Tulsa /ˈtʌlsə/ is the second-largest city in the state of Oklahoma and 47th-most populous city in the United States. As of July 2014, the population was 399,682, an increase of 7,776 over that reported in the 2010 Census. It is the principal municipality of the Tulsa Metropolitan Area, a region with 961,561 residents in the MSA and 1,131,458 in the CSA. The city serves as the county seat of Tulsa County, the most densely populated county in Oklahoma, with urban development extending into Osage, Rogers, and Wagoner counties.
Tulsa was settled between 1828 and 1836 by the Lochapoka Band of Creek Native American tribe. For most of the 20th century, the city held the nickname "Oil Capital of the World" and played a major role as one of the most important hubs for the American oil industry.
Once heavily dependent on the oil industry, economic downturn and subsequent diversification efforts created an economic base in the energy, finance, aviation, telecommunications and technology sectors. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa, at the head of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, is the most inland river port in the U.S. with access to international waterways. Two institutions of higher education within the city have sports teams at the NCAA Division I level, Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa.
Tulsa is a collection of black-and-white photographs by Larry Clark of the life of young people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its publication in 1971 "caused a sensation within the photographic community", leading to a new interest in autobiographical work.
Later better known for directing the movie Kids, Clark was a Tulsa native and a drug addict during the period (1963–1971) when he took the photographs. The book is prefaced by the statement:
Tulsa, Clark's first book, was published in 1971 by Lustrum Press, owned by Ralph Gibson. It has been claimed that thanks to Gene Pitney's 1960 song "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa", Tulsa then represented "young love and family values"; Clark's book challenged this with scenes of young people having sex, shooting up drugs, and playing with guns.
Clark has said that he "didn't take these photographs as a voyeur, but as a participant in the phenomenon", and commentary on the book has emphasized how Clark did not just live with the teenagers portrayed but "did drugs with them, slept with them, and included himself in the photographs"; this conferred an authenticity on the work, which brought it great praise.

An electrical cable is made of two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted, or braided together to form a single assembly, the ends of which can be connected to two devices, enabling the transfer of electrical signals from one device to the other. Cables are used for a wide range of purposes, and each must be tailored for that purpose. Cables are used extensively in electronic devices for power and signal circuits. Long-distance communication takes place over undersea cables. Power cables are used for bulk transmission of alternating and direct current power, especially using high-voltage cable. Electrical cables are extensively used in building wiring for lighting, power and control circuits permanently installed in buildings. Since all the circuit conductors required can be installed in a cable at one time, installation labor is saved compared to certain other wiring methods.
The term originally referred to a nautical line of specific length where multiple ropes, each laid clockwise, are then laid together anti-clockwise and shackled to produce a strong thick line, resistant to water absorption, that was used to anchor large ships. In mechanics, cables, otherwise known as wire ropes, are used for lifting, hauling, and towing or conveying force through tension. In electrical engineering cables are used to carry electric currents. An optical cable contains one or more optical fibers in a protective jacket that supports the fibers.
Cable were a British indie rock band originally from Derby, UK who released 3 albums in the late '90s: Down-Lift the Up-Trodden ('96), When Animals Attack ('97), and Sub-Lingual ('99), on Infectious Records. The band split up in 1999.
Formed in 1992 by Matt Bagguley and Darius Hinks, Cable were initially inspired by the art-rock leanings of indie-labels such as Touch and Go, Dischord, Blast First, Southern Records and Shimmy Disc, and also UK artists such as Spacemen 3 & My Bloody Valentine. The first settled line-up was Matt Bagguley (vocals/guitar), Darius Hinks (guitar), Pete Darrington (bass), Neil Cooper (drums) and throughout 1993 the band played regularly with underground acts from the U.S (such as Medicine, Polvo, Truman's Water, Rocket From The Crypt..) In early '94 their debut single "Sale of the Century" was released on 7", by Derby-based indie-label Krunch! Records. Radio 1 DJ John Peel played it immediately on his show saying it was the best thing he'd heard that week and phoned the band during the show to invite them to record a session. John Peel remained a loyal fan from that moment on, and altogether the band recorded 4 Peel Sessions.
Cable (Nathan Summers) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with X-Force and the X-Men. Nathan Summers is the adult son of the X-Man Cyclops (Scott Summers) and Madelyne Pryor (Jean Grey's clone), and the half brother of Rachel Summers, from a possible future timeline, having being transported as an infant to the future, where he grew into a warrior, before returning to the present. The character first appeared as a newborn infant in Uncanny X-Men #201 (Jan. 1986), created by writer Chris Claremont, while Cable's adult identity was created by writer Louise Simonson and artist/co-writer Rob Liefeld, and first appeared in The New Mutants #87 (March 1990).
The character's first appearance was in The New Mutants #86 (Feb. 1990). He does not appear anywhere in the issue's story, but the "next issue" teaser includes a small drawing of the character. This was followed by a full appearance in The New Mutants #87 (March 1990). Though the artist Rob Liefeld is responsible for his visual design, name, and much of his personality, it is claimed that Cable also got some inspiration from editor Bob Harras. Liefeld explains the creation of the character:

Looks like once upon a time, Tulsa Cable had their own movie/general entertainment channel. The movie du jour was the 1949 war classic, "Twelve O'Clock High"...and it looks like all their movies were sourced from the old (Tulsa based!) VCI Home Video. Better yet, the sole sponsor was a local electronics store, who used every opportunity to plug their home video gear. Thrill to locally-produced ads for the RCA Selectavision 650, the Technicolor CVC and the Sony AG-300 videotape changer (for your top-loading Betamax). This may very well be one of my all-time favorite postings. All I know is this aired on a Wednesday (midday) sometime during the Spring of 1981. ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED
Whether or not this was (Tulsa Cable's) premiere of the short-lived quasi-smut "Escapade" channel (read: the stuff that ran at less-reputable Drive-In's during the '70's) is anyone's guess. Regardless, this is probably the earliest surviving clip of that channel. NOTE: The Escapade promo gets a little too hot for YT after the first few seconds, I've conveniently cut it off at just the right moment. A complete version of it (which seemed to be the same one for the channel's entire existence) can be found at http://archive.org/details/@oddity_archive ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED
Yeah, I know this sign-off is already on YouTube about 1,000,000,000 over. Enjoy this one for the slightly premature end of the sign-off (must've been the end of somebody's shift) and the (premium channels only) programming scroll from our friends at Tulsa Cable. And, yes, those Muzak renditions of Leo Sayer's "When I Need You" and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" are absolutely glorious--change my mind. This aired in the overnight hours of Sunday, July 19 going into Monday, July 20, 1981. ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED (no matter how warbly)
What's that? You say you didn't get enough "as-is" merchandise on "The Auction"? Here's three times as much! How about now? Highlight: a crew member walks nonchalantly through host Layla's shot at 1:51.

The state department of transportation is tearing up a road improvement that was only finished two years ago.
Finally getting the new cable on the Tulsa Winch on my welding truck. And making a thingy that is supposed to keep tension on the cable so it won't birds nest. 3 Parts to this series.

Well, this is one of the stranger and more cryptic things I've ever found. The tape was labeled as simply "U-505 Capture"--which I can only guess means it's a dub of an archived U-Matic tape. Anyway, we've got a mostly complete (possibly paid programming) "talk show" featuring an English, self-professed "psychic medium" as the guest of honor. Of course, she treats a few willing participants to a (conveniently vague) psychic encounter--complete with the ailments of anyone that passes into her psyche. This (presumably) aired over Tulsa Cable sometime in 1981. ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED (though who would ever own up to this one?)
