All it takes is a little preparation to get your car winter-ready and to keep from getting into an icy situation.
It's time to bring long sleeves and long pants out of storage, prep your home and car, and contact the cool weather home/yard contractors.
In a pinch on lunch hour the FORD dealer where I bought my car couldn't fix a leaky tire. Said I'd have to wait till someone got back from break to have it PLUGGED. I looked around at all the self praising tire and service banners hung everywhere and decided to use the NAV screen in my FLEX. A second later I asked that they open the door and I could drive out, turn left one block and be at Les Schwab. I showed them where the leak was and they said sure, took my info and keys, and I toodled around the showroom eating free popcorn and coffe, looking at and being helped with pricing on some tires for my Suburban, and reading the real news articles of Les Schwab in a frame on the back wall by the bathrooms. The wife, dogs, and my son sat around the table chatting with other customers in the air conditioned waiting area. Before I knew it they called me up to get my keys. I didn't even buy tires from them and he said "NO CHARGE". They took the wheel off the car, took the tire off the rim, put on an INSIDE patch, put it all back together balanced and mounted, and aired all my tires to 37psi for FREE!! Not even the place where my car came from could do that,... and I live 500+ miles away. I was stupefied all the way home and sent them a check for 20.00 to spend as they wish on their crew, what an operation,.. top notch!! I Recommend Les Schwab, So Cal Traveler Brett Wilson
I'm on my 5th Set of tires from these guys(Mine and my wife's cars). Professional atmosphere in there. You do not stand in line and wait at this place regardless how busy it is... Someone will always acknowledge you and help you. Good selection of tires as well. Overall very happy with this establishment!! Please try them on your next set of tires! Quick Note: They install wheels and tires solely. They do not repair vehicles or perform alignments. If you get a new set of tires and they are bald in 6 months, 99.9% it is not the installers fault(just reading a few comments below). You have a separate issue with your vehicle. i.e. alignment etc...
I took my car in for a routine oil change and tire rotate, come to find out I needed a fair amount of work done. They were pretty quick and most important kind and reasonable. I have a stack of there business card that I pass out to all my customers. They could use a paint job other than that A+ service!!!!����
These guys are great, I took my granddaughters car in to have the muffler fixed. They put it right in and took care of it right away. Very professional and reasonably. Since then they have done more work on other vehicles and again they took care of my vehicles. Thank you, last honest shop in town.
They over charge for everything, they are slow at getting the parts, they don't show you the old parts even when asked to save them. Every time the called they raised the price by a thousand dollars. I won't have them ever do anything again.
Glenn explains in a way everyone can understand and is quite professional to do business with. Reasonable rates and is fair in his quotes. Solved my problems and would highly recommend
Been there several times with different rigs and always had good care. Prices about the same as anywhere, but was included in deciding what needed fixed and what could wait.
I just bought tires for my wife's jeep. They came in under what they quoted me and the tires look great. We are very happ!
Glen fixed all the problems with my Ford. The Ford dealership couldn't fix the problems. The car runs great.
He is speedy and very accurate with the trouble shooting and the best cost in town $50/ hour is cheep.
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

Mack-Cali Announces ENERGY STAR Rating Awarded to Bergen County Property
07/30/2010 Category: Miscellaneous
Edison, New Jersey—July 30, 2010—Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced the awarding of the prestigious ENERGY STAR designation to Mack-Cali Centre II, a class A, 348,510-square-foot property located at 650 From Road in Paramus, New Jersey. The award, given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy, is the national symbol for superior energy performance.
Mack-Cali Centre II was recognized for the ENERGY STAR award based, in part, on monthly building physical systems inspections, ongoing preventive maintenance measures, the conversion to T8 fluorescent light bulbs, and the minimization of mechanical cooling of the buildings through the use of outside air.
Commercial buildings that earn the ENERGY STAR use an average of 35 percent less energy than typical buildings, and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Only commercial buildings and industrial plants in the top 25 percent of facilities in the nation for energy efficiency qualify for this rating.
Mitchell E. Hersh, Mack-Cali president and chief executive officer, commented, "This is the 13th ENERGY STAR award achieved at Mack-Cali properties in 2010, and clearly demonstrates to tenants and shareholders our ongoing commitment to energy-efficient operations, while helping to preserve the environment. We remain committed to adding more properties to this prestigious list."
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) providing management, leasing, development, construction and other tenant-related services for its class A real estate portfolio. Mack-Cali owns or has interests in 287 properties, primarily office and office/flex buildings located in the Northeast, totaling approximately 32.9 million square feet. The properties enable the Company to provide a full complement of real estate opportunities to its diverse base of approximately 2,100 tenants.
Additional information on Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is available on the Company's website at www.mack-cali.com.

text: We had the big launch of the Wi-Fi model, with the 3G model reported to be on its way this week. But now it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet could be facing a rather abrupt end in the UK.The tablet has been pulled from sale in Europe. We're not talking mainland Europe either, we mean the Europe that includes the UK. It's all down to an order in a German court that has wider implications.The Pocket-lint website quotes the Daily Telegraph, which reports: 'The Regional Court of Dusseldorf has granted Apple a preliminary injunction against the sale and marketing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 across all of Europe except the Netherlands. It is possible to apply for a pan-European injunction in any country which, if upheld, covers all of the EU. The judge backed Apple's claim that Samsung's tablet infringed on its patents and copied elements of the iPad 2.'Samsung, as you might have gathered, is far from happy with this decision: 'Samsung is disappointed with the court's decision and we intend to act immediately to defend our intellectual property rights through the ongoing legal proceedings in Germany and will continue to actively defend these rights throughout the world.''The request for injunction was filed with no notice to Samsung, and the order was issued without any hearing or presentation of evidence from Samsung. We will take all necessary measures to ensure Samsung's innovative mobile communications devices are available to customers in Europe and around the world. This decision by the court in Germany in no way influences other legal proceedings filed with the courts in Europe and elsewhere.'Not just a blow for Samsung, but for us, the customer too. We really rated it in review and expected it to be a serious challenger to the iPad in the coming months. If it is pulled from the shelves for a long period of time, especially over the Christmas period, Samsung will be hit where it really hurts - on the balance sheet.

Franz is the former husband of Lise Hampton.
Franz married Lise sometime before 2258 and they were expecting a child.[1]; however, he proved to be unfaithful and was having an affair. Lise filed for divorce but as Franz beat her to it and since he was an "Earthborn" the Earth appointed courts awarded Franz custody of their daughter. He remarried shortly afterwards (presumably with the person he was having the affair with) and according to Lise, he planned to raise their daughter without telling her about her biological mother.

3,058,458 dELECTORS AND 'HMERS FOR ELECTRG- CARDIOGHS Emanuel Adams Daneman, R0. Box 471, St. girnons Island, Ga. Filed Dec. 21, 1959, Ser. No. 361,054 2 Claims. (Cl. 128-2.06)
This application relates to electrocardiographs and more particularly to means for rendering electrocardiographs fully automatic in that it provides for automatic serial connection or rotation at preselected and variable time intervals of all standard electrocardiograph leads (i.e.) limb, augmented and precordial, including the rejection of unwanted leads as well.
An object of this invention is to provide an automatic serial rotation selector and variable time interval controller as above stated that may be manufactured as a separate unit for use with existing electrocardiographs or which may be embodied in an electrocardiograph assembly as a component part thereof.
Electrocardiographs as presently constructed and used require the technician, on the usual tracing, to reset the precordial leads on the patient six different times, and return to the machine for its operation each time. In the use of such equipment it has been necessary for the technician to be with the patient and the machine throughout its entire cycle.
It is an object of this invention to provide a device which makes it possible for the technician to connect all the precordial leads to the patient at one time, set the machine {or automatic operation for serial rotation or connection of the leads at a preselected and variable time intervals through all the electrocardiographic positions established by the leads, namely, limb, augmented, and precordial.
It is also an object of the invention to provide for the rejection of any unwanted leads.
By means of the invention, the technician may plug the left and right arm leads of an existing electrocardiograph machine into the automatic selector and timer of this invention. The techician also plugs the power input cable of the existing electrocardiograph machine into a power receptacle of the automatic device embodying the invention. The technician then turns on the present or existing eardiograph to a lead called lead I. The input cable of the automatic selector and timer is then connected to the patient. The electrocardiograph machine is then left in the on-position so that it is ready for operation. As soon as the technician turns on the automatic selector and timing device, the electrocardiograph is activated and the various limb, augmented, and precordial leads are connected to the cardiograph in serial order.
In the operation of the machine, the lead selector of the machine is turned to the oil-position. The rejector selector which is provided with control devices such as toggle switches is set to connect into circuit whatever leads are wanted. The machine also includes a start and reject button which is depressed and held momentarily until the selector switch is connected to lead I. From this point on, the machine will connect the leads which have been selected to the electrocardiograph for selected time intervals. When the last lead has been 3,653,458 Patented Oct. 16, 1962 r6 re connected and been on for the time required, the machine shuts off.
During the period when the machine is in operation the technician is free to take the electrocardiographic record as it emerges from the machine and should be able to mount it by the time the machine has completed its operation. As an alternative, the technician could be attaching a separate input cable to a second patient. Means could be provided for switching over from one patient to another automatically, allowing the technician freedom in attaching a cable to one patient while another electrocardiogram is being run on another patient.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a selector and timing device which will control the operation of an electrocardiograph in such manner that all of the leads which normally are separately attached to a patient and the machine, may be selected in sequence, or any unwanted leads may be rejected, and the length of time a particular lead is in circuit can be automatically controlled from start to finish, thereby leaving the operator free to attend to other patients Who are waiting for electrocardiograms. Such a device makes for efiiciency and lowers the cost of electrocardiograms. The invention also decidedly limits the possibility of error by the technician in the making of erroneous lead connections.
The above and other objects of the invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 10 is a more or less exploded diagrammatic view of the automatic selector and timer.
Throughout the drawings and the specification like reference characters indicate like parts.
The general arrangement in which the invention is used is illustrated by FIG. 3 in which a man patient 10 is shown to which the following leads have been connected: right and left arms, RA, LA, respectively, left leg LL and precordial VlV6, respectively. These leads may be encased in a cable a shown and provided with a multiple point plug ll by which they may be connected into a female recepacle 12 of the selector and timer l3 embodying a form of the invention. The selector timer 13 is provided with a plurality of pairs of output jacks 14a and 14b and 140 and 14d. The output jacks 14a and 14b maybe used to connect the output of the selector to an electrocardiograph 15 while the output jacks 14c and 14d may be employed for connecting the selector timer to another electrocardiograph not shown. In other words, the timer selector 13 may serve one or more machines as desired. In such a case, the selector 13 would be provided with means whereby the leads from several patients may be connected into the selector and sequentially connected to the electrocardiograph as the cardiograms of the respective patients have been completed.
As shown in FIG. 1, the selector timer 13 is provided with a knob 16 having a pointer 17 registering with a dial which may be called the lead selector dial. As shown in FIG. 1, the limb leads are designated I, II, and III. Provision is also made to accommodate augmented leads designated AVR, AVL, and AVF. The dial also shows the precordial leads V1 through V6. There is one open position in the lead selector dial and an offposition. While normally rotated automatically, the ead selector switch may be rotated manually in a clockwise direction.
At the opposite end of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 there is a timer knob 18 provided with a pointer 19 that registers with a dial graduated in units of time varying from to 60 seconds for example. The timer controls the length of time a given lead is connected through the selector to the electrocardiograph.
Also shown in FIG. 1 there are a plurality of toggle switches 20-23 by means of which leads from the patient may be connected into circuit with the electrocardiograph or rejected. For example, the toggle switch 20 controls the limb leads LL, RA and LA at positions I-III, switch 21 controls augmented leads indicated at positions AVR, AVL and AVF, switch 22 controls the precordial leads V:1-V4 and switch 23 the precordial leads V5-V6.
The selector and timer 13 may also be provided with a toggle switch 24 by means of which the device may be turned on or off. Indicated on the top panel of the device 13 is a fuse 25, a flashing signal light 26 that goes on when the switch 24 is turned to on-position and a signal light 27 that flashes on and off as each lead is connected to or disconnected from the patient as the lead selector progresses in a clockwise direction from off to open and to off-positions.
The device is also provided, with a start-reject button switch 28. This switch, when momentarily depressed, starts the timer selector. If it is held down, the timer advances from one position to another rapidly until it is released, thereby making it possible to pass or reject, so to speak, a number of leads in the clockwise travel of the lead selector.
The construction of the timer selector illustrated in FIG. 1 is shown by the exploded schematic view of FIG. 10.
As there illustrated, the timer 30, which occupies the position of knob 18 in FIG. 1, includes a multi-contact, time-selecting switch 31 having, for example, 13 different timing positions 1-13 (3 1), respectively. This timer is set manually and controls the rate at which the selector progresses from one lead to another and therefore controls the length of time that a given lead, limb or pre cordial, is connected from the body of the patient to the electrocardiograph. The timer switch '31 is set manually.
The timer selector also includes a gang selector switch assembly 32having multi-contact switches 33-, 34, 35, 36, and 37, respectively, mounted on a common shaft 38.
The switch 33 comprises a stationary member 40 through which the shaft '38 extends and a wiper contact member 41 that is fixed to and insulated from the shaft and rot-ates therewith. Switch 33 is shown as having 13 stationary contacts 1-13 mounted on member 40. Contact 13 is open and the switch has an off-position. Contacts 1, 2, and 3 (33) are connected to a jumper 42, contacts 4, 5, and 6 (33) are connected to a jumper 43, contacts 7, 8, 9, and 10 (3'3) are connected together by a jumper 44 and contacts 11 and 12 (33) are connected by a jumper 45. Contact 13 is open.
The wiper contact 41 is connected by a conductor 46 to the circuit of timer 30, while jumpers 42, 43, 44, and are connected, respectively, to the toggle switches 20-23, respectively. By means of the switches 20-23 connected as shown, the timer causes the gang switch 32 to move rapidly without pause at each contact, whereby selected patient leads may be skipped or rejected. The switches 20-23 operate to remove the timing feature of the timer circuit for such time as is necessary to accomplish the rejection of the leads desired.
The start reject switch 28 is provided to cut out the timing feature of the timer so long as it is kept closed, whereby the gang switch shaft 38 may be driven rapidly without pausing at a contact so long as that switch is depressed. The manner in which the switches 20-23 and switch 28 remove the timing feature of the timer will be described infra.
The gang switch 34 has the same number of contacts as gang switch 33. Contacts 1-6 (34) are open, while contacts 7-12 (34) constitute the means of connecting the precordial leads V1-V6 to the electrocardiograph. The stationary contacts 1-13 of switch 34 are mounted on a stationary member 52, while the wiper arm contact 52 thereof is secured to and insulated from the shaft 38.
The gang switch 35 comprises a stationary member 54 on which contacts 1-13 thereof are mounted and a wiper contact arm 55 that is secured to and insulated from the shaft 38. The wiper contact 55 is disposed for connection to limb lead LL. Contacts 1 and 13 of switch 35 are open; contacts 2 and 3 thereof are connected to each other by a jumper 56 and a conductor 57 to a conductor 58 leading to the output jack 14b which leads to the electrocardiograph 15. Contacts 4, 5, and 7-12 (35) are connected by a jumper 59 through a resistor 60 to the conductor 58 and thence to the output jack 14b. Contact 6 of switch 35 is connected by a conductor 62 to a conductor 63- which leads to the output jack 14a.
Thus, limb lead LL is connected to output jack 14b 7 when wiper contact 55 makes contact with contacts 2 and 3; it is also connected to the output jack 14b through the resistor 60 when the wiper contact arm 55 makes contact with contacts 4, 5, and 7-12 of switch 35. When the wiper contact arm '55 makes contact with contact 6, the limb lead LL is connected through conductors 62 and 63 to the output jack 14a, thereby reversing the connection of limb lead LL with respect to the output jacks.
Switch 36 comprises a base 64 on which are mounted contacts 1-13, and a wiper contact -arm 65 that is secured to and insulated from the shaft 38. Contact member 2 (36) is open, while contact 1 (36) is connected to the output jack (14b directly. Contact members 3 and 5 are connected by a jumper 67 and a conductor 68 to the output jack 14a; contact 4 (36) is connected through a resistor 69 to the output jack 1412; while contacts 6-12 are connected to a jumper 70 and by that jumper through resistor 69 to the output jack 1%.
The left arm lead LA is connected to the wiper contact arm 65. Thus, as the wiper contact arm 65 advances clockwise, the left arm lead is connected through contact 1 to the output jack 14b. When the arm 65 engages contact 3 36), the left arm lead LA is connected to the output jack 14a. When contact is made with contact 4 (36), the left arm lead is connected through resistor 69 to the output jack 14b which is a reversal of its connection to the output jacks with respect to contacts l and 3. When the contact arm 65 engages contact 5, the left arm lead LA is connected to the out-put jack 14a, and when it makes contact with contacts 6-12 3 (36), there is a reversal and the left arm lead LA is connected through resistor 69 to the out-put jack 14b.
The switch 37 comprises a base 72 on which are mounted the stationary contacts 1-13 and a Wiper contact arm 73 secured to the shaft 38 and insulated therefrom. Contacts 1 and 2 (37) are connected when engaged by wiper contact 73 to the output jack 1411. Contacts 3 and 13 (37) are open. Contact 4 is connected to output jack 14a when the wiper contact 73 engages it. Contacts -12 are connected by a jumper 74 through a resistor 75 to the output jack 14b. The right arm lead RA is connected to the wiper contact 73. Thus, the right arm lead is connected to the output jack 1411 by the wiper contact 73 and contacts 1, 2, and 4, and it is connected to the jack 14b when the wiper contact 73 makes contact with contacts 5-12.
The shaft 33 may be driven in the manner intended by any suitable means. The means illustrated comprises a ratchet wheel 73 secured to the shaft 38 and a pawl 79 having an armature 81} disposed in an operating solenoid 81. The solenoid 81 is controlled by the timer 30.
Each time the solenoid 81 is energized, the ratchet wheel 78 is advanced a distance corresponding to the distance between adjacent contact members on the gang switches 33-37.
The timing circuit may take various forms but the one illustrated is an electronic circuit employing a transistor. The timing circuit comprises a transformer 82 having a primary winding 33 and an output winding 84. The transformer may be connected to an AC. power supply by means of a plug 85 and the toggle switch 24. In circuit with the toggle switch 34 is the fuse 25 and the indicator light 2.6 which may be a neon tube, for example. The output winding 84 of the transformer is provided with a diode or recitifier 85 and a condenser 86 which is connected to the negative terminal of the rectifier and the opposite terminal of the transformer winding 84. The negative terminal of the rectifier 85 is connected to the switch 31 which determines the rate of advance of the gang switch shaft 38, or, in other words, at the rate at which the solenoid 81 is energized. The solenoid 81 is connected to the power supply through a solenoidoperated switch 88, the solenoid 89 of which is energized by the timer. When the solenoid is energized, the switch 88 closes connecting the solenoid 81 to the power supply conductors 90 and 91.
The timer switch 31 may comprise a multi-contact switch having a base 92 on which a plurality of contacts, for example, 13 contacts, are mounted as shown. It also includes a wiper contact arm 93 which may be turned manually from one timing position to another. The contacts 1-13 (31) are connected, respectively, through resistors lit-13a to a jumper or common conductor 94, that jumper being connected to one terminal of the solenoid 89 by a conductor 35. The wiper contact 93 is connected to one terminal of a series resistance-capacitor circuit comprising resistors 100, 161, and a condenser 102. The condenser is connected to voltage supply line 93. In circuit with the resistors 100 and 101 is a transistor 163. The base contact of the transistor 103 is connected to supply conductor 90 and to one terminal of the transformer 89. The input terminal of the transistor is connected to the junction of the resistors 100 and ltl l. Thus, as the voltage builds up on the transistor, it passes current, energizing the solenoid 89 and closing the switch 88 whereby the solenoid 81 is energized and the ratchet 7 3 advanced one tooth.
The ohmic values of the resistances Ira-13a are graduated so as to control the time of firing of the transistor 103 and the frequency with which the switch 88 is closed and consequently the frequency with which the selector switch assembly 32 is advanced from one contact to another. Thus, if the wiper contact arm 93 is set in the position to engage contact 1 and thereby connect resistor in in circuit with the transistor circuit, the switch 6 38 will close and then reopen. It will close again after the lapse of a predetermined length of time determined by the value of resistance 10!. The time at which the switch 88 closes can be modified by moving the Wiper contact arm 93 to contact 2 or any one of the other contacts having different resistance values.
Connected in parallel with the input winding 83 of the transformer is a plug socket by means of which the electrocardiogra-ph may be plugged into the power supply, the socket 110 being mounted to the timer selector a ssembly 13 shown in FIG. 1.
Assuming that the body leads, such as the limb and precordial leads, have been connected to the patient and to the timer selector and it is desired to obtain an electrocardiogram, the selector switch assembly 32 is turned to the off-position, the timer switch 31 is set to a position that will give the desired length of time that any lead is connected to the electrocardiograph writing mechanism. The toggle switch 24 is then thrown to on-position and the switch 28 is momentarily depressed whereby the transistor 103 is caused to fire immediately thereby closing the relay switch 88 and energizing the solenoid 81. The ratchet wheel 78 is then moved or advanced one tooth so that the wiper contacts of the switches 33-37 will engage contacts 1 thereof. In that position, right arm lead RA is connected to output jack 14a and the left arm lead LA is connected to the output jack 14b. Switches 34 and 35 are open at contact 1 position.
After a lapse of time determined by the resistance in circuit with the contact to which the wiper contact 93 has been set, the solenoid 81 is energized to advance the ratchet wheel 78 another tooth, whereby the switches 3337 are advanced to contact 2 thereof. The selector switch assembly 32 remains at rest in that position for the period of time fixed by the timer and in that position, right arm lead RA is connected to output jack 14a and the left leg lead LL is connected to the output jack 14b, contacts 2 of switches 34 and 36 being open.
When the time interval has expired, the solenoid 81 is energized to advance the ratchet wheel 78 another tooth, whereby the switches of the selector 32 are adv vanced to the position where the wiper contacts thereof make contact with contacts 3. In that position, the left arm lead LA is connected to output jack 14a, and the left leg lead LL is connected to output jack 14b, contacts 3 of switches 34 and 37 being open.
When the time interval has expired, the solenoid 81 is energized, again advancing the ratchet wheel 78 another tooth and actuating the wiper contacts of the switches 33-37 into engagement with contacts 4 thereof. In that position, the right arm lead RA is connected to output jack 14a and the left arm and left leg leads LA and LL, respectively, are connected to the output jack 14b through resistors 69 and 60, respectively, contact 4 of switch 34 being open.
The time interval having expired for the switch contacts 4, the solenoid is again energized and advanced one tooth so that the contact arms of the switches 33-37 engage contacts 5 thereof. In this position, the right arm lead RA is connected through resistor 75 to the output jack 14b, the left arm lead LA is connected to the output jack 14a and the left leg lead LL is connected through resistor 60* to the output jack 14b.
The solenoid 81 on its next energization, advances the selector 32 one step whereby the wiper contact arms 41, 53, 55, 65 and 73 engage contacts 6 thereof. In that position, the right arm lead RA is connected through resistor 75 to the output jack 14b, the left arm lead LA is connected to the output jack 1% through jumper 70, resistor 69 and conductor 58 and the left limb lead LL is connected to output jack 14a through conductors 62 and 63. When the selector 32 has reached the position just described, all of the limb =lead combinations will have been completed and the tracings effected by the Writer of the electrocardiograph. However; the limb lead con- '7 nection's are made to jack 14b as the switches 33-37 progress through the remaining contact positions.
When the selector 32 is moved to the position Where the wiper contact arms of the switches 33-37 engage contacts 7 thereof, the limb leads are connected, as above stated, to output jack 14b, but the precordial lead V1 is connected to the output jack 14a. As the selector 32 is advanced from contacts 7 of the switches 33-37 through the positions of contacts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 thereof, the precordial leads V2-V6 are connected in sequence to the output jack 14a. Thus, the readings for the precordial lead connections are made in sequence and recorded by the writer of the electrocardiograph.
When the selector 32 makes one more advance, the wiper arm contacts thereof reach the contact positions represented by contacts 13 thereof and the machine is disconnected from the writer. The selector 32 continues to advance step by step and would pass the ottposition unless the switch 24 has been thrown to offposition.
It is to be understood that the shaft 38 of the selector 32 may be provided with a limit switch which turns the machine oif when it reaches the off position.
The switches 20, 21, 22 and 23 are provided for the purpose of rejecting limb leads or precordial leads as desired. For example, if the switch 20 is closed, the solenoid 81 is freed of the time delay feature of the timer circuit so that the solenoid 81 is energized rapidly to cause the wiper contact arm 41 and the corresponding arms of the switches 34-37 to move quickly past the contacts 1, 2 and 3 and come to rest at contact 4 for the length of time fixed by the time interval of the timing circuit. Thus, switch 20 provides for the rejection of all of the limb leads. The limb leads may be rejected one by one by proper momentary operation of switch 28.
If switch 21 is closed, the selector 32 is moved rapidly over the contacts 4, 5 and 6 of all of the switch assemblies and comes to rest at contact members 7 thereof; The contacts 4, 5 and 6 may be utilized to accommodate augmented leads AVR, AVLand AVF of FIG. 1. The augmented electrocardiograph positions provide for special combinations of other leads through resistors in the machine and do not necessitate further connections to the patient; they are a part of this machine as indicated. For example, the augmented lead AVRuses the right arm lead as the exploratory electrode, while the left arm and left leg leads are grounded each through a 5,000 ohm resistor.
When switch 22 is closed, the precordial leads V1-V4 are rejected in that the selector 32 moves rapidly past the contacts 7, 8, 9 and 10 of all the switch assemblies and comes to rest at contacts 11 thereof. Thus, the machine will record the voltages conducted by the precordial leads V5 and V6 to the electrocardiograph but the leads V1-V4 will have been rejected. Switch 23 when closed rejects the precordial leads V5 and V6. By connecting contact 13 of switch 33 to switch 23, as shown, the rejection of contact position 13 of the switches is made automatic. Thus, by closing any one of switches -23, particular leads may be rejected. It is also possible to reject leads by closing switch 28 independently of the switches 20-23. In other words, so long as switch 28 is closed, the timer will activate the solenoid 81 repeatedly and cause the selector 32 to keep stepping along at a rapid pace until the switch 28 has been released to open position.
FIGS. 4-9 illustrate details of the selector timer 13 and the arrangement and location of various components thereof. In FIGURE 4, which is a view in section looking upwardly from the underside of the top panel of the device shown in FIG. 1, the lead selector 32 is shown. The particular selector illustrated is a multi-contact, multigang switch of the type used in radio and similar applications. It is to be understood that any type of switch suitable for making the lead selections illustrated in FIG.
10 and described in connection therewith may be employed. The radio gang switch was one which was conveniently available and easily modified, as indicated in FIG. 10, to perform the purpose intended. The timer switch 31, that is the switch that determines the length of time that the wiper contacts of the selector switch 32 are made, and the leads controlled thereby are connected to the electrocardiograph, is illustrated as being at the opposite end of the housing. That switch also is a singlegang, multi-point switch frequently used in radio work and was modified by the provision of the resistors 1a- 13a of FIG. 10. The location of the switches 20-24 and the fuse 25, the signal light 26, and the momentary make and break switch 28 are illustrated in their respective l0- cations.
FIG. 5 is a view showing the location of the ratchet wheel 78 and the pawl 79 and the manner in which they are mounted in the lower half of the housing of the device 13. It also shows the location of the time interval controlling switch 31, the relay 88 and other components.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show the manner in which the lead selector 32 is connected to the ratchet wheel 78 and the construction of the solenoid 81 and the pawl 79 operated by it.
The multi-gang switch selector 32 is so mounted that its shaft 38 extends into the lower compartment of the housing of the device 13. The shaft is guided in a hearing bracket 110. The pawl 79, as shown, is a curved member having at one end a pair of spaced lips 111 and 112 between which the edge of the ratchet wheel 78 is received. The pawl is guided in its travel by means of a pin 113 operating in a slot 114 of a bracket 115 secured to the housing as shown. The opposite end of the pawl 79 is connected to the armature which, as shown, is disposed within the solenoid 81. The solenoid 81 with its iron circut member 116 is secured to a bracket 117 which in turn is secured to the housing of the device 13 by suitable screws as shown.
The pawl 79 is provided with a cam 118 for operating a micro switch 119 through a lever 128 having a roller 121 disposed to engage the cam. The micro switch flashes a signal or performs any desirable function.
Components of the device not specifically mentioned in connection with FIGS. 4 to 9 inclusive but which have been described in connection with FIG. 10 are designated by the appropriate reference characters.
Having thus described the invention, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains that various modifications and changes may be made in the illustrated embodiment without departing from either the spirit or the scope of the invention.

We finally have video of Karen Gillan having her wonderful head of hair shaved for her role as Nebula in Guardians Of The Galaxy.
It's just as adorable as you think it would be. Her face is such a variety of reactions and all of them are just so…her.
Head after the break to watch the video.

Linux* Support for Intel® NUC
Click or the topic for details:
Installation and configuration
Installing OpenElec or Ubuntu* on Intel® NUC Kit DN2820FYKH or DE3815TYKHE
The operating system installation document includes specific changes needed in the BIOS before installing Linux* on these Intel® NUCs.
Installing Linux Mint*
The Linux Mint Solution Guide describes how to build a home theater PC using Linux Mint.
Installing XBMC (open-source home theater software) on Ubuntu
In the Ubuntu Terminal, enter the following:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
See the XBMC Media Center for complete details on XBMC.
Intel® graphics Linux drivers
Linux drivers for Intel graphics are available at the Intel Open Source Technology Center.
Intel® WiFi adapter Linux drivers
See Linux support for Intel WiFi adapters for links to Linux drivers.
HDMI audio not working on Linux Mint 16* or Ubuntu
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
- Make sure that your system is up-to-date using the Update Manager.
- Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, and voice.
- In a Terminal window, run the following:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
- apt update
- apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms
- Reboot the system
HDMI audio not working on Fedora 20*
Update the kernel of Fedora 20 to the latest version (3.14.8 or later) to resolve this problem.
Error: line 34: fc-cache: not found
This error occurs when booting to OpenElec on the Intel® NUC Kit DN2820FYK, and is a known issue with the official release of OpenElec. Try the most recent beta builds to resolve the error.
Phantom display can be mistaken for a system hang
During Linux installations, you might not see the setup windows appear. This issue has been observed with Linux Mint 16, Ubuntu 13.10*, and Debian 7.3*. No video displays, but the system still appears to be active. This usually results in an inability to install Linux. Sometimes, if the installation is successful, the desktop appears to be blank (no icons or bottom panel).
This issue is caused when the primary display is set to a phantom display, usually 1024x768. Try the following workaround:
- Right-click the desktop and select Change Desktop Background.
- On the System Settings screen, select All Settings.
- In the Hardware section, select Display settings. You see a phantom 1024X768 display set as the default.
- Disable the phantom display.
Your HDMI connection becomes the primary display.
The Intel® NUC Kit D54250WYK infrared receiver does not work out of the box in Linux
The following workaround is available for 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 and OpenElec 3.2.3.
- Run these commands:
- cd
- cd .config
- nano autostart.sh
- Enter the following:
- #bin/sh
- modprobe -r nuvoton-cir
- echo "auto" > "/sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources"
- modprobe nuvoton-cir
- Press Ctrl+X and then press Y.
- Run these commands:
- chmod 755
- autostart.sh reboot

"We reaffirm our strong partnership with our NATO ally Turkey in combating the shared threat of terrorism" he said.
U.S. Ambasador to Turkey John Bass said in a tweet tha he was "deeply saddened and horrified by attack in Ankara."
Russian President Vladimir Putin also condemned the attack, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said March 13.
"Vladimir Putin condemns the brutal terrorist attack in Ankara… The Russian President mourns together with all the Turkish people, who suffered another terrorist attack, in connection with numerous human victims" Peskov told reporters.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "appalled."
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault described it as a "cowardly attack."

Calls-in-advanceSome shareholders pay a part or whole of the amount not yet called-up by the company. Such an amount is referred to as calls-in-advance.
The company may pay interest on such advances only if its Articles of Association authorize it to do so. However, if the articles remain silent, then the company, as per Table A, shall pay interest at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent p.a.
Since the amount is received in advance, it is a liability of the company and is shown in the liabilities side of the balance sheet under the head 'Share Capital' (but is not added to the amount of paid-up capital) or 'Current Liabilities'.
The amount received as calls-in-advance is not entitled to any dividend.
The journal entries for calls-in-advance are as follows:
Illustration 5
A Ltd. makes an issue of 10,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each payable as:
- On application: ₹ 3
- On allotment: ₹ 3
- On first and final call: ₹ 4 (3 months after allotment)
Applications are received for 13,000 shares and the directors made allotment in full to the applicants demanding five or more shares and returned money to the applicants for 3,000 shares. One shareholder, who was allotted 200 shares, paid the first and final call with allotment money and another shareholder did not pay allotment money on his 300 shares, but which he paid with the first and final call. The directors decided to charge and allow interest, as the case may be, according to the provisions of Table A. Journalize the transactions including cash transactions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to peek at my shop!

This hoodie sweater is amazing, unique, and so well done! Kudos to this talented Seamstress and her wonderful shop! My hoodie was shipped out the same day and arrived fast! I love the fact that this shop upcycles material/clothing, and creates a wonderful new item! I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy from again!
Linsey Skelly on Dec 26, 2016
These are fantastic! My husband says that she made them super quick and shipped them really fast.
Hope Floats on!
HopeFloatsUpcycled is a small business based in Seattle, WA and was founded in 2011 by me!
My Love for sweaters started when I was just a wee young girl. This may have a little to do with the fact that living in Seattle almost necessitates a sweater year round. :) I grew up sewing many of my dresses for school, and well, one magical day I came across some awesome up-cycled work on Etsy and it was love at first sight. My love for sewing and sweaters were combined into one!
I love to save the earth in any way I can, and most of all love to be unique. My husband says Im the freak flag in our relationship, and I have to agree. I love to be unique, its what makes the world interesting right? If you feel the same, then take a look around and feel at home :)

Additional policies and FAQs
All fabrics that have gone into creation of your pieces have been laundered prior to use.
Please make sure that you DO NOT Place your items in the wash unless I send you a note with your item that they are washer safe!
Most contain wool which will shrink! To keep your items looking their best you should carefully hand wash cold and lie flat to dry. So many different knits and fabrics go into these pieces that you can never be sure what might continue to shrink.
If you do decide to throw yours in the wash it is at your own risk!
