An iPod 'accessory' Dick Clark can love - Business - Small ....

The One More Time jukebox was a replica of Wurlitzer’s own iconic 1015 model that was originally manufactured in the middle 1940’s. Our replica was call the "One More Time" and it was offered in both a CD and 45 RMP Vinyl player format version. I had negotiated with Apple to implement a built in iPod port to our systems to provide the consumer to use the jukebox as a port to also play their digital music.

Method and Apparatus for Purchasing and Dispensing Products ...
www.faqs.org/patents/app/20090272799
This is part one of a two part voluminous patent. It is a process and electronic patent that allow for a remote point of sale from the actual dispensing point. A machine can be used to protect small, high valued items from theft and shrinkage. It can also be used to manage controlled substances such as over the counter drugs. The consumer pays the standard POS system in a retail store, but the item is collected from the machine as they depart.

2013 was the inaugural year for this event. It will become Barrington’s biggest most high profile event of the year, year-after-year. It was Doug Skor’s idea, he chairs the committee of nearly 25 volunteers, and have been in development for over two years now. The first year was a three day event; however, by year two it is planned that this will become a 10 day event.

Algonquin Longhouse

This group was on the brink of disaster. It’s former sponsor wanted to eliminate the rich culture of what made the program so successful for 80 years prior. I led the break away to secure it rich history and put it on course so that it can be enjoyed by many for many decades to come. The Algonquin Longhouse is a great legacy of some of my finest volunteer work.
