METHOD OF VERIFYING SIGNATURES AND FORMS CARRIER FOR USE THEREON BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention has utility in any business where it is necessary to quickly verify data such as, signatures or photographs and thus has particular utility in banking. Broadly it has utility wherever there is an inflow of data which must be stored on microfilm, and which can be stored in random fashion as it is received.
2. Prior Art A number of patents are directed to forms alignment devices that are useful in microfilming. US. Pat. No. 3 ,220,30l Koonz et al. discloses a coding and photographic device comprising a plurality of characters and coding members, and a rigid member having elongated slots extending across the surface. US. Pat. No. 3,212,395 Bailey discloses a device for coding microfilm which comprises a table with pivotally mounted marker plates that can be positioned when desired by automatic means. US. Pat. No. 2,841,066 Tod discloses a card mounting structure for use in photographing the cards. Rails and runway channels are secured on a metal backing to receive card carriers. In all of the above patents, the devices are unduly complex and at the same time do not achieve a better result than the subject invention which is much less complex. Further, none of these patents disclose a process of first copying the subject matter by xeroxing or similar means so that a manageable, useful, cataloged record will be available for use and subsequent microfilming, nor do they disclose a forms carrier that has utility for this purpose.
While fully automatic analog methods of verifying signatures have been proposed, for many banks and institutions, the cost of employing a system that uses one of these methods is prohibitive.
Recently, voice answer-back computer systems have been used increasingly by banks. In using such a system, a teller keys the customers account number and the cash amount of the transaction into a telephone hand set. This is transmitted to the central computer where the amount is debited from the customers balance. If the balance is sufficient a voice answer is automatically sent to the teller indicating that the transactions can be completed. This type of system, however, lacks a means to confirm the identity of the customer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system of verifying the identity of individuals by their signatures and photographs without resorting to expensive analog techniques and which is made possible by a relatively simple forms alignment carrier.
' Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a relatively inexpensive, fast signature/photographic verification system.
It is a related object of the invention to provide a forms carrier that is practical for use in such a signature/photographic verification system.
It is another object of the invention to provide a signature/photographic verification technique which is particularly adaptable to and suitable for use with a voice answer-back banking computer system.
It is another object of the invention to provide signature and photographic verification in which incoming data may be recorded quickly by personnel not trained to operate complex devices.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a signature photographic verification system which is easy to update, and which may be done in random fashion.
It is still further object of the invention to provide a signature/photographic verification system that may be used in branch banking where it is necessary for bank personnel at remote locations to determine the validity of a particular customers signature without resorting to voluminous records.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, the forms carrier 10 comprises a transparent holder 12 for signature cards 14 which has eight individual slotted sections 16 into which signature cards 14 are placed. The signature cards 14 are shown without photographs, but it is to be understood that they may include photographs and be arranged in any suitable format. Along the left edge of the carrier 10, there are numerous pockets 18 to hold bars 20 that are suitable for bar coding. FIG. 3 shows the manner in which pocket 18 may be fused to the backing 22 by the fused portion 24. On the right edge of the carrier 10, there are slots 26 for inserting numerical decals. These decals give the cartridge number 28 for the microfilm cartridge, the side number 30, if a two-sided microfilm or microfiche system is used, and the page number 32. The carrier 10 may be manufactured by heat fusion techniques or any other suitable means.
In the case of signature cards 14 without photographs as the signature cards 14 are received, they are placed into the forms carrier 10 randomly and xeroxed. The xerox copies of each page provide up to date recordation of the signature cards. The signature cards are microfilmed or put on microfiche cards when a sufficient number of cards accummulate. Any standard microfilming technique may be used.
When utilizing the system for both signature verification and photographic verification, it will be necessary to photograph the forms alignment carrier directly onto microfilm, since a xerox copy will not give a useable reproduction of the photograph. However, the forms alignment carrier may still be used to make paper copies for immediate distribution until the photographic copies can be developed and reproduced to be distributed in microfilm form.
Referring to FIG. 2, a reader screen 40 is illustrated that can be used on many standard types of microfilm reading units. This shows one example of a display which is presented to the teller. The bars 42 and numbers 44 on the left-hand side are for use when the bar coding technique is used. The numbers 46 on the righthand side indicate the precise row in which a particular card is located. The letters 48 at the bottom of the screen indicate the column in which the card may be found.
Referring to FIG. 4, the diagrammatic sketch illustrates the system at one tellers location and its connection to voice answer-back computer. When a patron opens a bank account, he signs a signature card which is then put in the forms carrier with other signature cards and xeroxed as explained above. The exact location of the card is then stored in a computer under the bank patrons account number.
For example, if 24 microfilm cartridges are filled, the next series of cards will be recorded in cartridge No. 25 and the pages will bear that number as they are xeroxed on the forms carrier. The page number and the side number, if required, are also recorded on the pages by inserting the correct decals in the right-side pockets of the forms carrier.
When a patron later attempts to withdraw money from his account, the teller keys into the computer the account number and the amount of the deduction that the patron wishes to make. This may be done by a touch-tone telephone in which the teller gives her identifying number, the patrons account number and the amount to be deducted. The computer then deducts this amount from the account if the patron has sufficient funds and indicates by voice message that the transaction can be completed. This message also gives the teller the address of the signature card.
At this point, note the ease of adapting the present signature verification system to the voice-answer back computer system. It is only necessary to store a signature address with the patrons account number and balance. Furthermore, note the ease with which the signature card is updated. When the customer changes the card, (he may wish to add or delete authorized signatures) it is only necessary to change the signature card address stored with his account number.
This signature card address is transmitted to the teller in the voice message. A microfilm reader and the cartridges are located conveniently for the tellers use. She selects the proper cartridge, inserts it into the reader, and runs it at high speed until the approximate location of the page specified by the signature card address is reached. This is ascertained by a comparison of the bar coding on the microfilm with the coding lines and numbers on the reader. Any standard bar coding technique may be used, or for that matter, any type of coding technique, and the technique disclosed is, therefore, not to be considered limiting. lf page number 0985 is desired, the teller will stop the reader when one line reaches 900 and a second line reaches 80 on the scale. She will then manually operate the reader at slow speed until page 0985 is reached. Once the correct page is reached, by means of the row and column designation on the microfilm reader, she can quickly find the applicable signature card and compare the signature on it with the signature on the withdrawal slip to verify that the customer is the bona fide account holder.
For example, the computer will read out a number such as 25-1-0984-48 in the voice message. The desired signature card will be in cartridge 25, side 1,
page 985 and will be in row 4, column B as observed in the microfilm reader.
If the patron has recently opened his account, and the page bearing his signature card has not yet been microfilmed, the page will be stored in looseleaf fashion at the tellers disposal. Instead of selecting the applicable microfilm cartridge, the teller merely leafs through the pages until she comes to the correct one.
While the bar coding method has been described for approximately locating the page bearing the signature card, a microfilm reader which operates with an odometer may also be used. If the odometer reads in feet and tenths of feet, the number of images per tenths of foot can be easily computed and a scale devised for approximately determining the location on a particular reel of the desired page, for the microfilming, either an 8 millimeter duo-method of filming or a 16 millimeter single image method may be used. An odometer-type system may be used in either case. One suitable three digit odometer-type microfilm reader is marketed by the 3M Company.
Up to now, microfilming techniques have been discussed. Microfiche cards may also be used with a special microfiche scale mounted on the reader. This can be done by successively numbering blocks in rows across the reader continuing with the same in succeeding rows, until the entire number of frames contained on a given microfiche has been numbered on the scale. An edge coding system that practically eliminates any misfiles and provides rapid retrieval of any given card is used. Square notations on the upper left hand side of the card represent the hundredths field. Ten different colors are utilized which make any improperly filed card immediately obvious. On the upper right hand portion of the cards, the tenths fields are notched to facilitate finding a given card as well as locating a misfiled card. The angled upper left hand comer of the card also gives us an easily recognizable method of identifying the thousandths field. Should completely random access to the microfiche cards be desired, Randomatic Data Systems, Inc., Trenton, NJ. markets a retrieval unit which is particularly suitable for this use in the present system.
As can readily be seen such a system has particular value in branch banking where patrons may use any one of a number of banking facilities. While data verification such as amount in account may be verified telephonically, signatures can only be matched visually, unless expensive computerized analog techniques are used. This means that in the case of large banks, tellers must have ready access to millions of signature cards. The present invention as disclosed above gives them this capability and it should be understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
1 claim:
1. The new use for conducting a banking transaction of apparatus including:
a voice answer back system having a digital computer at a central location,

Cleveland Browns news, rumors and injuries
Browns | Corey Coleman making plays
Sat, 30 Jul 2016 20:34:25 -0700
Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman has been "stacking good days together" at practice, head coach Hue Jackson said Saturday, July 30, and Coleman has consistently been finding openings in the defense in 11-on-11 drills.
Fantasy Tip: Coleman should open the year as Cleveland's No. 1 receiver, and even when Josh Gordon returns, Coleman should have a big role. His upside is limited by Cleveland's quarterback situation, but he could be a nice add in the middle rounds.

Browns | Cleveland wants to run the ball
Sat, 30 Jul 2016 11:04:22 -0700
Cleveland Browns RB Duke Johnson said head coach Hue Jackson has made it clear that the Browns will run the ball and that he wants to establish a physical mentality.
Fantasy Tip: Isaiah Crowell will benefit more in the run game, but Johnson should see more carries, too, if the Browns run more. Johnson is better suited for PPR leagues, though, in which case he should be selected as an RB2, while Crowell is an RB3 consideration in standard formats.

Browns | Robert Griffin works with starters
Fri, 29 Jul 2016 15:31:12 -0700
Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III received all of the snaps with the first-team offense during practice Friday, July 29. QB Josh McCown worked with the second-team offense during practice.
Fantasy Tip: Griffin appears to the clear favorite to win the starting quarterback job. He will not have a lot of weapons to work with in the passing game this season and should be seen as a low-end No. 2 quarterback in most leagues.

Browns | Cleveland will name starting QB soon
Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:29:21 -0700
Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said the team will name their starting quarterback before their first preseason game.
Fantasy Tip: Robert Griffin III probably is the leading candidate, but Josh McCown and Cody Kessler are still options for the job. The winner of the quarterback job will be helped with the return of Josh Gordon but should not be seen as more than a low-end No. 2 quarterback in deeper leagues.

Browns | RG3 not being handed starting job
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:46:36 -0700
Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III won't be handed the starting job, although all signs point to him winning the gig. "No, it's still a ways away in my mind, but I feel good about where we are and I feel good about the process that we've been in for those guys," head coach Hue Jackson said. Griffin is trying to beat out veteran QB Josh McCown, as well as journeyman QB Austin Davis and rookie QB Cody Kessler.
Fantasy Tip: Griffin is 5-15 over his past 20 starts, and he has had difficulty staying healthy over his career. Even if he can win the starting job he is nothing more than a Top 25 fantasy option at his position in most formats.

Browns | Josh McCown was steady in spring
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:45:24 -0700
Cleveland Browns QB Josh McCown looked more ready in spring practices than QB Robert Griffin III, and he knows the offensive line well while having a rapport and timing down with some of the receivers. McCown posted a 93.3 quarterback rating in 2015, 14th in the NFL. However, the team isn't expected to build around a quarterback who is 37. He might be kept around as an insurance policy in case QB Cody Kessler isn't ready.
Fantasy Tip: McCown's outlook is up in the air, as RG3 is expected to start, although nothing is written in stone. Unless he is able to win the starting job, avoid him in all fantasy leagues. Even then he would only be worth a look as a No. 2 or 3 fantasy option in most leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Davis isn't likely to be anything more than the team's third-string quarterback if he sticks around.

Cleveland Browns TE Gary Barnidge (hernia) could be limited for the start of training camp after undergoing hernia surgery in June. He did pass his physical, however.
Fantasy Tip: Even if Barnidge does miss some time during training camp, he should be good to go for the regular season. Barnidge is coming off a breakout season in which he managed more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns. Continue to view him as a TE1.

Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon (quadriceps) will begin training camp on the Non-Football Injury list. He is working out on his own and is expected to miss a couple of weeks.
Fantasy Tip: Gordon has plenty of time to recover and get back into the swings of things, especially considering his four-game suspension. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks with the quad injury, the safe bet will be to look at him in the WR3 range.

Browns | Josh Gordon being reinstated
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 11:03:30 -0700
Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon is being reinstated by the NFL conditionally, according to a source. He will be suspended for the first four games of the season.
Fantasy Tip: Gordon is an elite fantasy receiver when he's on the field. The problem is he's played in only 19 games since 2013 and was suspended all of 2015. He did total 1,646 yards on 87 catches in '13, though, so he certainly has high-end potential. However, don't overvalue Gordon, since he hasn't played in forever and will be in a new system with a new QB. Take him for upside as a WR3.

- Improved CSGODoubleFirst is that you will be eligible for two contracts per week. They're all skill-based challenges, like survive 1000 damage as a Heavy in a single life, or score a kill with a reflected projectile as a Pyro. Complete a contract, and you'll earn yourself either a campaign exclusive weapon, or a weapons crate.every weapon is unique. They all have randomised paint jobs and different levels of wear to denote them from others. There's also six grades of rarity to further set them apart. And even if you don't like your loot, you can always sell it on the marketplace or trade it to a friend.It's the PC shooter fans who are (predictably) the most skeptical about the controller's ability to provide a good enough experience. Watching both Portal and Counter-Strike, many gamers noted that large view swings like a 180-degree turn could only be achieved with multiple swipes of the thumb. Though Valve will unquestionably allow players to adjust the sensitivity of the pads, one wonders why the controller's first video wouldn't show such precision if it were possible. Could the pad be too small to allow accurate aiming over a full 360 degrees in just a single swipe of the thumb? To some, that question is all-important in deciding whether this could ever potentially threaten the mouse for PC shooters.The controller is still a long way out from release, however, and the fine-tuning that will define its last few months of development will surely change its functionality quite a bit. Particularly, pointer acceleration could play a prominent role in taming twitchy FPS games — that is, changing the sensitivity depending on the speed and size of the swipe. This would allow both large and minute adjustments, but it does take some getting used to. And if there's one thing PC shooter fans don't want to do, it's adjust to anything different."As a one-time customer service gesture, I have reversed the actions that were committed while your account was compromised," the email sent to Souvlis from Valve reads. "Any Community Market listings that you had listed were also removed and returned to your inventory. We will not restore stolen items again."
In this article we'll compare and contrast eSports betting and traditional sports betting, and hopefully convince the gambling industry to invest heavily in eSportsIn eSports there are very few websites that bring together social gambling and eSports gambling. The social element may rest on players playing directly with or against other people in a virtual environment. In games such as CSGO, players love to talk about how good they are and how they're better than you. What would be a good idea in eSports—and something that I think would be very successful—is a website where people bet in game items that are worth money (such as skins in CSGO) or actual money on them winning. I believe there's one website that is doing this already, but it uses bitcoin instead of actual money or skins. To make this successful would be to use in-game items such as skins as the currency for betting, everyone has some skins, the game drops them randomly at the end of every game you play. Like roulette sites, you will take a small commission from each transaction. This makes the idea accessible to a wider audience, and if you get in there now and invest some money into marketing the idea, I think you're on to a winner.
There were plenty of other really interesting lessons to be found from the marketplace too, such as how the history of a Counter Strike weapon can play a big part in the price it sells at.The P250 pistol, for example, is used way more than the deagle in CS:GO -- yet, because it was such an important weapon in previous Counter-Strike games, deagles on average sell for far higher than P250s on the marketplace.With it's Steam release hitting just recently, Clannad really got it's fifteen minutes of fame. With all of the purchases, the visual novel found itself in the Top Sellers list on Steam, beating out Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Grand Theft Auto V, though it failed to pass CS:GO and Fallout 4.CS: GO remains one of the top games in the world, and it all began with what seemed to be a minor addition. This just goes to show that sometimes the most complex problems have the most simple solutions.Moreover, this is a reminder that users should not immediately trust third-party tools, especially if these are rolled out by third-party distributors or marketplaces, appear too-good-to-be-true and are free of charge.
"Let's say we get CS:GO keys for Rs. 100 from traders on Reddit, and we also buy CS:GO gun skins from Reddit for around 80 percent of the market price," he divulged. "What happens next is we sell these keys on Steam's Community Marketplace for Rs. 160 each. After Steam deducts its fees of Rs. 24 (15 percent of the transaction), we get Rs. 136. Essentially, we can get Rs. 136 of Steam wallet funds for Rs. 100." The CS GO keys and guns are both in-game items that are highly sought after. In fact, some feel that a part of the reason for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's ongoing popularity is the ability to customise your guns with different cosmetic skins. As you play you'll end up obtaining a few and you can use keys to unlock more. The rarer the skin, the more sought after it is by the game's rabid community.Somewhat surprisingly, the move has seemingly been made without any actual proof of match-fixing, and Yong has said he doesn't actually believe any wrongdoing took place. "But when there is overwhelming public opinion to the opposite there is no choice but to cease all negotiations," the statement says. "The organization wishes the team good luck in their future endeavors and with their quest to make the majors."The decision to halt contract negotiations over unproved allegations may have been driven by the recent permabanning of 21 CS:GO players who were caught up in a match-fixing scandal in early 2015. Valve initially announced that those suspensions were "indefinite" and would be reviewed at the start of 2016, but instead of lifting them it dropped the hammer on all involved with permanent bans. In light of that unequivocal stance, 24/7 Esports may well have decided that distancing itself from even the appearance of impropriety was the only move it had.Valve recently made itself abundantly clear in matters of Counter-Strike match fixing: if you're involved in a thrown match, you're banned from Valve-sponsored events for life. One team claims they were asked by their owner to do it anyway. So they quit.Do the guns fire the same? Do teamies still choose to blind you via many a poorly thrown flashbang? The latter holds true, but as for the core game mechanics, I'm afraid that I am not pro enough to truly know if spray patterns, recoil, etc really differ to that of Source. I can tell you that the old weapons all feel similar to the way they did in CSS, but their sounds, look and animation have changed. Rifle selection has remained the same, but a couple of new weapons have been thrown into the mix.The only problem that comes to mind is that some of the really amazing professional players choose to play on these casual servers too. Sure, I'm used to it because I played CSS for years and I know some players can pull off the unimaginable. However, I can only imagine the feeling of rage a new player experiences when he has died a hundred times before he has even seen his enemy. "Let me just walk through this door…" *DIES* "Alright that sucked I think I'll go this way…" DIES "OMG maybe I'm using the wrong weapon! I'll just buy this…" DIES

Fashion is a industry where things are often taken to their logical extremes. While some women are likely still paying off their orthopedic bills from the enormous bag trend of the late 2000s, things have now swung back firmly in the other direction; brands of all types are now making bags that are small enough to be considered decorative accessories for other bags.
A new season always brings with it lots of new choices, but Fall 2014 feels particularly full of brand-spanking-new handbag options from some of the biggest accessories labels in the world. Now that all the dust has settled and these designs have arrived in stores, we combed through the collections to find those that are most worthy of your new handbag dollars.
Fall is upon us, and we love covering the seasonal trends as we see them arise. Amanda already shared 20 burgundy bags to start your fall wardrobe, and today I'm revisiting the subject.
Burgundy bags can be found in almost every designer's handbag selection for fall, and it doesn't take much wondering to figure out why.
Burgundy may be the perfect fall color; it's rich, versatile and basically a neutral, but it's not quite as obvious a choice as an actual neutral. Black, grey, tan, navy–burgundy looks flawless with all of them, and depending on the undertones of the particular shade, it can read as anything from a particularly warm brown to just a shade off aubergine.
Mini bags have been making waves in the handbag world for a while now, and I hope you love the trend, because it's not going anywhere anytime soon. After the short-lived trend for massive, overly heavy, totally unwieldy oversized bags, the trend pendulum swung toward minis, and all of our arms and shoulders rejoiced.

May 2014 - $10.00
This is not a campground in the traditional sense, but rather it is a city park that has four parking spaces with services for RV's. Two of these spaces have concrete pads and two have just grass parking. There are also sites for tent camping, but I couldn't tell exactly where these are. This campground is no longer free, but it's close. The charge is now (May 2014) an almost nominal $10 per night. You must register and pay at the police department, which is less than a mile from the park. The address of the PD is 127 Court Street, but directions are not given. The phone number is also not given, but it is (269) 692-6111. I advise that you park your RV first and then drive or walk to the PD; parking at the police station with a big rig would be difficult. If you visit the park's web site, be aware that it covers all of Otsego, MI, parks, not just Brookside Park. You may camp here for only three days in a row, and may do this only two times per calendar year. I assume that these restrictions are to prevent full-time camping, but three days is still not very long. If no one is waiting for a space, or if there are two or three open spaces you may be allowed to stay longer than the three day maximum, but only under some circumstances. You must ask at the police department for permission. I didn't see anything that indicates that camping is limited to certain months of the year. I am pretty sure it's open year-round. I was told that they do not take reservations, but you can double check by calling ahead. Alcohol is not allowed in the park, but I doubt that they will search your RV. I wouldn't drink any alcohol outside of the coach. (This is merely a suggestion and does NOT constitute legal advice.) The park is directly off of State Highway 89, which is also Allegan Street, but is set down a slight hill so that when you are in the park you don't even know there's a street nearby. There is almost no traffic on the park's single interior road. The park closes at 10:00 p.m., but the road is not physically blocked so you can still get in and out. So can everyone else, of course. The police receptionist told me that the police cruise through the park once or twice per night. One just went by at 9:55 p.m. checking the area with a searchlight. It's nice to know they are here. The park is not listed by name on Google maps and could be difficult to find. If you search for it by name you will find a location that's miles away in Indiana. The GPS coordinates for the campsites are: N42o 27' 19", W085o 41' 02". If you copy the following coordinate string into a Google Maps search window (https://maps.google.com/) the green arrow will point directly to the campsites. The satellite view shows the park well. N 42 27' 19 W 085 41' 02 The park has 30 amp and 20 amp electrical service to each of the four sites and one freeze-proof water spigot for each two sites. If you are sharing a water faucet, one of you must have a two-way splitter. If not, there's a Wal-mart just down the road. Each RV site has its own picnic table, and three sites have a small concrete pad for them. Each site has a steel grill mounted on a post. Campfires are not allowed. Two of the RV sites have a 10' x 30' concrete pad. The other two have only grass, but the soil appears solid, even after several days of rain. There are enough trees to make you feel like you're in a park, but only one that will block satellite reception from one of the RV sites. There are no real restroom facilities, although while we were here there were one or two porta-potties in the park. There is no dump station for either black or gray water. There is no Internet service of any kind, but cell phone reception is good if you use that for your Internet. Dogs are allowed only on leash and only in the vicinity of your RV site. They are not allowed in the rest of the park. It should go without saying that you should clean up after your dog, but I'll say it anyway because there's a $20 fine if you are caught failing to do so. I say this also because I didn't appreciate having to clean up after the previous camper's dog. One attraction you shouldn't miss if you are in this area is the Gilmore Car Museum, which is less than 20 miles away in Hickory Corners, MI. My wife and I couldn't see it all in the three and a half hours we had. See: www.gilmorecarmuseum.org. This park is a very nice place to stay for a very reasonable price as long as you are okay with the minimal services provided. I highly recommend it if you want to see this part of Michigan. - User2497

We stayed here because there was nothing else in the area. Registration is cumbersome as you have to go into town to the police station, pay and get a permit. The receptionist who handled this was ---less than efficient. Campground is next to a marsh, so expect mosquitoes. Supposedly there are 8 sites; however, only two water connections of which each is to be shared by 2 sites. There are chemical toilets in the park, but that is it. We would travel on rather than stay here again. - judb

We arrived the day after a major rain event and the park experienced some flooding. We had to cross a flooded bridge over a small creek which was a little scary but safe enough! There were two sites on the edge of a large pond that were completely flooded out! Our site was soft but we were able to situate our rig on the firmest part for a safe setup. Pretty park otherwise. We would stay here again. Our rate reflects the RPI rate. - Rick & Karen

We made our reservations through Coast-to-Coast online, based on the route we were taking through the area. We encountered complications earlier in our trip and needed to check in a day earlier, but we could never reach anyone on the phone. In fact, the voicemail box was FULL and not accepting more messages! Coast-to-Coast people contacted them and assured us of an earlier check-in. When we arrived at the gate house we were handed a map and told to go find a spot, "It's pretty muddy." and that was all the assistance we got. We unhooked the car and drove around until we found a pull-thru spot. This park could be a nice place if management took some care with the grounds. After being here a couple of days/nights I agree with previous reviews - management is absent and no one cares. Many sites look like people live there full time, golf carts everywhere, trash in fire pits. We are sandwiched between 2 5th wheels in such a way we can't enjoy sitting outside. Two small lakes on the property with a lot of geese. Today we went to one of the lakes and walked to the water's edge to get pictures. A young boy at a campsite nearby said matter-of-factly "Watch out for snakes." On a good note, the camp store is well stocked and the mini-golf area looks nice. The hand-out map with all those Rules mentions an internet cafe and big screen TV in the clubhouse. The lady in the guard house scoffed when we asked and said they had been stolen long ago! Although this place is "free" we will not stay here again. - NewmarTexans

I agree with other reviewers. This campground does not have the attention of the owners. Personnel were non existent having been laid off a few weeks earlier. Phones are shut down and office is locked. Literally no services. We were told we had to leave because campground was shutting down early. We purchased membership here mainly to camp in The fall and early spring because of too many people being there in the summer. Now that opportunity is lost. Owners are rumored to be buying more camps while letting this one deteriorate. Wish we knew how to contact other members. We feel our membership at this campground has been seriously devalued. Many improvements that were promised never carried out. Would not buy membership here again. - Sandy2422

This is a very nice clean grounds and plenty of room for your RV and concrete pads.
The biggest knock is the swimming pool - it's way too small for the number of guests, many of which are seasonal. Not only is it too small, but there is no control, in that kids are jumping in all over the place. I think it's only a matter of time before one of them gets hurt. Twice in two days they had to close the pool for the day because a kid got sick and threw up. They need an adult pool and leave the existing one as a kids pool since it is so shallow. This opinion is shared by most of the adults that use the pool, not just me.
We would definitely come back but only if they add another pool. - Bobk816

This park is very clean and well maintained and staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Check in was very efficient and easy. Park offers a Good Sam discount which was appreciated. Roads and sites were all paved and in very good condition. The adult "lodge" was a log building that complimented the style of the park and was set up with a fitness room, lounge and other recreational rooms that really did make you think you were in a lodge. The pool was very large and nicely appointed with deck chairs, chaise loungers, hot tub and nice pergola. Change rooms were very clean and abundant with outdoor showers. Camp store was well stocked and offered a food counter with pizza, burgers etc and ice cream. They also have an arcade, tennis courts, basketball, volleyball so lots for everyone to do. Overall this is a really nice campground and management does take care of it. My only reason for not rating it higher was the lack of shade on the sites (although the park is built around a forest), the park has no street lights (but you can see the stars really well) and its a bit of a drive to get anywhere, whether that's Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo. - skiddy

A county park this beautiful !!?? What a great find. It's quiet, spacious, long pull-throughs, clean bathrooms, places to walk, bike and run. A lake that you can swim in. Quiet at night. No WiFi. Water pressure was good. A very nice place to stay for a restful couple of days. Lots of staff around to make sure the place is clean and safe. Oh, when you arrive from the south, you have to swing WAY wide to turn right into the park. It's more than a 90 degree turn. - Lastrick

This campground was a nightmare. Take them at their word that it is a FAMILY campground. This means a hundred unsupervised children are running the streets from the crack of dawn until midnight. This beautiful Park is ruined by the atmosphere of hillbillies hanging their laundry out, drinking beer for breakfast and having a riot laughing and drinking beer until asked to please be quiet. Visits to the office were met with nods of the head by teenaged girls in charge. We finally left a week early with more vacant stares and no offers of a refund. This is the perfect getaway for a large extended family who love the camping experience with campfires and hayrides. The ponds and pools are beautiful. The other older campers are friendly and sympathetic. The cabins and cottages are awesome. For a class A, the spaces are small with lots of trees to navigate around. Forget using your satellite. - nickypoo

Deep Lake is the rustic campground in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area. Fantastic place to camp to "get away from it all". Most sites are in the deep woods along with a few more sunny sites. There are quite a few smaller sites or sites for tents only so be sure to check. Sites range from grassy to sandy and a few overlook the lake. Our site only had one other site within 100 yards of it. On check-in you can go thru the campground and choose a site. There are 120 sites, only half are reserveable and they are typically only full on holidays. Being rustic there are no hookups but there are several vault toilets (clean) and well water via pump available. You can use a generator during the day so long as it's quiet. Wood available at the ranger station. There is a dump station over at the modern Gun Lake campground that you can use, less then 10 miles away. Lots of hiking trails and mountain bike opportunities. Very, very quiet. - bonscott

This park is nice and very quiet for as busy as it is. Fishing has several piers into the lake and the lake is large enough for all boating activities. Most sites were large enough and were arranged so groups can 'circle the wagons'. The only problem was the mosquitoes which were very bad. - dalenoel
Jun 2010 - $28.00
We very much enjoyed our stay and Yankee Springs. The sites were big and wooded, the beach and fishing pier were very excellent. The playground was a bit dated but the kids still enjoyed it. My only complaint was the lack of water to each site. We knew that going in but it was a bigger issue for us than we originally thought it would be. Also I expected parking for my tow vehicle would have been included but it wasn't so I had to pay an extra $24 for a season parking permit. - tripletdad

Nightly rate includes $8 non MI resident fee. This large campground would likely be noisy during peak season, but was very quiet at this offseason time. Restrooms/showers are not yet open. Only a few sites on water but there is a large sandy area for beach games. Has limited waterfront access. Could have a boat at some sites. Has a very nice view across large lake. - CaneyFork

We had a great time here with our family. It was a small adjustment getting used to the no cement pad area for our motorhome and the mud and dirt everywhere, but hey that was part of the fun. The owners are incredible people. They changed their internet service from DSL to a cable company and had some issues. When I called and talked to the gal at the front about it, she handled it real professionally. Ten minutes later one of the owners drove her pickup down to our motorhome, knocked and had a neighborly discussion about it. She was not rushed or irritated or nothing but wanted me to know exactly what was going on. That was more than enough for me and let our family know that we are appreciated as customers. A real surprise. Later on Labor Day weekend they surprised us again by having the local Dorr Fire Department treat the kids to spraying down by fire hose and tour of fire truck. Very unexpected. The staff at Hungry Horse is all VERY professional and friendly. Their store is very southern style and makes you feel part of the outdoor experience. Pool was spotless and had an 8ft deep end the kids loved. They are a great campground with some fantastic seasonal people that waive you down when you are passing by and get you engaged in the conversation. It was a very family oriented campground and we won't hesitated to visit it again! - ProfessionalFamily

Quiet, friendly campground designed for family use. Sites are large grass pads with plenty of trees. Showers and restrooms are clean, but would only rate them 8.5. We are traveling from the west coast, but if we are in the area again, we would stay here. It seems all RV parks make a big issue of pet control, but fail to enforce. This one was no different. - Boyds nest
Jul 2012 - $33.00
We felt that this was mostly an extended-stay location for families, although they had some spots for transients. We stayed three nights and had a well-shaded, large, long pull-thru site but needed extra long hoses to reach the utilities. It was supposed to be a grass site but the grass had worn away so they had thrown hay on the site to keep dust and mud controlled. Unfortunately, we tracked a lot of hay into our unit anytime we went out. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. There is a large inviting pool area and playground by the office which was in use continually throughout the day. Due to the large number of children riding bikes, skateboards, etc. on the paved roads, it was necessary to be extremely careful leaving and returning for the day. We found the laundry (two washers and 2 dryers) to be inadequate for the size of the campground. Although our experience was satisfactory, as we primarily stay short-term while sightseeing, we probably would not tend to stay here again. - Second Timers

We stayed in this park while we were handling some family business in the area. Great value for the money. Roads coming in were quite rough, they are supposed to be resurfaced soon. Nice big and private sites. Many hiking, equestrian, and biking trails. We would definitely stay at this park again. - User2106
Apr 2011 - $20.00
I was here before the park was ready for the season but they still let me camp for a week anyway. The bath facilities were not open yet. This is very typical of the Michigan State Park system: ie, kind of rustic, no frills, which is the way it should be. The staff was great. Roads are paved (very rough coming in) and the campsites are grass/gravel and they are spaced quite a distance apart. If you are looking for an upscale RV resort with all the bells and whistles, well, this might not be the best place. However, it is one of only a very few campgrounds in the area. This is a good place if you enjoy the woods and nature kind of thing. If in the area, I'd sign up to stay again. - Jake67

If you are expecting a resort you will be unhappy. This is a nice State Park in the woods with decent privacy between sites. There are lots of outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, and canoeing. There is also a nice swimming beach. There are mosquitos but if you use bug spray or a Thermacell bug repelling lantern they will leave you alone. I did not experience any problems navigating our 30' class C anywhere in the park and saw several large Class A rigs there also. - Zdog

This is a wonderful campground with a friendly staff, clean inviting pool, and a nice little store. The hookups for some of the sites was on the wrong side. No problem, we just pulled in facing the other way. We shared a sewer with our neighbor which is also not a problem. We have family in the area and had visitors several times in the 3 days we were there. It was no problem. The park is dog friendly and we had no difficulty getting satellite and antenna reception. - Connie's Co-Owner

Quick GuideWhat's Causing Your Abdominal Pain?
How are ovarian cysts treated?
Most ovarian cysts in women of childbearing age are follicular or corpus luteum cysts (functional cysts) that disappear naturally in one to three months, although they can rupture and cause pain. They are benign and have no long-term medical consequence. They may be diagnosed coincidentally during a pelvic examination in women who do not have any related symptoms. All women have follicular cysts at some point that generally go unnoticed.
Ultrasound is useful to determine if the cyst is simple (just fluid with no solid tissue, suggesting a benign condition) or compound (with solid components that often requires surgical resection).
In summary, the ideal treatment of ovarian cysts depends on what the cyst is likely to be. The woman's age, the size (and any change in size) of the cyst, and the cyst's appearance on ultrasound help determine the treatment. Cysts that are functional are usually observed unless they rupture and cause significant bleeding, in which case, surgical treatment is required. Benign and malignant tumors require operation.
Treatment can consist of simple observation, or it can involve evaluating blood tests such as a CA-125 to help determine the potential for cancer (keeping in mind the many limitations of CA-125 testing described above).
The tumor can be surgically removed either with laparoscopy,, or if needed, an open abdominal incision (laparotomy) if it is causing severe pain, not resolving, or if it is suspicious in any way. Once the cyst is removed, the growth is sent to a pathologist who examines the tissue under a microscope to make the final diagnosis as to the type of cyst present.
What are the risks of ovarian cysts during pregnancy?
Ovarian cysts are sometimes discovered during pregnancy. In most cases, they are an incidental finding at the time of routine prenatal ultrasound screening. The majority of ovarian cysts found during pregnancy are benign conditions that do not require surgical intervention. However, surgery may be indicated if there is a suspicion of malignancy, if an acute complication such as rupture or torsion (twisting of the cyst, disrupting the blood supply) develops, or if the size of the cyst is likely to present problems with the pregnancy.

US drone appears to miss Pakistan target: officials
Peshawar, Pakistan (AFP) Nov 29, 2012
A US drone fired two missiles into open fields in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on Thursday, causing no apparent damage or casualties, local security officials said. It is highly unusual for no casualties to be reported when unmanned American aircraft target Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal belt. The attack came in the Shin Warsak area of South Waziristan about 20 kilometres (13 miles) from the Afghan border. The area is a stronghold of Pakista ... read more

So, my company is very high-end, mostly for people with a fair sum of money.
I'm using this http://www.serie3.info/s3slider/ javascript which apparently can have some IE 7&9 issues. I was wondering if this really matters,
Honestly, 1) IE has to be the biggest most painful unnecessary complete bull to ever hit the browser world.
That's all. Only need 1.
IE makes me lose faith in microsoft, I'm switching to Linux, no company that produces such a crap incompatible *&^%$ etc.
Anyways, how safe is it to assume that it's okay to ignore IE users? Honestly I just don't care but if it's going to lose us potential clients that isn't okay...
Is there a way I can set up a test run to see how many people view the site in IE within a couple days or something??
Or maybe 7 is the decent one and I need to command anyone using 9 to utilize it. I'm not sure...
Any advice anyone??

Halo: Reach Premiere in all its glory
The Halo: Reach Premiere took place in London on the evening of 9 September, with an elite Halo squad taking on a celebrity team featuring England football captain Rio Ferdinand and The Gadget Show's Jason Bradbury. With Reggie Yates presenting.
And, just as Bradbury had predicted to Pocket-lint, the celeb team took quite a bashing - despite the efforts of the UK's number 1 Halo player Lewis Chapman.
The celeb squad also contained Ben Cohen (England rugby star), Mr. Hudson (British R'n'B star), and Jameela Jamil (T4 presenter and model), but they couldn't get anywhere near their serious games-playing counterparts, losing each of the three rounds, 61-15, 64-10, and 84-27 (kills for each side).
Nonetheless, a great night was had by all, and it has whet the Pocket-lint team's appetite for the imminent game release (out 14 September). Be sure to catch our review soon.
Looking forward to the game? Let us know all about it in the comments below...

Beauty or a beast? Zero-calorie candy that claims to give you a sweet-looking face
The first sweet claiming to make people better looking is to hit the shops next year.
'Beauty candy' claims to increase energy levels, boost health, slow down the ageing process and improve skin complexion.
The confectionery supposedly contains zero fat, preservatives, sugar and sodium, has few calories and is packed with collagen and vitamins to care 'for the beauty from inside to outside'.
The first sweet designed to allegedly make people better looking is to hit the shops next year
The candy is already on sale in Brazil and British manufacturers are now looking to introduce it to consumers in the UK.
But not everyone is excited by the promise of a sweet face to match the sweet tooth.
Angus Kennedy, chief chocolate taster for a number of confectioners, samples new product ranges and 'concept' sweets months, and sometimes even years, before they appear on the shelves.
Father-of-four Angus, 46, of Tonbridge, Kent, said: 'As a parent, I don't want my daughters eating this with the idea it will make them somehow more beautiful.
'Sweets and chocolates are meant to be enjoyed as indulgent treats, not as potential health or beauty aids.
'It's morally wrong to promote such a concept to people. Beauty candy seems just like another cynical attempt to sell product by tapping into people's insecurities with their looks.'
Beauty Candy is part of the 'Beauty'in' brand, launched this summer by Brazilian entrepreneur and socialite Cristiana Arcangeli.
Cristiana Arcangeli, a former dentist from Brazil, says the sweets will 'bring beauty to a new dimension'
The former dentist from Sao Paulo has been behind the launch of a number of successful beauty and cosmetic brands over the last 25 years.
The 51-year-old says the new line will 'bring beauty to a new dimension' by being the first in a new category of food dubbed 'alimetics' that specifically contain cosmetic properties.
According to the marketing, nutrients in the candy provide for 'renewal, hydration, cellular protection, an increase in energy', and, less expectedly, 'willingness'.
But Angus, the editor of Kennedy's Confection magazine, believes the truth might not live up to the advertising.
And to try to prove it he has been eating a 150-gram pack of beauty candy, containing an average of 80 sweets, or 'rounds', every day for the last three weeks.
He added: 'I've been scrutinising the confectionery industry for 25 years and have never heard of anything like this before.
'The makers are making one hell of a statement saying that by eating a lot of their sweets people can get better looking and "willing", whatever that means, so I decided to test the claims myself.
'My wife hasn't commented on me looking like Brad Pitt yet so I guess the jury's still out.'
Beauty candy comes in four flavours, including strawberry, and costs £7.50.
The product is accompanied by a 'beauty drink', which is available in eight flavours, and, according to the instructions, must be 'drunk cold and instantly'.
Angus says all the confectioners he has spoken to have expressed concern with 'alimetics' and the Beauty'in line.
But he fears it is only a matter of time before beauty candy and beauty drinks appear in the UK.
He added: 'Alarmingly, cosmetic food seems to be taking off and I can see businesses in Britain wanting to cash in on the novelty.
'But the claims being made are, frankly, misleading. Yes, we all want to be more appealing but I bet Cristiana Arcangeli didn't eat beauty foods when she was young to make her look like she does.'

The 2014 FIFA World Cup is well underway and the final match to crown the world champions will be played in the Maracanã Stadium. The stadium was originally built to host the 1950 World Cup final, but with the stadium being the focal point for the current 2014 World Cup and the upcoming 2016 Olympics it was deemed that it needed a revamp. The most striking difference between the old and newly renovated stadium is the roof that now protects 95% of the seating from rain and provides better shade. The original roof only offered minimal rain protection and shade to a few rows of seats. However, it seems little air-time has been devoted to analyzing the wind characteristics of the playing area inside the stadium due to the different roof extents, especially when you consider how much attention the aerodynamics of the match ball have garnered. Rest easy though, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is here to help.
Caedium CFD Simulation of a StadiumStreamlines
Every 4 years the FIFA World Cup rolls around and the question on everyone's lips is...how will the official match balls behave? Oh, and to a lesser degree, which nation will win? Ball aerodynamics are complex, but relatively well understood. Given the typical speed and spin of balls in the beautiful game, small changes to their surface texture (the focus of much recent effort in ball design) can have dramatic repercussions on their trajectories and hang times. Balls are deemed so important that each has its own Wikipedia page and each has tournament-flavored names thanks to Adidas, the long time ball designer.
CFD Simulation of Flow Around a Rotating Ball
Complete, watertight, complex geometry is a rare but welcome find in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, thanks to the steering committee of the upcoming 23rd International Meshing Roundtable, such a geometry, in various formats, is freely available for their meshing contest. The star of the contest is London's Tower Bridge, I presume in honor of the conference's host city. So to the bat cave to see what Caedium Professional can do with this model.
Tower Bridge Caedium CFD SimulationVelocity contours
It is a common occurrence: a rain drop falls into a puddle; a leaky faucet drips into a sink of water. This seemingly simple event has some complex physics in play that advanced multi-phase, free-surface (volume of fluid - VOF) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can simulate. Not only can CFD simulate water impact in a pool, it can also produce a beautiful 3D visualization of the process as an animation. Follow along to see how you can use Caedium Professional to simulate a water droplet falling into a pool of water.

The next release of the Caedium CFD software system will be able to simulate the convection and diffusion of a passive species, also known as a passive scalar. A passive species can represent and track additions such as smoke in airflow and dye in water. It can also provide insights on the dispersion of pollutants carried by a fluid.
Caedium Passive Species CFD SimulationPollutant plume released in air from a chimney
Previously I showed how to automate a sequence of Caedium Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of an alpha sweep for an airliner. Next up I will show you how to automate the export of results from Caedium in a specific format. This example focuses on the files required for ixCube 4-10 (the successor to ixForten 4000) to perform a structural analysis using the pressure coefficient (Cp) from an airflow simulation over a tensile structure or membrane.
Caedium Membrane CFD Simulation
While I'm sure you know aerodynamics does play a crucial role in outdoor cycling, aerodynamics doesn't offer any performance gains for stationary cycling indoors. With this in mind, hopefully you spotted that my previous blog post "Aerodynamic Performance of a Stationary Bicycle" was a cunning April Fools' Day ruse.
Stationary Bicycle StreamlinesNo airflow, no streamlines
Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in the performance characteristics of outdoor cycling. However, no-one to my knowledge has used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the aerodynamic performance of a stationary bicycle - at least until now!

Turbulence modeling for the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations - the basis of most industrial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software - is a complex field. Trying to strike a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency has given rise to a relatively large number of different turbulence models. I am not aware of a definitive list to match turbulence models to applications - if you are, please share! With this in mind I'll share 6 suggestions before you consider switching the default turbulence model in your CFD software.

SingTel and TOUCH Launch Singapore's First Cyber Wellness Mobile App
News Source : SingTel and TOUCH Launch Singapore's First Cyber Wellness Mobile App
Singapore, 10 July 2014 – SingTel and TOUCH Cyber Wellness today launched notAnoobie, Singapore's first cyber wellness mobile application designed to help parents better understand and protect their children from online risks.
notAnoobie helps parents gain deeper insights into their children's online activity while on-the-go. The app features the latest on cyber issues, game reviews and real life stories of youths who have overcome their online problems. The term "noobie" refers to a novice.
Technology helps to connect people, but it also exposes them, in particular youths, to online risks including inappropriate content and mobile addiction. Two surveys show that six out of 10 youths have experienced a negative situation online such as cyber bullying.
Mr Eugene Seow, Executive Director, TOUCH Community Services, said: "Many parents have told us that they are often clueless about their children's online activities. Yet, they are and should be the first line of defence when their children run into problems. With notAnoobie, they can now keep abreast on new media information and are better empowered to guard their children from digital pitfalls, while guiding them to become responsible online citizens."
Content on notAnoobie is developed by TOUCH's coaches and with extensive experience in cyber wellness education and counselling. SingTel funded the development of the app.
Mr Andrew Buay, Vice President, Group Corporate Social Responsibility, SingTel said: "As a responsible corporate citizen and the market leader in digital and mobile solutions, SingTel is committed to playing a key role in promoting cyber wellness by leveraging our technologies, capabilities and resources."
"With notAnoobie, we want to equip both young users and parents with the necessary knowledge to manage their digital footprint, protect their privacy and safety, while enjoying the benefits the online world offers," Mr Buay added.
Besides cyber wellness and online safety, SingTel's community focus also includes educating children and youth with special needs, supporting and training youth with disabilities for gainful employment, as well as the inclusion and well-being of vulnerable segments of the local community, especially persons with disabilities and seniors.
TOUCH Cyber Wellness, a service of TOUCH Community Services, is committed to providing quality cyber wellness education to children, teenagers, parents and educators.Since its inception in 2001, its cyber wellness programmes have reached out to more than 1 million students, educators and parents from over 320 schools.
