she knew that they had looked at each other and spoken to each other as if they had been lovers for many years, knowing all and more than all about each other, body and mind and heart. She recalled her dream, where it seemed that they had been bound for many years by a tie which, if it was not marriage, might as well have been so. Lovers, partners, priest to priestess-whatever it was called. How could she tell Gorlois that she had known Uther only in a dream, but that she had begun to think of him as the man she had loved so long ago that Igraine herself was not yet born, was a shadow; that the essence within her was one and the same with that woman who had loved that strange man who bore the serpents on his arms in gold ... .
How could she say this to Gorlois, who knew, and wished to know, nothing of the Mysteries?
He pushed her ahead of him into their lodging. He was ready, she knew, to strike her if she had spoken; but her silence frustrated him even more. He shouted, ""Have you nothing to say to me, my wife?"" and gripped her already bruised arm so strongly that she cried out anew with the pain of his hand.
""Did you think I did not see how you looked at your paramour?""
She wrenched her arm away from him, feeling as if he would actually tear it out of the socket. ""If you saw that, then you saw me turn away from him when he would have had no more than a kiss! And did you not hear him say to me that you were his loyal supporter and he would not take the wife of his friend-""
""If I was ever his friend, I am so no more!"" Gorlois said, his face dark with fury. ""Do you truly think I shall support a man who would take my wife from me, in a public place, shaming me before all his assembled chiefs?""
""He did not!"" Igraine cried out, weeping. ""I have never so much as touched his lips!"" It seemed all the more vicious since she had indeed desired Uther but had kept herself scrupulously away from him. Why, if I am to be accused of guilt when I am innocent of any wrongdoing even as he would call it so, why should I not have done what Uther wished?
""I saw how you looked at him! And you have kept apart from my bed since first you set eyes on Uther, you faithless whore!""
""How do you dare!"" she gasped, raging, and caught up the silver mirror he had given her, flinging it at his head. ""Take back that word, or I swear I will throw myself into the river before ever you touch me again! You lie, and you know you lie!""
Arthurian legend from the female perspective. The protagonist is actually Arthur's sister, the one who also mothered his child that proved to be his nemesis. A mammoth book to an adolescent! I discovered Mists of Avalon during my tenth grade year, when I had learned about Arthurian Legends in English class. My interest in the subject matter was almost quelled by the length of the text--somewhere around 1000 pages. After the very first page, I was hooked! This was my favorite novel of all time during my high school years, igniting an interest in Wicca, mythology, magic, etc. A story as beautiful as the goddess within us all.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is a wonderfully enchanting tale of the Arthurian legends.
The book takes you into another world, and lets you explore the time of Arthur through the eyes of a women.
This book is wonderfully intricate and full of fantasy, intrigue and romance.
This is a very female version of the Arthurian tales. It is largely sympathetic to Morgan la Fey and the culture of the Druids and unsympathetic to Christianity. Magic was used surprisingly successfully throughout the story. This version was successful in making the characters seem more complex and realistic and less focused on the buffets on the head that seem to be ever-present in the Malory version. I also enjoyed the aspects of these tales that are less discussed in other versions, such as the magical boat and the semi-present Avalon. One aspect I didn't fully understand was the fairy land characters occasionally encountered when trying to reach Avalon. Other details of the relationship between Lancelot, Gwen, and Arthur were a surprise but were not inconsistent with reality as presented in this version. Overall this is an interesting addition to the Arthurian legends.
One of my all time favourite books! A must read for anyone who enjoys Arthurian legend. I don't believe the popularly held theory that it's a "woman's book.
In ''The Mists of Avalon,'' Marion Zimmer Bradley's monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends, the story begins differently, in the slow stages of female desire and of moral, even mythic, choice. Stepping into this world through the Avalon mists, we see the saga from an entirely untraditional perspective: not Arthur's, not Lancelot's, not Merlin's. We see the creation of Camelot from the vantage point of its principal women - Viviane, Gwynyfar, Morgaine and Igraine. This, the untold Arthurian story, is no less tragic, but it has gained a mythic coherence; reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345350499, Paperback)Even readers who don't normally enjoy Arthurian legends will love this version, a retelling from the point of view of the women behind the throne. Morgaine (more commonly known as Morgan Le Fay) and Gwenhwyfar (a Welsh spelling of Guinevere) struggle for power, using Arthur as a way to score points and promote their respective worldviews. The Mists of Avalon's Camelot politics and intrigue take place at a time when Christianity is taking over the island-nation of Britain; Christianity vs. Faery, and God vs. Goddess are dominant themes.
Young and old alike will enjoy this magical Arthurian reinvention by science fiction and fantasy veteran Marion Zimmer Bradley. --Bonnie Bouman
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:25:33 -0400)
When Morgan le Fay (Morgaine) has to sacrifice her virginity during fertility rites, the man who impregnates her is her younger brother Arthur, whom she turns against when she thinks he has betrayed the old religion of Avalon.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 08/823,507, filed Mar. 24, 1997 and entitled TWO-WAY REMOTE CONTROL WITH ADVERTISING DISPLAY, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a non-telephonic information presentation device or annunciator display device which is always on and which can wirelessly receive information to be displayed. Electronic information coming into the home can be displayed on a TV, or in some cases, a PC. When these devices are turned off, no information is displayed. However, the source of information is often still present, in the form of broadcast signals or cable TV signals which can be picked up by the annunciator of the present invention.
2. Description of the Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR §§1.97-1.99
Heretofore, various systems have been proposed for the remote display of information, such as the display of prices on the edge of a shelf in a supermarket or information on the screen of a television set.

A remote control device is provided for communication with the AV transceiver to interactively manage selection of program and service sources. The remote control device sends and receives wireless (IR) control signals to and from an IR control unit and the audio-visual transceiver.
The Minimetrics Limited PCT Patent Publication No. WO 94/15417 discloses a combined remote control and data logging unit for use as a market research tool and includes a transceiver comprising an infrared input and an infrared output.
Also, devices for releasably mounting an article to a planar surface, such as a wall, have been proposed. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,287,676 to Weinhaus.
According to the present invention there is provided a low-cost annunciator display device, or simply annunciator, capable of wirelessly (via IR or RF) receiving information to be displayed. The advantage is that, in contrast to a television or a PC, the display on the annunciator can always be on. The annunciator can act as a billboard, touting pay-per-view events, products, services, coupon offers or any other advertising, as well as carrying information such as sports, news, finance, traffic, TV guide, gaming, shopping, and features. With the added ability to wirelessly send information to a host device, interactive or transactional applications are possible.
The advertising message on the annunciator is an information payload, in the sense that an advertiser can be charged for time on the annunciator's screen.
When the annunciator is used in conjunction with interactive applications running on a settop box, the TV itself, or a computer, it is important that the interactive advertising offers appear during commercial program breaks and not extend into the program proper. In this case, the annunciator can extend the time available to the user to respond to interactive offers by "trailing" the offer to the annunciator's screen after the interactive ad has disappeared from the TV (or PC) screen and regular programming has resumed.
Many systems which deliver information are two-way, meaning that information originating from the user can be read by or delivered to a central "head end." Such systems can allow transactions by the user, such as responses to advertising offers, merely by pressing a button on the annunciator, thus bypassing the TV or PC as a display device.
In the case where the delivery medium for advertising to the annunciator is not two-way, "bypass" structure can be provided for return signals to a central computer. For instance, a low-cost radio transmitter in the annunciator can send data to an autodialer modem connected to the telephone line. User responses to advertising offers can then be sent by telephone to a central computer.
Cable, satellite, or broadcast TV are the normal means for transporting information to the annunciator, using receiving circuitry in the settop box or the TV itself, along with an IR or RF wireless link to the annunciator. However, bypass of the cable, satellite, or broadcast TV downstream link to the annunciator is also possible, using a paging network, FM SCA data on a radio station, a modem with a wireless link to the annunciator, or a wireless link to a computer which is in turn connected to a remote network such as the Internet.
The fact that the display on the annunciator can always be active and readable, whether or not the TV or PC are turned on, is an important extension of the exposure of the user to advertising offers.
To accommodate the narrow bandwidth usually available on the wireless link between the sending device and the annunciator, images can be compressed before being sent to the annunciator. Either the bitmapped images can be compressed using any one of several well-known compression algorithms, such as JPEG, or drawing commands can be sent to a GDI (graphics device interface) running in the annunciator.
By allowing the annunciator to receive executable code as well as static images, the annunciator can display animated graphics, run interactive sessions with the user, or upgrade its own software to enhance its usefulness.
Thus, according to the present invention there is provided an annunciator including a visual display, wireless receiving circuitry for receiving, from a host device, data including selected information to be displayed, and software and/or hardware for maintaining the selected information displayed on the visual display of the annunciator.

FIG. 9 is a plan view of a display on the visual display of television programming for a one half hour period.
Referring now to FIG. 1 in greater detail, there is illustrated therein an annunciator 10 constructed according to the teachings of the present invention. The annunciator 10 includes, on a top panel 12 thereof, an LCD visual display 14, and a keyboard 15 comprising a CH (channel) key 16, an ARROW UP key 18, an ARROW DN key 20, and an OK/SEND key 22.
It is to be noted that more or fewer buttons or keys can be provided on the keyboard 15. However, experience has shown that the fewer buttons or keys the better, making the annunciator 10 simpler to operate. One key that could be added is an ON/OFF key.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view through a housing 24 of the annunciator 10 shown in FIG. 1 and shows that the annunciator housing 24 includes an open area for receiving a circuit board 26 and a flat battery 28. The visual display screen 14 can be touch sensitive, if desired, and is connected as shown to the circuit board 26.
Although a generally rectangular housing 24 is shown in FIG. 1, it is to be understood that the annunciator can have any shape desired, such as, for example, a circular shape so that the annunciator can look like and serve as a beverage coaster.
An important feature of the annunciator of the present invention is the provision of mounting structure 29 on the back or underside of the housing 24. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting structure is a magnet, much like a "refrigerator magnet".
It will be understood, however that other mounting structures 29 can be used, such as:
a suction cup for attaching the annunciator 10 to an impervious surface;
an adhesive for attaching the annunciator 10 to a surface; hook and loop material of the type sold under the trademark VELCRO fixed to a surface of the annunciator 10 and mating hook and loop material fixed to a surface on which the annunciator 10 is to be mounted;
a pin for attaching the annunciator 10 to a suitable material such as clothing; and,
a chain, a string, a ribbon, a cord or other flexible structure for attaching or hanging the annunciator 10 to or from another object or a person.
The annunciator 10 can have, alternatively, other structure for supporting the annunciator 10 on a generally horizontal surface with the visual display 14 facing laterally, much like a picture in a stand up picture frame, eg a fold out structure.
Referring now to FIG. 3, circuitry 30 for the annunciator 10 that is mounted on the circuit board 26 in the housing 24 includes a microprocessor 32 connected to the keyboard 15, to an IR receiver 34 and, if desired, to an IR transmitter 35 and/or to an RF receiver 36 and, if desired, to an RF transmitter 37. The battery 28 is connected to a power conditioning circuit 38 coupled to the various components needing power. A ROM/RAM 40 is coupled to a bus 42 connected to the microprocessor 32.
If desired, an EEPROM 44 also can be coupled to the microprocessor 32. An LCD driver circuit 46 is coupled between the bus 42 and the LCD visual display 14.
If desired, a sound synthesizing chip 48 can be coupled to the microprocessor 32 and to a speaker 50.
Another modification is to provide a card reader device 52 coupled to the microprocessor for reading a credit card and/or smart card.
Further, if desired, a motion detect circuit 54 can be coupled to the microprocessor 32, as shown.
In the operation of the annunciator 10, a signal is received either by the IR receiver 34 or the RF receiver 36 and such signal contains selected information, typically including an advertisement. This advertisement is placed on the visual display 14 by the software and hardware in the annunciator 10 and is maintained on the display 14 unless a user of the annunciator 10 presses a key to obtain a display of other information or to send information.
Referring now to FIG. 4, which is a flow chart of the basic operating routine for the annunciator 10, it will be noted that, once a key is depressed, a determination is made if it is an ARROW UP key 18, in which case the program in the ROM/RAM 40 or EEPROM 44 goes to subroutine A shown in FIG. 5. If the key was the ARROW DN key 20, then the program goes to subroutine B, which is the other end of the routine shown in FIG. 5.
If the key was the OK key 22, then the program goes to subroutine C shown in FIG. 6.
If the key pressed was the CH (channel) key, then the program goes to subroutine D shown in FIG. 7.
Finally, if two keys are pressed simultaneously, the OK key 22 and the CH key 16, then the program goes to subroutine E shown in FIG. 8.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the ARROW UP key 18, or the ARROW DN key 20 is pressed, the annunciator 10 will cycle through a series of different information displays. This cycling can be automatic or can be caused by repeated key presses of the ARROW UP key 18 or the ARROW DN key 20.
Typically, as shown, the first press of the ARROW UP key 18 will cause a display of the date and time. Then, the next display will be of weather and temperature. The succeeding display is of traffic conditions. Next, a financial report is displayed, followed by a sports score report and finally a TV programming display for a particular channel or time period as shown in FIG. 9. Of course, other information, such as a game, can be displayed on the visual display 14.
If the OK key 22 is pressed, then the program goes into subroutine C shown in FIG. 6. Assuming that an identifying code is present or has been programmed into the annunciator 10, such code is now transmitted. The code can be a telephone number or a credit card number.
As shown in FIG. 6, pressing of the OK key 22 causes the annunciator 10 to transmit two signals containing certain information, namely the advertisement on the visual display 14 and the identifying code of the user. After these two signals are sent, there is a time out period of a few seconds to few minutes, after which the program returns the advertisement to the visual display 14.
If the CH key 16 is pressed after a user has gone to the TV programming position in the subroutine shown in FIG. 5, a channel number will first appear on the display., Then, if the user wishes to change the channel number, he or she will press the ARROW UP key 18 or the ARROW DN key 20 reach channel X+N or X−N. Once the desired channel is reached, the channel number will appear on the display for a time out period of a few seconds to a few minutes and then will return to a display of the advertisement.
Alternatively, the annunciator 10 can be programmed to display the programming on a number or all the channels over a short time period, e.g., one half hour, as shown in FIG. 9. Here, the annunciator 10 will scroll through the programming for the next one half hour period.
If the annunciator 10 does not come programmed with an identifying code, such as a telephone number or a credit card number, and the annunciator 10 is configured to transmit a telephone number as an identifying number for the purchaser, the program will go to subroutine E shown in FIG. 8. Then, when the CH key 16 and the OK key 22 are pressed at the same time, a message will appear on the visual display 14 explaining how to enter the user's telephone number. In this respect, a message will be displayed saying:
"To enter your 10 digit tel. no. first press CH key. Then press ARROW UP key or ARROW DN key. Next press the OK key. Repeat the above steps for each no. until all 10 numbers are entered."
After all 10 numbers are entered, they are stored in the RAM/ROM 40 of the circuit 30, shown in FIG. 2. Next, after a time out period of a few seconds to a few minutes, the display screen 14 will return to the display of the advertisement.
According to the teachings of the present invention, the annunciator 10 is programmed so that an advertisement is displayed on the screen 14 when the annunciator 10 is not being used or is otherwise in a quiescent state.
It is to be understood that an important feature of the present invention is the "restore screen after timeout sequence" which is shown at the end of each of the subroutines in FIGS. 5-8.
If the batteries are low, a subroutine can be provided to cause the annunciator to go through a "low battery sequence" which "pops up" a low battery message for three seconds.
The annunciator 10 can be constructed, arranged and programmed to have or provide a number of features. For example, the software can maintain a display of selected information on the visual display even when the annunciator 10 is in a quiescent state or turned off.
It will be understood that the host device with which the annunciator 10 communicates, either by IR (34, 35) or by RF (36, 37) to receive or transmit information, can be a cable decoder box, a satellite decoder box, a telephone company decoder box, a television set, a computer, or a modem.
The wireless RF transmitting circuitry 36 and receiving circuitry 37 can be constructed and arranged to receive RF data from a long range transmitting device such as a paging network, a FM/SCA, a cellular phone, digital communication systems such as PCS, PDM, CDM or other RF transmitting device.
If desired, the annunciator 10 can be constructed and arranged to exchange information with a modem, such as a wired modem or a wireless modem and the intelligence for operating the modem can be in the annunciator 10. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,537,463 to Escobosa and Darbee.
The memory, RAM/ROM 40, of the annunciator 10 can include a buffer memory capable of storing information for being displayed under command from a realtime clock in the annunciator 10 and the annunciator 10 can include software and or hardware for querying the host device for date/time information.
The visual display 14 can be bistable, thereby requiring no refresh buffer and requiring no power to maintain an image on the visual display 14.
The information received from the host device can be in compressed form, can be in the form of drawing commands, such that the software includes instructions for executing the drawing commands by drawing an image on the visual display 14 and/or can be a subset of an electronic program guide for display on the visual display 14 of the annunciator 10.
The software for detecting a low-battery condition can include instructions for displaying an advertisement to replace the batteries with a specific brand of battery.
If desired, back-lighting can be provide for illuminating the visual display 14. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,568,367 to Park.
Also, if desired, the annunciator 10 can include circuitry 48, 50 for producing sound.
Further, the annunciator 10 can include a reader 52 and associated circuitry for reading the magnetic stripe on a credit card or for reading or interfacing with a smart card containing a computer chip. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,603,078 to Henderson et al. or U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,689 to Bueno.
The motion detect circuit 54 can be used to place the annunciator 10 in a given state when it is picked up by a user.
The operating software for the annunciator 10 can be programmed to cycle a buffer memory in the ROM/RAM 40 to display on the visual display 14 multiple categories of information.
The IR or optical receiving circuit 34 can be constructed to receive light signals from a TV screen (VEIL technology) or other form of flashing from the TV screen using visible light (TIMEX technology).
The annunciator 10 can including pointing device circuitry for moving a cursor on the visual display 14 or a host display. See U.S. Ser. No. 08/605,546 for: SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS POINTER CONTROL.
The visual display 14 can include a touch-sensitive display screen or touch sensitive pads/keys on the annunciator 10. See Goldstein U.S. Pat. No. 5,410,326.
An important feature of the annunciator 10 disclosed herein is its ability to keep an advertisement on the display 10 and in front of a user. An ancillary feature is the ability of the annunciator 10 not only to display the advertisement, but also to have an input, such as certain keys on the keyboard for enabling a user to respond to a displayed advertising offer via the wireless, IR or Rf communications link using the certain keys as described above and set forth in FIG. 6.
The received, and perhaps displayed, information can comprise: advertising formatted the same way as a banner on a page on the world wide web; a "trailer" from an advertisement appearing on a host device, thus giving the user more time to respond to an offer in the advertisement; games which can be played on the annunciator 10; codes for upgrading the annunciator 10; instructions for setting up the annunciator 10; a user guide and/or context-sensitive help for display on the visual display 14 of the annunciator 10; and, executable code to be run on the annunciator 10.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the annunciator 10 with advertising display of the present invention has a number of advantages, some of which have been described above and others of which are inherent in the invention. Also it will be understood that modifications can be made to the annunciator described above without departing from the teachings of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is only to be limited as necessitated by the accompanying claims.
