Thank you so much for having me as part of the Elements of Sorcery 2013 Tour--I really appreciate you hosting this interview. I'm giving away three full sets of the Elements of Sorcery so-far as part of the tour, so I hope that your readers will enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for their chance to win!
That was my first thought when consciousness returned. The second made me wrinkle my nose against the steady drops of water that fell upon it.
Realization crashed in.
My hands flew to my chest, poking and prodding my center of mass. The pain had vanished. I was lying in a rapidly-diluting pool of my own blood as cleansing rain poured through the worn thatching that covered the alley, but I was no longer losing any more precious life. I rummaged through my robes, but found only smooth skin where the blade had entered.
After a moment's panic, I found the heartblade caught up in one of the folds of my robe's sleeve, its light gone dark. I plucked it out and wrapped my fingers around it, carefully. On the ground beside me lay the silver manacle which had been clamped around my wrist, the sign of my servitude. It had broken into two pieces, with black scorches marking the shattered edges.
With careful precision, I checked the rest of myself. The large gold ring which clutched an amber gem had not moved from its place on the second finger of my left hand. My bag of tricks, consisting of several small magical artifacts which I'd imbued with various enchantments over the last several months, still hid away in a concealed pocket inside my robes. Whoever had killed me hadn't been interested in my trinkets and treasures—just my life.
A quick look around revealed no sign of other people nearby. The ambient light had vastly dimmed, but the sun had not yet set. The sunny day that I remembered had been replaced by the iron-gray storm clouds above.
For a moment, paralysis gripped my mind.
What have I done?
The haze clouding my vision pushed back at the edges, and I forced myself into an upright position. A rush of dizziness almost took me back down to the cobbles, but I managed to sit up straight and look around.
How much time had passed? I had no idea. I tucked the heartblade back into the leather case at my ankle, safely away into the velvet-lined interior. A brilliant warmth suffused me, I slowly realized, as though a hearth fire had been kindled at the very center of my being. In fact, I felt better than I had in years.
I flexed my fingers experimentally a few times, finding myself mostly unchanged. No immediate defects that made themselves apparent to my eyes, and as I at last climbed to my feet, the lingering haze of unconsciousness dissipated.
I glowered down at the broken silver manacle with every ounce of sneering contempt that I could muster. It had been my chain for six months. A shock collar to keep the good little lapdog in line. If only I'd known what I had agreed to when I'd accepted it, I might have chosen to starve on the streets instead.
Ah, what's the point in lying to myself? I'd never have nobly starved if there was another option available.
Gingerly, I picked up the blackened silver pieces and stuffed them into an inner pocket of my robe. The enchantment was gone from it now, but one never knew when pure silver might come in handy.
As I tucked away the broken manacle, a thought recurred. I stood on the street alive, but I was supposed to be dead.
"Black gods," I muttered under my breath. "Who did I piss off now?"
In that moment, a thought percolated its way through my mind. If I'd been left for dead in an alley, my assassin was convinced of my death. Indeed, there would have been no way for me to have survived such an assault, had I not been holding a trump card in reserve. Two things logically followed from this train of thought.
One, my assassin did not know about the heartblade that I carried, which meant my efforts to conceal it had been successful.
Second, the city of Selvaria thought I was dead.
A weird chuckling snort escaped me. "By gods," I murmured. A new glow, this time one of inspiration, warmed my mind. "I get to investigate my own murder!"

My husband and I are seriously considering relocating to Clearwater from PA in February. He was recently laid off from his job and if we have to start over it may as well be in a warm, sunny place. 3 questions: 1)Are the schools good? 2)What sections are most family oriented? 3)What is the unemployment situation like there? I am an Administrative Asst. and my husband is a printer. Any advice on search for a job from PA?

French Kicks Concert
Riding a wave of popularity for its playfully choreographed videos, wit and hyper-catchy pop hooks, OK Go has generated the kind of cult following and buzz most bands could only dream of. The group brought its wildly animated live show to Washington, D.C. for a full concert, originally webcast on NPR.org Nov. 19, 2006. They were joined by the post-punk inspired French Kicks.
OK Go formed in Chicago in 1998 and quickly built a strong local following, opening for acts like Elliott Smith and The Promise Ring. They also served as a house band for a traveling version of the public radio program This American Life. The band soon signed with Capitol Records and released a self-titled debut in 2002 which featured the hit "Get Over It." They followed with 2005's Oh No.
OK Go eventually distinguished itself from other pop-rock groups like The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand with ingenious creativity, a healthy sense of humor and two homemade music videos. The videos featured the band performing synchronized dances to the songs "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again." They became two of the most played videos of all time on MTV and VH1 and spawned countless fan tributes online. "Here It Goes Again" has been viewed more than 8-million times on the video-swapping site Youtube.com.
OK Go features Damian Kulash on vocals and guitar, Tim Nordwind on bass, Dan Konopka on drums and Andy Ross on guitar and keyboards.
French Kicks will open Sunday's live webcast. With members from Washington, D.C. and Brooklyn, French Kicks recently released their fourth album — a collection of new wave, post punk-inspired tunes called Two Thousand. Spin magazine calls it the band's most accomplished album to date, "refined and meticulously crafted."
French Kicks are: Nick Stumpf on lead vocals and keyboards, Josh Wise on vocals and guitar, Lawrence Stumpf on bass, Aaron Thurston on drums and Kush El Amin on guitar, keyboards and percussion.

I just upgraded a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought with 10.5 installed to Snow Leopard.
After doing the upgrade I am trying to access NTFS partitions on my external hard drive but they are just not showing up. I went ahead and installed Windows 7 using Parallels, and I can access the NTFS partitions from within Windows, but not from Mac OS X. I know that Snow Leopard should be able to at least read NTFS drives, so what is going on here?

Peppermint Oil
In this article
Benefits of Peppermint Oil
Several studies suggest that enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules -- which allow the oil to pass through the stomach so it can dissolve in the intestines -- may help relieve common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome such as abdominal pain, bloating, and gas. Non-enteric coated forms of peppermint oil, however, actually may cause or worsen heartburn and nausea.
Preliminary studies also suggest that dietary supplements containing a combination of peppermint oil and caraway oil may help relieve indigestion.
Side Effects of Peppermint Oil
In most adults, the small doses of peppermint oil contained in dietary supplements and skin preparations appear to be safe. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, should avoid such products because little is known about their safety during pregnancy and lactation.
Possible side effects of peppermint oil include:
- Heartburn
- Allergic reactions such as flushing, headache, and mouth sores
- Anal burning during bouts of diarrhea
Although enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules may reduce the risk of heartburn, their protective coating can break down more quickly and increase the risk of heartburn when taken at the same time as prescription and over-the-counter medications that decrease stomach acid and which are often used for heartburn or acid reflux. It's best to take such drugs at least two hours after taking enteric-coated peppermint oil products. A stomach condition called achlorhydria, in which the stomach doesn't produce hydrochloric acid, also may hasten the coating's breakdown. So people with the condition are advised against using peppermint oil.
Possible Drug Interactions With Peppermint Oil
Before taking peppermint oil, discuss the risks and benefits with your health care provider. Some supplements can interact with medicine. Interactions can be harmful or make medications not work as they should.
Be cautious about combining peppermint oil with certain drugs because it may inhibit the body's ability to metabolize the drugs and increase the risk of side effects.

Medline ® Abstract for Reference 35
of 'Treatment of pulmonary hypertension in adults'
Inhaled nitric oxide as a screening agent for safely identifying responders to oral calcium-channel blockers in primary pulmonary hypertension.
Sitbon O, Humbert M, Jagot JL, Taravella O, Fartoukh M, Parent F, Herve P, Simonneau G
Eur Respir J. 1998;12(2):265.
In a subset of patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), high doses of oral calcium-channel blockers (CCB) produce a sustained clinical and haemodynamic improvement. However, significant side-effects have been reported during acute testing with CCB. Therefore, to identify accurately patients who may benefit from long-term CCB therapy, there is a need for a safe, potent and short-acting vasodilator. The aim of this study was to compare the acute response to inhaled nitric oxide (NO) and oral high doses of CCB in 33 consecutive patients with PPH. A significant acute vasodilator response was defined by a fall in both mean pulmonary artery pressure and total pulmonary resistance by>20%. Ten patients responded acutely to NO, nine of whom responded acutely to CCB, without any complications. The 23 other patients failed to respond to NO and CCB. In these nonresponders, nine serious adverse events were observed with CCB (38%). There was no clinical or baseline haemodynamic feature predicting acute vasodilator response. Long-term oral treatment with CCB was restricted to the nine acute responders and a sustained clinical and haemodynamic improvement was observed in only six patients. In primary pulmonary hypertension, the acuteresponse rate to high doses of calcium-channel blockers is low (27%). Serious adverse reactions to high doses of calcium-channel blockers during acute testing are frequently observed in nonresponders. It is concluded that nitric oxide may be used as a screening agent for safely identifying patients with primary pulmonary hypertension who respond acutely to calcium-channel blockers and may benefit from long-term treatment with these agents.

The Archbishop Mitty Monarchs boy's basketball team was looking for their fourth straight Central Coast Section Title this past Saturday but not in the Division II bracket. Instead, this time it was for the inaugural Open Division bragging rights. The Monarchs had won 11 out of their last 12 games, coming into the big matchup against West Catholic League rival Serra. The Padres beat the Monarchs once this season, handing them their only league loss. Coming into the game, the Monarchs staged a fourth quarter semi-final comeback, their fifth come from behind victory this season. Serra played Sacred Heart Cathedral and led by as many as 22 points during the game, earning their way to the championship.
In Saturday's championship game between Serra and Mitty the Padres started off with the lead, while Mitty answered right back in the second quarter. The Monarchs took as much as an eleven point lead during the first half. However, Serra found their rhythm in the third going on a 10-0 run to take a 36-35 lead with just a few minutes left in the third quarter.
The Monarchs answered right away scoring the next five points and Mitty would not look back, winning 55 to 46. Aaron Gordon put up 25 points along with 23 rebounds in front of a jam packed Santa Clara University arena.
As big as Mitty's four-peat win is, they do not have any time to celebrate. The Monarchs will face a talented Newark Memorial team in the opening round of the NorCal Open Division. It's a rematch of last year's NorCal Division II title game. Newark boasts a strong defense and full court press, which challenges many elite teams. This game will be a fought battle between both squads, and both teams boast coaches who know how to get the job done.

Re: Future for Zync holders

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I was approved for the Zync close to two weeks ago. I have been using it for four whole days, charging close to $300. I called Amex, and the lady that spoke to me was confused. She said that the Zync cards has NOT been discontinued. I am not sure what is going on, but I am sure Amex will give a statement soon. Perhaps we would be PC to the Green....
Did you call the number on the back of your card or the number to apply for a new account. If it was the number on the back of your card, my guess is they have not gotten the news yet (Zync CS I think is a foreign call center). You would have to call the number to set up a new account which another poster did and the CSR told them they are not accepting anymore apps.
LOL - maybe you just accidentally hinted to the Zync CSR that job cuts might be coming up

Not Just on Sunday
February 19 to 21, 2016
We're rich, overbooked, comfortable. How in the world do we get ourselves off our collective duffs?
Isn't this what we all want? Really? We want to be a 24/7 disciple; we want to make a difference; we want our lives to matter; we want—to be radical for Jesus.
But at the same time, we're afraid. There are a lot of unknowns. It might cost too much. Perhaps it's not so much fear, but a feeling of being numb. Stuck in a routine. We're just too—comfortable—to do anything new.
And yet, we know something's missing. There's a joy that's missing.
Join Shane Claiborne, Nes Espinosa and other fellow sojourners as we explore what it looks like to live a vibrant Sunday through Saturday faith. To live as if Jesus meant what he said and was talking to us.
Discover spiritual practices that empower us to change the world. Work at the balance of being and doing. Join a Saturday afternoon track and dig deeper into practices that bring transformation.
And find that joy, the deep joy of following Jesus. Every day.
Presenters and performers
Online registration is closed but those who wish to attend can register at the event in Hesston Mennonite Church.
Recommended lodging

"Not Just Myrtle Beach" Top 5 Page for this destination Myrtle Beach by richiecdisc
Myrtle Beach Travel Guide: 336 reviews and 467 photos
Myrtle Beach is snidely referred to as the redneck Riviera due to its geographic location in the southern US and the preponderance of condominium buildings that dot its admitted beautiful sandy coastline. Though a tad overbuilt it presents itself well as a most welcoming family resort with every amenity a vacationer could need. But in the end it is not the leisure facilities that are most impressive but the natural beauty of the area itself. White sandy beaches and a clean warm ocean are the hallmarks of Myrtle Beach. More surprising is a fair amount of forest this close to the coast which makes man made attractions pale in comparison.

On pleasure and business I came here over 20 years. Even operated Carolina Shores in Calabash for 2-3 years. Even though way too crowded in summer, the rest of the year is fun and you fit right in to the culture, I found.
Your writing is wonderful.
looks idyllic and D looks chilled out ..I see mor eating than anything else!
Nice job! On grits, you got it part way. To make 'em more flavourful, crumble your bacon up in them. Some folks even mix in their eggs.
Ah, at least you could get out for a while, even if it was short. This place looks divine, I could stay there for ages, given my own "state" at the moment, lol :-)
I love a road trip in the US too (my ambition is to cross the country one day), and also love breakfast out when I'm there though haven't yet developed a taste for grits ;)
Right on Richie, road trips ARE 'freedom' and obviously what you needed for this break! I've driven past there many times but never had the chance to explore, so thanks for showing me what I missed. Hard to beat old friends, great digs and cold beers!

"Debs McCoy was a virtual recluse for almost 3 years due to crippling anxiety, panic & agoraphobia......These struggles propelled her back into making music and she's written & recorded over 150 songs during the past year alone. When she first made our Fresh Faves in July 2012 – a good while before she joined Team Freshnet herself – Simon Poole wrote: "Singer songwriters have it quite hard, the possibilities aren't really endless, are they? Thankfully from time to time someone like Debs McCoy will come along, make your ears prick up". Another pundit described her work as "Warm and engaging music from an exceptional musician and visual artist: both fascinating and painfully honest.."Oh hold on, that was me. But in case you suspect either of us of favouritism toward a friend and subsequent colleague, here's what Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins and Bella Union fame has to say about this music: "very beautiful, haunting and other worldly..I am a fan of what she is doing"

Threat, and Promise, in China's Software Industry
For more than a decade, American manufacturers have fretted over China's capacity for threatening their industries, from T-shirts to auto parts.
Now, many analysts say, China is poised to do the same with intellectual work. More and more Chinese companies are beginning to do advanced computer programming.
And China has the human resources to compete with the United States in the computer programming industry — the country graduates more than 100,000 programmers each year.

Not sure if it has to do with the Plugin but after I made one of the recent updates I see that my results snippet isn't displayed correctly (wanted to add screenshots but it's not possible as I see). If you go to the German version of google (www.google.de) and google for
kohlenhydrate tabelle
(without and dashes or "" etc) you should find my site http://www.kohlenhydrate-tabellen.com on first page, rank 1. You can see that the expression Kohlenhydrate Tabelle appears as "Kohlenhydrate TabelleKohlenhydrate Tabelle ..."
In the plugin settings under Title & Meta it seems ok.
Any solution available?? According to statistics it does some noticable damage to my traffic...
Thanks in advance!

Have just come across Ashton Shepherd's music in the last week or so - feels like she's about to break through big time (a bit like when Miranda Lambert's 'Kerosene' came out). Ordered both her albums on the www., the first of which arrrived yesterday and has had a lot of play already. There's a fair bit of interest in country music here in Scotland - and I suppose there should be given that, at least, some of the roots of the music can be traced back here - and, of course, Scotland for many Americans, is 'the old country'! However, we don't get many country artists touring over here. And so, I'm a kinda jealous that you guys have had a whole GAC TV show on Ashton Shepherd to watch. Any thoughts on this Alabama girl's music?

This invention relates generally to automotive lighting systems and, in particular, to an automotive lamp with multiple reflectors and multiple light sources.
Generally, conventional automotive lighting systems utilize filament bulbs as a lighting source. However, filament bulbs have many drawbacks, including high consumption of electrical power, the generation of great amounts of heat, and readily breakable filaments. Recently, due to these drawbacks, light emitting semiconductor devices (LESDs), such as light emitting diodes ("LEDs"), have been adapted for use in certain automobile lighting systems.
LEDs solve many of the problems associated with filament bulbs, because they emit light using a lower voltage and current than used by a filament bulb and are less prone to breakage. However, various other problems are associated with LEDs when used in automobile lighting systems. For example, an individual LED is limited in its forward lighting power, because the low voltage associated with LEDs results in less lighting power than a filament lamp. Moreover, LEDs use a substantially planar luminescent element which radiates high intensity light predominantly in the forward direction, and only minimal light energy is emitted toward the sides. Thus, parabolic reflectors are typically not as useful in increasing the amount of light directed in the axis of the reflector.
Accordingly, an LED's lighting power must be augmented when it is used in an automobile lighting system, such as a headlamp or a tail light. A headlamp requires that there be enough forward lighting power to illuminate the road and to meet the governmental restrictions placed on headlamps regarding the placement, brightness, and photometrics for such lamps. Further, LEDs used in tail lights are required to have enough lighting power to call attention to vehicles that the car ahead of them is stopping, in accordance with government regulations.
In order to augment the light emitted from a device comprising LEDs, it is generally necessary to combine a plurality of LED lamps into a single lighting device. The problem that has arisen with this solution is that of finding a way to combine a plurality of LEDs into a single lighting device of limited size, which is still capable of making a concentrated light beam that meets the specific intensity, beam spread, power consumption and size requirements of the industry. For example, the combination of two or more separate LED lamps within a single parabolic reflector as a means to increase the emitted light intensity results in projection of multiple separate beams with dark intermediate zones. This is not acceptable in a vehicle headlamp.
A second potential solution includes the use of multiple LEDs, each LED having its own reflector. This solution has not been acceptable in the past because the overall size limitation for the lighting device forces each individual reflector to be reduced in size, resulting in projected beams with unacceptably large individual divergences. Moreover, as the number of LEDs is increased, the amount of heat generated by the LEDs increases. Therefore, due to the size limitations on an automotive lighting system device, a need exists for an automotive lighting system that efficiently combines a plurality of LEDs into a single, compact lighting device while providing for dissipation or removal of excess heat generated by the lighting system.
One approach to solving the problem of light intensity is found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,782,553 to McDermott ("the '553 patent"). The '553 patent discloses the use of a concave reflector to collect and concentrate light from a plurality of light sources. According to the '553 patent, the light sources are embedded into various quadrants of a transparent medium such that emitted light passes through the medium and reflects off of a single concave reflector at the rear of the quadrants of the medium. The reflected light then passes back through the medium and finally exits the medium as a single beam of light. Accordingly, great care is needed in selecting an appropriate medium, as poor transmissivity of the medium will deleteriously affect the ultimate goal of increased light intensity. Notwithstanding the care taken in selecting the transparent medium, the '553 patent contemplates significant transmission losses (up to 25%) in practicing the invention therein. It would be beneficial to obtain the benefit of multiple light sources without incurring the transmission losses as contemplated by the '553 patent.
Another approach is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,412,971 B1 to Wojnarowski et al. ("the '971 patent"). The '971 patent discloses a substrate upon which a number of LESDs are arranged. According to the '971 patent, reflector components may be used in conjunction with the LESDs, much in the same way that reflector components are used with a filament bulb. Specifically, the reflector components extend upwardly and outwardly from the surface of the LESDs or the base of the LESDs if it is desired to reflect light emitted from the sides of the LESDs. In either application, however, the LESDs and their mountings are directly viewable. It would be advantageous, if the light source and its mounting were hidden from view so as to be more aesthetically pleasing.
It is desirable, therefore, to provide a multiple light source without incurring excessive transmission losses. Moreover, it is desired that the light assembly present an aesthetically pleasing form. It would be further advantageous if the light assembly could be formed into a variety of shapes and patterns. It would also be advantageous if the light assembly provided for dissipation of heat generated by the light source.
In accordance with the present invention, a light assembly is provided which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. According to the present invention, LESDs are mounted opposite to the reflective side of a reflector. A plurality of reflectors are arranged in an overlapping fashion such that the light emitted from the LESD of one reflector is directed to the reflective surface of an underlying reflector. In this fashion, a number of LESDs may be incorporated into a lighting device in a variety of patterns while maintaining the LESDs and their mountings hidden from view. Moreover, the reflectors may be used as cooling fins to dissipate heat generated from the LESDs or to direct the heat to a heat sink.
The invention provides a light assembly which may include a number of light sources without incurring excessive transmission losses. Moreover, the light assembly presents an aesthetically pleasing form since the light sources and their mountings are hidden from view. Additionally, the light assembly may be constructed in a variety of patterns. Moreover, the light assembly may easily be configured to dissipate heat generated from the LESDs or to direct the heat to a heat sink.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a reflector and light source in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of two nested reflectors in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective side view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic top plan view of a vehicle lighting assembly in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a schematic top plan view of an alternative vehicle lighting assembly in a wing design in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a schematic top plan view of an alternative vehicle lighting assembly in a multiple circle design in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a reflector for use in a lamp assembly in accordance with the present invention. Although reflector 102 in this embodiment comprises a parabolic reflector formed into a generally elliptical shape, the present invention includes within its scope the use of other shapes of reflectors. For example, in applications wherein collimation of light rays is not desired, a generally flat or convex reflector may be used. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, when used with LEDs it may be preferred to use a concave shape, such as, but limited to, a generally parabolic shape, in order to better focus or even collimate light rays from the light source. Reflector 102 comprises reflecting side 104 and opposite side 106. Light source 108 is shown arranged upon opposite side 106. Focal point F1 of reflector 102 is located outwardly of reflecting side 104. Focal point F1 is a function of the prescription of reflector 102.
Light source 108 in this embodiment comprises an LED. When using an LED, power may be supplied by a number of means well known in the art. For example, a conductive grid may be established upon opposite side 106. Alternatively, the material used to give reflectance to reflective side 104 may be used to provide electric coupling. This may be accomplished in a number of ways. For example, if a reflective layer of material is applied to a substrate, the material may be extended through the substrate at specific locations so as to provide power through the substrate to the surface of opposite side 106. Alternatively, reflector 102, including opposite side 106, may comprise a conductive material. In this alternative example, the LED may be directly connected at one terminal to opposite side 106 such as by solder or conductive adhesive, and an insulated line provided at the other terminal of the LED for electric coupling. These alternative methods of providing power and others are within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, those of skill in the art will recognize that the present invention may be practiced with a variety of different light sources including, but not limited to, LESDs and filament light bulbs.
According to one embodiment of the invention, reflectors in accordance with the present invention are arranged in a radial pattern with each one overlapping the next in such a manner so as to hide the focal point of the reflectors from direct view (in front of the lamp). This is shown in FIG. 2, where reflector 110 has been arranged such that light source 112, which is arranged on opposite side 114 of reflector 110, is located substantially at focal point F1 of reflector 102.
FIG. 3 shows a side plan view of light assembly 300 which comprises a number of reflectors arranged in a radial, nested fashion, with each reflector overlapping the next. Even though opposite side 114 of reflector 110 is shown from this perspective, light source 112 is not visible, as opposite side 106 of reflector 102 conceals light source 112.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a front plan view of light assembly 300 is shown. From this perspective, light source 108 is hidden from view by reflecting side 104. Similarly, the light sources on the other reflectors are not visible from this perspective, since only the reflecting sides of the reflectors are visible.
According to an alternative embodiment, a plurality of light sources may be used. This is shown in FIG. 5, which is a perspective view of light assembly 500. Light sources 502 are mounted on opposite sides 504 of reflectors 506. When using a number of light sources, it is contemplated that the shape of the reflectors 506 will be modified so as to optimize the light reflected. Light sources 502 are visible in FIG. 5 because of the perspective angle shown. When light assembly 500 is viewed from the direction of the reflected beam, light sources 502 are not visible.
Those of skill in the art will recognize that as the number of light sources increases, the amount of energy generated by the combined light sources also increases. According to one embodiment of the present invention, reflectors 506 comprise a thermally conductive material. Thus, a heat sink or coolant device may be thermally coupled to reflectors 506 so as to eliminate excess heat.
Those of skill in the art will recognize that in accordance with the present invention, the shape of the reflectors and the overall shape of the lamp could be varied to generate a variety of unique appearances, provided that the optical and photometric requirements of the lamp are still satisfactory. One such appearance is shown in FIG. 6. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, all reflectors 602 need not have light sources arranged upon the side opposite the reflecting side. Yet another example of a unique appearance is shown in FIG. 7, wherein reflectors of varying sizes are incorporated into a circular design. Depending on the desired design, it may be useful to incorporate reflectors of various prescriptions, thus allowing for variation in the spacing between the reflectors while maintaining the light source of the overlapping reflector to be substantially at the focal point of the underlying reflector.
Those of skill in the art will realize that as described herein, the present invention provides significant advantages over the prior art. The invention provides a light assembly which may include a number of light sources without incurring excessive transmission losses. Moreover, the light assembly presents an aesthetically pleasing form since the light sources and their mountings are hidden from view. Additionally, the light assembly may be constructed in a variety of patterns. Moreover, the light assembly may easily be configured to dissipate heat generated from the LESDs or to direct the heat to a heat sink.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to certain exemplary embodiments thereof, such are offered by way of non-limiting example of the invention, as other versions are possible. It is anticipated that a variety of other modifications and changes will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art and that such modifications and changes are intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
