Surf waves of action and violence in epic South Korean thriller THE YELLOW SEA! Na Hong-jin, the South Korean director of THE CHASER, returns with another nerve-wracking, stomach-churning action epic! THE YELLOW SEA tells of a debt-ridden Korean-Chinese taxi driver who goes to Seoul to bump off a gangster and also look for his absent wife, who moved there to find work. But a chain of unexpected events sends him running for his own life. At last year's Cannes Film Festival THE YELLOW SEA whipped the audience into a laughing, clapping frenzy -- thanks largely to its thrilling, virtuosic chase sequences! Variety calls the movie "pulse-pounding, mordantly funny" but adds that it is "serious and full-bodied enough to achieve a genuinely tragic dimension." Fasten your seatbelts on Friday or Saturday when we premiere it in a 35mm color & scope print! Here's the British trailer. Asghar Farhadi's FIREWORKS WEDNESDAY is 2006 Iranian marital drama FIREWORKS WEDNESDAY, the third feature by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (A SEPARATION), looks at modern, middle-class marriage in Iran against the backdrop of the Persian New Year. A betrothed young woman is drawn into a heated domestic dispute involving the couple she cleans for. Is the husband carrying on an affair with the divorced beauty-shop owner who lives next door? The truth comes out in a series of blistering exchanges. See this acclaimed 2006 movie on Thursday or Friday. Bohemian hides illegal immigrant from the cops in wry, funny, humane LE HAVRE For his first feature in five years, Finland's droll master of working-class comedy Aki Kaurismäki forsakes his familiar turf for the French port city of LE HAVRE. There a poor, aging, but happy bohemian working as a shoeshine man decides to hide a young African boy from the French authorities. (The child is an illegal immigrant hoping to get to London.) Working with a superb French-Finnish cast, Kaurismäki crafts a warm, funny, humanistic parable of contemporary Europe, as well as a loving tribute to classic French cinema (Melville, Renoir, Carné, Guédiguian). LE HAVRE is one of the most acclaimed movies of the past year. Don't miss it when it returns to the Cinematheque for one more screening on Saturday! 1944 ghost story THE UNINVITED is one of Martin Scorsese's all-time "scariest" Lewis Allen's spooky THE UNINVITED came in at #3 on Martin Scorsese's 2009 list of the "11 Scariest Horror Movies of All Time." This atmospheric 1944 chiller tells of a brother and sister (Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey) who buy an old Gothic mansion on the rocky Cornwall coast for an unusually low price. They soon discover why it was so cheap. This eerie classic, which has similarities with Hitchcock's REBECCA, has never been officially released on DVD in the U.S. Victor Young's lush music score produced the popular standard "Stella by Starlight." The Time Out Film Guide calls THE UNINVITED "an impressive supernatural thriller," commenting that it "tightens the screws of tension to genuinely frightening effect." You're invited to shudder along to it on Thursday or Friday. Just announced: potent Polish Oscar nominee IN DARKNESS to show on June 4 Agnieszka Holland's 2011 Polish drama IN DARKNESS was not only one of the five nominees for this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. It is also one of the most gripping and spectacular movies of recent memory. But the film opened at the Cedar Lee during the 36th Cleveland International Film Festival, so many lovers of international cinema missed it. For this reason the Cinematheque is bringing IN DARKNESS back to Cleveland for one show on Monday, June 4, at 7:00 pm. Regular admission prices apply. The film has an impressive average score of 74 (out of 100) on metacritic.com.

Dry Orange Chillies on the Table
I will say first that there is something very irritating about these …..too stiff or something, too scratchy?
Size 6″ x 6″ These have been admired so I have posted them for sale on Etsy my shop is Lemonaday of course.
The peppers came from a market in Shoreham, I bought them from the grower and they were the prettiest thing to be had. This picture (above) is quite recent the next one is a pen and ink with wash of some fresh chillies selected from the box, it actually should come shortly after a similar sort of sketch done last autumn (#211, October 2013).
You know what these look like? Rambutans thats what!
6″ x 6″ approx
This one is recent; rambutans- I bought them on a whim because they looked so bonkers.They are the weirdest of weird tropical fruit as well as coming up on "Pointless" as quite a good answer. The only exotic fruit that beat them was akee which you pretty much have to be Caribbean to know. Akee also looks and tastes a little like scrambled egg when it is cooked which is why it is served with salt cod, not entirely fruity really.
For those as yet unhooked by Pointless, it is a BBC quiz where you have to try and get the answers that are least known in the general population. That's why I love it when food and plants come up because I know those subjects. If, as is normal, there is a question on cricket, football or F1 I am stumped. I get a lot of pleasure from wondering who would be the ideal partner for this quiz, someone whose knowledge filled in the gaps in mine.
Going back to the rambutans they tasted a little like muscat grapes or a cross between that and lychee.
Pear, Plum, Apples, season of mellow fruitfulness.
size 15cm x 30cm, 6″ x 12″ approx.
There was to be a mornings painting of fruit with lovely aunt but she, not being able to concentrate as well as before, ate the still life!!
Rhubarb from the Allotment
size 12in x 6in, 30cm x 15cm approx. copyright alison warner
This is a stick of rhubarb, it looks a lot like a strange tree with a pink trunk.
It was delicious and pretty to eat, forcing seemed to bring out the redness. It is hard to classify rhubarb, it is treated as a fruit in the kitchen, but is a stem so it is really a vegetable; not only that, it is a vegetable with poisonous leaves which have to be removed before cooking. I wonder what would happen if you sliced it into thin pieces and stir fried it with other vegetables….in a savoury dish would it be tasty or inedible?
Hm ( I just googled for recipes) there are savoury recipes out there for rhubarb but mostly it looks like they are using it to replace orange or apple or plum as a combination to offset the fattiness of mackerell,duck or pork. Wikipedia also points out that it was not used as fruit until sugar became cheap enough to cook with on an everyday basis. In the middle ages it was exported along the silk road and very valuable as a medicine ( they must have set great store by its laxative properties apparently- it was more valuable than opium or cinnamon).
Three more blushing pears
size 8in x 6in 20cm x 15cm
Wonders will never cease to flow across the barren landscape of my existence…lovely aunt has a good report from the doctor, DIY dad has done a tip run, the town councillors don't like the sound of new neighbours monster house development, and the thin practice nurse's dire predictions for me turn out to be unfounded as yet, in other words I am not particually unhealthy just rather tubby.

There, I finally did another painting, I started it yesterday evening and luckily got straight back onto it after breakfast this morning which would not usually be possible. The rest of the day has been swallowed up in other peoples trips and visits and unexpected double bookings. Then just as I was actually doing something useful getting stuck into a bramble root, the new neighbours walked through to the back of the house and stood there calling me over as though we actually knew each other. I say the new neighbours, they could be the developers who wish to double the next door house in size taking masses of our sunlight. There was rather a lot of emphasis on their neighbourly status which has made me wonder why they feel the need to stress it. They have not moved in and tell me they will not do so until after the summer……he presented a card and tells me he is a builder. As most of the builders I have met since we moved here have lied to me in an accomplished and persistant way I am feeling very nervous indeed.
Spots on a spherical object are a challenge. I feel they are too prominant in this picture but the idea was to get both the spots and the bloom, which dark plums so often have, on the page. Its a bit technicolour, I am having a really bad run of not liking my paintings. I did one in oils and, while I enjoyed the smell, I was outraged by the result- too horrific for the blog.
I do think this is a painting which is flattered by the scan and the screen. Honestly it is worse in real life.
The garden is on a roll, the Daphne bhuloa is nearly finished, the D. odora is opening, the small daffodils are all out and some big ones too. There are hyacinth, the honey smelling Osmanthus blooms , and even the first forget-me-not. The little camellia which I bought is still tiny but this year it is covered in blooms…single small white blooms with a whiff of pink. There are flower buds on a tree paeony which has never managed a flower yet, I can live in hope on some fronts. Dogstooth violet and foxtail lilies are poking through the ground so its possible they will reflower and flower respectively and establish themselves in the shady part of the garden.
The corner of the garden planted up two years ago( I think )is now a tangled mass of self sown Verbena bonariensis, Geum and bronze fennel; but look inbetween and underneath…. there are brambles germinating, twitch grass lacing and ivy creeping. There are also masses of Hypericum seedlings which I pull out on sight but am losing the battle with at the moment.
Talking of lacy effects I was passing a municipal bed on a slightly misty but bright day and there was a bed with wonderful spires of creamy lace erupting everywhere…winter ornamental cabbage going to seed – it looks fantastic.
Pear leaf
This is a tiny picture the leaf is painted at about lifesize.
Summer holidays: life one long round of slogging round Sainsburys and prising children off their electronic boxes. There are nice flowers in the garden but for some reason I am painting the leaves that fall from the little pear tree.
Only two more episodes of the Hour left to run….I could cry. If Hector is to be believed then my dad must have been in MI6 as I swear his raincoat, or gaberdine as he might have called it, looked just like the one worn by the ill-fated Mr Kish. He always seem to wear it with a trilby which is still a good look in my book, but then he was always hopelessly out of date only giving up wearing trourers with turn-ups when Oxford bags came in in the seventies…ie when they revived a look he had finally had enough of it and submitted to modernity…well almost… he wasn't going to update the shoes or vests you understand.
Blue food and Beetroot a painting a day
These are the best blueberries I have ever grown. The secret is to keep the perishing birds off without netting the birds and perishing them.
A painting!
this painting can be bought from ( apologies for photo on ETSY page there is a glitch):
Beetroot in a bunch
22cm x 15cm, 9″ x 6″
There is very little time in the day when there are so many plants to water and crops to pick, I do not try and grow beetroot as I am the only person besides lovely aunt who really likes it, so these are bought and no less pretty for it.
The allotment has peas and beans in astonishing variety at the moment, diy dad has dug out his early carrots and the maincrop carrots are coming up. I have a forest of flat leaved parsley in the salad bed and the first tomatoes are ripening. The first autumn cyclamen is out as well….excuse me but the proms are only just begun, cyclamen???

Written last night :
There's nothing like being rung up and told that your child was due in school after a bleary breakfast when you dragged yourself out of bed only to be convinced half way through ( too late to enjoy going back to bed of course) that it was actually an inset day. We were sceptical and checked the school website…it was an inset day….I retrieved dinner money and set a revision paper….but the noble souls who teach my son were working through their inset day ( as well as doing the training presumably), in order to sort out the knotty bits that need to be fixed before the exams, they phoned to complain after the event. Damn, blast and double blast. All revision that occurs outside home and doesn't involve major complaint sessions within earshot is worth real money in my book and today the money just rolled down the drain. I was humiliated and bound to apologise abjectly , as I lowered the receiver I turned to the snivelling brat responsible…….
Last night and the night before we had a barbeque…as it was glorious again today a hat-trick was suggested…it's that dreaded call, " I'm on the TRAIN and I think we should have a BARBEQUE!". I'd run out of ideas and cholesterol capacity so got trout from the supermarket and put them in a fish gadget which holds them together. They looked very enticing with the skins scorched and curled, bread, lemons and salad were all that were needed. The day time temperature on a north facing wall has been up to and above twenty -three days running so it has been warm enough to sit out until dusk.
Last night I saw a pair of bats chasing each other, today I saw an orange tip butterfly the first in a few years. I am trying really hard to catch up on weeding and planting…I made some grim rotting corpse type discoveries in the shed, improper storage/extreme cold has cost me a very fine dahlia and some so so ones and a Colocasia .I will leave the final excavation until I am feeling braver.
There are quite a few losses in the garden from this time last year, the raspberry scented Salvia is all gone, the Dryas colony has died ( calls itself an alpine too), a pretty delicate Hebe is toast or rather kindling and a delicate south African Rhodoxis? has turned to dust ( I am almost sure). I've lost all the Siberian wallflowers including a good looking cutting. I also lost most of the seedling Hellebores from last year but that was drought last summer not the cold. More hedge is succumbing to the honey fungus and so are the potentillas…however they are producing insane numbers of seedlings. I can't believe it when they were so hard to grow from seed originally.
Lovely aunt is enjoying the good weather and the barbeques at which she claims to be an almost complete novice…I can't believe she has missed everyone of the barbies we have transported to my mothers house in the past and cooked for the extended family; she was always at weekend gatherings there until my cousins whisked her off in a hurry to the cleaner air in Hampshire. Her description of this to the G.P. had the G.P. 's eyes doing that " you are kidding me " thing at me. I ended up muttering "don't go there" as it is all very distressing for her still. I can't tell their side of the story as they refuse to discuss it.
I have tucked some sprigs of rosemary and Siberian Wallflower (taken from mothers magnificent plant…how come…oh never mind) into the cuttings pot to try and get some new plants. The seedlings of Tiarella which I put out in the shady area last year are looking fantastic, fresh green plants which are starting to merge into effective ground cover (effective free groundcover). The apples are starting to come into flower Owen Thomas two days ago and Katy today.
Onwards to the next barbeque day….
#172 a painting a day by Alison Warner on her lemon a day art blog
Winter apples
These apples are for cooking with in winter I think that they may be Calville Blanc d'Hiver.
Today I reheated the Oxtail stew I started yesterday, it was lush, lovely aunt ate until she was full. We have heard nothing from Social Services about setting up a meeting which is annoying.

Steve Carell and his wife Nancy are writing and producing a comedy pilot for TBS, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show, titled Tribeca, will focus on Angie Tribeca, a 10-year vet on the L.A.P.D.'s Really Heinous Crimes Unit. Described as a single-camera show, Tribeca will also feature a cast of "eccentric but brilliant" characters, who have no social filters despite the seriousness of their jobs. Carell will direct the pilot.
Closing Time: Saying Goodbye to 'The Office'
The actor has been keeping busy since he made his surprise appearance in the series finale of The Office earlier this year. Earlier this year, he starred in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone opposite Jim Carey and will reprise his Anchorman role as weatherman Brick Tamland in the movie's sequel, due out this December. This is the second show Carell's landed in the last few weeks. In early October, his production company, Carousel, recently teamed with Fox for an unscripted competition series, Slide Show, which will pit celebrities and comedians against one another.

Passengers denied payouts for flight delays caused by technical faults CAN have their case reviewed, regulator says
By Adam Uren
Passengers denied compensation by airlines for lengthy flight delays caused by technical faults can have their case retrospectively reviewed in the wake of a landmark court case, the UK's air regulator has said.
The Civil Aviation Authority has said that passengers can ask airlines to review their compensation claims in the wake of a Court of Appeal ruling last week that states airlines cannot reject claims for delays of longer than three hours caused by technical defects.
It followed Jet2 denying passenger Ron Huzar compensation when his flight from Manchester to Malaga was delayed by 27 hours because of a wiring defect.
Ruling: Jet2 were unsuccessful in their appeal against a court ruling that could pave the way for millions to claim flight delay compensation.
Jet2 had claimed that under EU laws setting out compensation guidelines, this defect constituted 'extraordinary circumstances' that allows them to deny claims. However, the judges ruled that such faults are 'inherent in the running of an airline' and as such cannot be considered extraordinary.
The case could open the door to hundreds of thousands of claims for up to €600 being submitted by passengers previously turned down by airlines.
However, Jet2 has already announced its intention to appeal again against the decision, this time by taking it to the Supreme Court, and the CAA has warned that airlines might delay processing claims until the outcome of that case.
A CAA statement said: 'The Court of Appeal ruled that ordinary technical problems that cause flight disruption, such as component failure and general wear and tear, should not be considered "extraordinary circumstances".
'This means that airlines can only cite technical faults as a reason for not paying compensation if the fault was originally caused by an event that was "out of the ordinary".
'So technical faults such as a part on the aircraft failing before departure will generally not be considered extraordinary circumstances.
'The effect of the judgement is that new claims should be assessed by airlines in the light of the judgement; claims previously put to an airline can be reconsidered in the light of the judgement, if the passenger wishes, unless the passenger agreed a settlement with the airline.
'However, claims that have already been decided by a court cannot be taken back to court unless they are within the time limit for an appeal.'
The CAA initially caused consternation among passenger representatives on Friday when they said that rejected claims could not be retrospectively reviewed in the wake of the Huzar case.
However, after checking the law again, it changed its stance.
A spokesman said: 'The CAA apologises that our earlier advice was not clear. We will contact passengers who have previously sought our help to provide advice on the matter. The CAA will also provide guidance on the judgment to airlines.'

Sohail, Bazmee likely to team up for remake
Varinder Chawla
"I was in Cochin and I just had a causal chat with Sohail Khan. If things fall in place, then we both will collaborate and make a film together. But it's too early to talk about it right now," Bazmee told us on phone from Cochin.
He added: "Right now Sohail is busy with 'Sher Khan' and I am busy with 'No Entry Mein Entry'. Once we are done with our films, we may talk about it."
If reports are to be believed Sohail and Bazmee will come together for the remake of a southern movie.
But Bazmee refused to confirm it saying, "It's too early to talk about it... it was just a casual meeting. I am in Cochin. Sohail and I will meet again as soon as I return. But it's too early to say anything more about the film at this point. I will talk once I am back in Mumbai."
Asked about the progress on 'No Entry Mein Entry', he said: "Right now we have only finalised the lead actors that is Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan and Fardeen Khan. We are in the process of casting the rest of the cast."

A generally flexible, quilt-like, broad band multispectral camouflage blat which embodies a matrix of commercially available laminated wide band, energy absorbing material which is precut into polygonal shaped panels to thereby effectively collectively absorb and suppress radar, heat and sound energy. The panels are either removably disposed or otherwise suitably bonded within complementary sized pockets in the blanket fabric and are oriented in a flexible grid-like arrangement. The blanket fabric, such as a KEVLAR nylon or the like, which by its very nature is impervious to water and many other contaminents, is further characterized by a low reflectivity at microwave radar frequencies, and may be visually camouflaged for different tactical environments. The flexibility provided by the grid-like arrangement is compatible with the need to generally convexly conform to the shape of the object being protected or to secure to an intermediate framework in a suitable non-dihedral/trihedral planar angle manner to preclude retroreflection by reentrant geometries of the blanket when used at higher frequencies where it will not absorb energy waves. The same flexibility also enables it to be readily folded for compact stowage.
1. A lightweight, foldable, wide band energy-absorbing camouflage blanket adaptable to be placed over operating equipment to absorb sound and heat emanating therefrom and to absorb radar waves incident thereon, said blanket comprising:
at least one sheet of heavy duty, abrasion-resistant fabric;
said fabric sheet being provided with a rows-and-columns matrix of individual laminated polygonal panels supported thereon;
said individual panels being of the Jaumann type comprising layers of diverse energy-absorbing materials arranged in combination with each other and with said fabric sheet so as to absorb incident broad band radar waves, and to also absorb and reduce heat and sound emanating from protected equipment over and/or about which one or more of said blanket is placed; and
at least one exterior surface of said blanket fabric is characterized to provide visual camouflage according to predetermined tactical environments.
2. The blanket of claim 1, wherein each of said panels comprises a middle conductive layer with alternating semi-rigid expanded foam absorbers and resistive layers on both sides of said conductive layer, and whereby both exterior sides of said blanket fabric are patterned for visual camouflage respectively representative of two different tactical environmental situations, whereby said blanket is more capable of reversible applications.
3. The blanket of claim 1 wherein said blanket incudes two of said fabric sheets joined together in laminated fashion about said panels, and both of said sheets have exterior surfaces visually patterned or characterized for two different tactical environments.
4. The blanket of claim 1, wherein each of said panels comprises a layer of conductive material with superposed alternating layers of at least one layer each of dielectric semi-rigid, expanded closed air cell foam absorbers and of resistive layers above said conductive layer.
5. The blanket of claim 4 wherein said layers of said panels further include a topmost thinner foam absorber, the thinness of which is correlated to that of the blankets fabric sheet so that collectively they are impedance matched to free space to minimize radar reflection.
6. The blanket of claim 4, wherein said panels are designed to absorb the radar waves over the wide bandwidth by phase cancelation means, and wherein said dielectric semi-rigid expanded foam absorbers are characterized by a low dielectric constant and also have good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
7. The blanket of claim 6, wherein said panel's foam absorbers being one quarter of the free space wave length lowest frequency of radar waves be absorbed.
8. The blanket of claim 7, wherein said foam absorbers comprise a syntactic foam comprising glass Microballs in soft binder for enhancing both their sound and heat absorption qualities as well as their low dielectric constant.
9. The blanket of claim 7, wherein said blanket includes pocket means of a character to facilitate replacement, substitution and selective reversibility of said panels, to contribute to the blanket's tactical advantages.
The invention described herein may be manufactured, used, and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to me of any royalties thereon.
This invention relates to an energy absorbing blanket which is capable of protecting tactical military equipment, especially vehicles, from detection by hostile forces. The blanket is adapted to be draped tightly over the protected equipment and will generally conform to the shape thereof. The invention provides wide band visual, acoustic, heat and radar signature reduction of the protected equipment by means of the blanket hereof which can be folded for compact stowage when not in use and draped conformally over the equipment when used. Normally a vehicle can be driven with the blanket deployed thereon. The wideband energy absorbing features are the result of the use of several different energy suppressing features comprising several known materials laminated together in a known manner to form panels which are arranged in a grid-like pattern between two layers of suitable supporting fabric.
Each of the aforementioned panels may comprise for example a modification of a laminated radar absorbing material or RAM, which has been used in the prior art for absorbing incident radar waves only. These prior art RAM panels comprise a bottom layer of conductive foil or sheet metal with two or more resistive absorber layers above the foil, with the resistive absorbers separated by dielectrics which have usually comprised foam plastics such as polyurethane. These RAM's absorb incident radar waves by phase cancellation or destructive interference.
The energy absorbing blanket of the present invention comprises panels which function as radar absorbers in the same way as do the prior art RAM panels but in addition are designed to also suppress both thermal and acoustic energy which may be emitted by the protected equipment. This is accomplished by choosing the dielectric material of the panels to have good thermal and acoustic insulating properties as well as the required electrical property to accomplish radar signal absorption. The novel panels can be designated as ATRAM panels, meaning acoustic-thermal-radar absorbing material.
These ATRAM panels are sewn or otherwise bonded within the blanket fabric in a matrix. The blanket fabric can be nylon or the like having a low dielectric constant and may be patterned for visual camouflage. If the aforementioned conductive foil is placed in the middle of the laminated panels with alternated layers of foam dielectric and resistive absorbers on either side thereof, the ATRAM blanket becomes reversible and it can be patterned on each side for different tactical environments, for example one side may have a desert pattern and the other a woodland type pattern.
Reversibility can also be achieved by simply placing two one-sided ATRAM panels back-to-back in each pocket of the blanket, or by reversing a single one-sided panel which is held in an openable pocket in the supporting fabric.
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a camouflage blanket with wide band energy absorbing features plus visual camouflage, and which can be easily placed over an object to be protected and which can be folded for convenient and compact stowage.
Another object of the invention is to provide a blanket which has wide band signature reduction characteristics including acoustic, visual, infrared or heat and radar wavelengths, and which comprises a plurality of panels of laminated materials of different energy affecting characteristics arranged in pockets of supporting blanket fabric so that the blanket can be folded along the various seams between rows and columns of the panels for stowage or unfolded and placed over or alongside of equipment to be protected.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a wide band energy absorbing and visually camouflaging blanket which when deployed over a vehicle will conform generally to the vehicle's shape and which can be so used while the vehicle is in motion.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a blanket which can be placed over tactical military equipment while in operation to modify the signature thereof by absorbing heat and noise emitted by the protected equipment, absorbing incident radar energy, and providing for visual camouflage.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel reversible wide band energy absorbing blanket with visual camouflage capability, which blanket can be placed over military equipment to modify the signature thereof and which comprises laminated wide band energy absorbing panels arranged in a matrix either in pockets in a supporting fabric or in a matrix between two sheets of supporting fabric.
These and other advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a top or plan view of an illustrative embodiment of the novel energy absorbing blanket.
FIG. 2 shows an edge or elevation view of the blanket of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show different types of laminated panels which may be used in the blanket of FIGS. 1 and 2.
The energy absorbing blanket illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a 3�3 matrix of energy absorbent panels, 9, mounted between two square sheets of fabric, 7 being the upper fabric and 13 the lower one. The two fabric sheets are held together and the panels held in place therebetween by stitching or bonding along the dashed lines or seams 11 of FIG. 1. The upper fabric sheet 7 is patterned for visual camouflage purposes, as indicated by the irregular pattern 15 in the lower right corner of the blanket as shown in FIG. 1.
Each one of the panels 9, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, is laminated with a plurality of layers of energy absorbing materials. The panels provide for target signature reduction by absorbing incident radar waves and preventing heat and sound emanating from the protected equipment from reaching the upper surface of the blanket. The fabric is a material of suitable strength with a low dielectric constant, for example nylon, Kevlar, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or SCRIM textiles, or the like, which by their very nature inherently generally resist water and abrasion and various other forms of contamination.
FIG. 3 shows a laminated ATRAM panel which may be used in a blanket of this type. This type of radar absorbing material (RAM) from which the panels hereof are made or patterned, is commercially available. The Emerson and Cuming Div. of W. R. Grace Co. of Canton Mass. markets its RAM material under the trademark ECCOSORB. Other commercially available weatherproof microwave absorbing materials, also based upon the Jaumann design, are available from Advanced Absorber Products Inc., of Amesbury, Mass. In this panel the lower layer 17 comprises a thin conductive foil or sheet which defines the bottom of the blanket which would be placed against the equipment being protected. The other five layers of this panel comprise the foam absorber 19, a resistive layer 21, another foam absorber 23 with a second resistive layer 25 and the thin foam absorber 27. The prior art RAM panels referred to above have comprised structure similar to that of FIG. 3, arranged to absorb radar waves over a given bandwidth by phase cancellation techniques. These RAM panels are known as the Jaumann design. The Jaumann design merely uses a stacked arrangement of the well-known Salisbury Screen form of Dielectric. The resistive layers such as 21 and 25 have comprised thin sheets of material of suitable resistivity, for example carbon or graphite sheets 0.001 inches thick. To obtain a large radar absorbing bandwidth the resistivity of the resistive layers must be varied, with the outermost or top resistive layer having the highest resistivity and the innermost or bottom layer the least resistivity. For effective wide band phase cancellation, each of resistive layers must be separated by one quarter of the free space of the lowest designed frequency. Thus the foam layers or absorbers 19 and 23 must have an electrical thickness equal to one quarter of the free space wavelength at the lowest design frequency and proportional to the dielectric constant (or the index of refraction) of the dielectric foam absorber, so that each dielectric foam layer comprises a quarter wavelength at the reduced propagational velocity therein. The outermost foam absorber layer 27 is made thinner than the other absorber layers 19 and 23, since the supporting fabric 7, which covers the layer 27 also acts as a dielectric and effectively increases the electrical thickness of the layer 27. Thus the combined absorber layer 27 and the fabric 7 are selected to provide the desired quarter wavelength thickness in order to minimize the surface reflectivity. The foam layers of the prior art RAM panels have been chosen to provide only these desired electrical properties.
In accordance with the present invention, the foam absorbers or layers 19, 23 and 27 are selected or chosen to have good thermal and acoustic insulation properties in addition to the aforementioned required electrical properties. Such an ATRAM panel will then provide wideband thermal, acoustic, and radar absorption. Numerous materials can be used for the foam absorber layers to achieve these ends. A simple and inexpensive material may comprise simply a soft expanded foam plastic with closed interior air cells, to provide a dead air space required for good heat insulation and prevent water absorption. The soft plastic material would provide the required sound absorption or insulation. Another material for such layers would be a syntactic foam comprising hollow glass Microballs in a semi-rigid binder. In such materials, the glass or ceramic balls are either air-filled or evacuated to provide the required low heat conductivity and the soft or semi-rigid binder provides the sound absorption. Such Microballs or air cells are indicated by the numeral 20 in the foam absorber 19 of FIG. 3. Materials of this type are also commercially available from the aforesaid Cumings and Emerson Div. of W. R. Grace Company.
As stated above, the foam absorbers 19 and 23 must be one quarter wavelength at the lowest the radar absorption frequency. Thus for a given center frequency, the thickness of these absorbers will be proportional to the dielectric constant thereof. Thus the lower the dielectric constant, the thinner each foam absorber can be. Since the foam absorber layers make up the great majority of the thickness of the panels, it is important to minimize the dielectric constant thereof. The fabric 7 plus the thin foam absorber layer 27 collectively should have a minimum dielectric constant to provide maximum absorbing bandwidths. Any dielectric will become completely reflective above a critical frequency. This critical frequency is directly proportional to the material's dielectric constant. Thus the dielectric constant of the outer absorbing layer 27 and the fabric 7 is chosen to extend this critical freqency as high as possible. This is because it is desirable that the blanket, or blanket fabric, should not be completely reflective, with the frequency being a high as possible. Thus, the respective materials are carefully chosen in combination so as to provide the aforesaid lowest dielectric constant, or lowest reflectivity. Also, the thicker the panels 9, the better will be the absorption of off-normal incident radar waves.
The function of the conductive foil or sheet 17 is to retroreflect the incoming radar waves up through the panel to provide the required phase cancellation. This conductive layer can be a thin foil or may be a rigid metal sheet if this is necessary to provide support and ridigity to the other layers of the panel. Radar absorbers of this type become reflective at frequencies wherein the foam absorber layers are one half of the free space wavelength. This fact concerning reflectivity must be taken into account in designing these panels. One solution to this problem is to place the resonant reflective frequencies in a portion of the spectrum where the atmospheric absorption is high for example, 60 GHz. Also, the conductive foil reflects incident radiant energy from heat sources within the protected equipment as well as incident radar waves which pass through the seams and are reflected from the metal surfaces of the equipment.
FIG. 4 shows a panel which is designed for a reversible blanket of this type. It comprises a central conductive layer 17 with the alternating foam absorber and resistive layers 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27 above the conductive layer and symmetrically arranged resistive and foam absorber layers 19', 21', 23', 25', and 27' below the central conductive layer. Rather than a one-piece panel of this type, a pair of single-sided panes such as those of FIG. 3 can be placed back-to-back to form a reversible panel.
The illustrative panel of FIG. 3 has three foam absorbers and a pair of resistive layers. A wider absorption bandwidth can be achieved if additional similar foam absorber and resistive layers are used. A tradeoff must be made between panel thickness and absorption bandwidth. For tactical purposes, the blanket thickness preferably should not exceed about one inch, although the thicker the blanket panels, the greater the acoustical and thermal suppression benefits.
The blanket of FIGS. 1 and 2 can be draped over a vehicle or other structure to be protected and it will generally conform to any complex shape since the seams between panels are flexible. Also, this flexibility permits the blanket to be easily folded for compact stowage. The blanket can be attached to the underlying equipment by means of grommets or eyelets along the blanket edge such as those referenced as 10 in FIG. 1, or simply by gravity or other attachment means. Also the blanket may be folded like a road map with one edge attached to a metal framework which can be raised and lowered like a convertible auto top. Also, the blanket can be hung vertically from hooks on vehicles or on a separate metal framework to provide lateral protection in one direction. The blanket should be placed over the equipment so that no reentrant geometries of the blanket itself are formed which could cause retroreflection at frequencies wherein the blanket does not absorb. Thus the blanket surface as viewed externally, should be convex and not concave.
Instead of the double sheet construction shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a single sheet of fabric material may be provided with pockets in which the panels 9 are inserted. These pockets could be provided with fasteners so that single-sided ATRAM panels such as those of FIG. 3 could be removed and reinserted with the conductive foil layers thereof facing in the other direction. With this arrangement, opposite sides of the supporting fabric would have different camouflage patterns as explained above and when it was desired to reverse the blanket to the other pattern, the panels would be reversed in their pockets so that the conductive layer 17 is against the protected equipment. This would provide a measure of reversibility without the need for the double thickness panels of FIG. 4. Thus, the blanket hereof has been designed to provide optimum tactical considerations, such as being preferably not over about one inch thick, to thereby provide effective camouflage with a low logistic and operational burden. That is, its relatively light weight and flexibility enable it to be conveniently installed and stowed with but a few people.
While the invention has been described in connection with illustrative embodiments, obvious variations therein will occur to those skilled in the art, such a designing the matrix to include a larger multiplicity of the rows and columns of panels, and to custom modify the shape of certain of the polygonal panels as may be desirable for certain equipment to better facilitate the preferred convexly draping or other non-dihedral/trihedral disposition of the blankets with respect to said equipment. Accordingly the invention should be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Associated Press — Turning on Glass is done by tapping a finger on the right side of the frame. The device can also be activated by tilting your head upward. Glass users have to turn on the device frequently because it automatically turned off every 30 seconds or so when I wasn't using it. This is meant to save the limited battery life (it only lasts about 90 minutes if you're recording a lot of video, but Google says the battery should be adequate for a full day's use for most people).
Navigating the Glass software requires swiping a finger in a forward or backward direction or an upward or downward direction on the right side of the frame. Remembering the correct direction to swipe to get to a certain set of controls or information was confusing at first, but it didn't take long to get the hang of it.
Glass can connect to the Internet through a Wi-Fi network or by pairing with your smartphone through a Bluetooth connection.
Once online, it's easy to ask Google's search engine for a piece of information. I wondered how the Oakland A's fared in a game earlier that day and Glass promptly delivered the score on a card displayed on the display screen while I carried on a conversation. An automated voice also announced the answer through a bone conduction speaker near my right ear. When I asked Glass for directions to another location in San Francisco, it pulled up a map on the display screen and adjusted my course as I walked in different directions in the room.
The map was quite immersive because even though the Glass screen is small, the display is in high-definition and gives the illusion that you are seeing the image on something much larger. Google likens it to watching a high-definition TV with a 25-inch screen from eight feet away. I didn't have enough time with the device to test that comparison, but there's no doubt the picture on Glass display is crisp. People who are severely near-sighted probably won't be able to see what's on the screen any more clearly than everything else in front of them.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jones expecting a child
Skip will miss first half of 2012-13 season
Winnipeg skip Jennifer Jones will have a totally new delivery this winter -- a bouncing baby due in mid-December.
Jones, 38, told the Free Press on Tuesday she is about four months pregnant right now and she is thrilled, along with partner Brent Laing, to be expecting her first child.
"Wow!" Jones exclaimed as she delivered the news. "We're both very excited... Never a dull moment for me, eh?"
Indeed. Jones already has a hectic schedule as skip of one of the top-ranked curling teams in the world, while also managing a career as a top-flight corporate lawyer.
Throw a baby into the mix and a partner in Laing who lives elsewhere and is also very busy -- he's the second for Ontario's Glenn Howard, the reigning world men's champions -- and Jones admits life will somehow be even busier the next little while.
"We're both going to keep our separate residences through the 2013-14 season. We're both committed to our teams and it's really important to us. I will remain in Winnipeg and Brent will remain in Ontario and then we will figure it out after that.
"It will be a little bit of juggling and it will be a little complicated, but we'll figure it out."
The implications for Manitoba curling will be immediate. Jones says she will miss at least the first half of the 2012-13 curling season -- and not just because she's having a baby.
Even before she learned she was pregnant, Jones had scheduled off-season surgery to deal with chronic pain in her right knee -- that's her trailing leg during her curling delivery -- and she had the procedure done last month.
She's still on crutches right now and unable to even drive and she says doctors have told her it could take a full six months for her knee to fully heal.
But just as that time comes, Jones will be due to deliver, causing yet another delay in her return to the ice.
Jones says she is at this point targeting the Continental Cup in mid-January as her return date and said she fully intends to compete at the Manitoba women's provincial championship later that same month.
The Jones team has an automatic berth into the 2013 Manitoba provincials as the defending champion.
Jones said her team will continue to curl on the cash circuit in her absence, with third Kaitlyn Lawes taking over skipping duties while the front end of second Jill Officer and lead Dawn Askin will remain unchanged.
She said the team has recruited former Ontario champion and Sherry Middaugh third Kirsten Wall to play third for the Jones team while Jones is away.
The longer-term effects for Manitoba curling are less clear. Both the Jones and Howard teams have already confirmed their berths into the December, 2013 Canadian Curling Trials at the MTS Centre, where Canada's male and female representatives for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi will be determined.
What happens after that remains to be seen, but it bears noting Laing has a child from a previous relationship living in Ontario.
On the surface then, there would appear to at least be the potential prospect of Jones someday moving to be with Laing and, conceivably, someday also competing at a Scotties Tournament of Hearts for, gasp, Ontario.
Try that image on for size, Manitoba curling fans.
Of course, if Laing were to move to Manitoba, the reverse would be true and Laing would almost instantly become the most recruited player in this province.
"It's a lot of change in my life," said Jones, "but I've always got a lot on my plate. It's kind of what I do.
"It's a lot of planning right now, but we'll be OK."

I am wondering if there is a way to edit the wdio.lsp file so that the it moves the DESCxx attribute position to 1/4" to the right of the right rung when installing output cards using the PLCIO Utility. I have the input cards working properly but cannot get the output cards to match.
I have noticed that within the wdio.lsp file it only moves the DESCxx attribute 1 text height beyond the right hand bus and I am hoping this can be modified to move it 1/4"
Please help!!
Thank you,
Paul E Barkholz
Solved! Go to Solution.
So the output cards are already moving the text all the way over to the right of the bus but just not the amount you want, right?
I haven't done much with this but I think the code is in this section shown in blue in the wdio.lsp and the lines I've marked red are the ones to change -
(defun wd_wdio_move_attrib ( at_en newx newy / ; ** 09-Feb-06 NEHolt added "newy"
delta_x old10 old11 newed ed
new10 new11
thgt ;** 14-Sep-04 PanQ, Declare to local
; Relocate attribute "at_en" to x value (if newx not "nil") or y value (if not "nil")
(if Aw_debug (princ "\nIN:wd_wdio_move_attrib"))
(setq ed (entget at_en))
(setq thgt (cdr (assoc 40 ed)))
(setq old10 (cdr (assoc 10 ed)))
; ** 09-Feb-06 NEHolt
(if newx
(setq delta_x (- newx (car old10))) ; calc move distance to the right-hand bus
(setq delta_x (+ delta_x thgt)) ; go one text height distance beyond the right-hand bus
; Calc new DESCxx attribute position
(setq new10 (list (+ (car old10) delta_x) (cadr old10) 0.0))
(setq old11 (cdr (assoc 11 ed)))
(setq new11 (list (+ (car old11) delta_x) (cadr old11) 0.0))
(if newy
(setq delta_y (- (cadr old10) newy) ) ; calc move distance down to the bottom bus
(setq delta_y (+ delta_y thgt)) ; go one text height beyond the bottom bus
; Calc new DESCxx attribute position
(setq new10 (list (car old10) (- (cadr old10) delta_y) 0.0))
(setq old11 (cdr (assoc 11 ed)))
(setq new11 (list (car old11) (- (cadr old11) delta_y) 0.0))
) ) )
Can you just change those lines to
(setq delta_x (+ delta_x 0.25))
(setq delta_y (+ (+ delta_y 0.25))
That did the trick, thank you very much!! I really need to learn autolisp programming!
glad it worked. The wdio.lsp can get pretty complicated but once you find the right place to modify the Autolisp code itself isn't too cryptic.

Does Your Brain Contribute to Your Arguments?
Ever reflect on an argument and ask yourself, "What on earth was I thinking when I said that?!" Well, the field of social neuroscience is providing answers to help us understand our outbursts. Our brains have two almond-shaped masses called amygdalae that are in charge of processing our emotional reactions. The amygdalae regulate our fight or flight response, which was created as a survival mechanism to allow us to react quickly to stimuli before giving our rational brain time to interpret the stimuli. In critical situations, our amygdalae respond
How to Resolve an Argument With Your Mate Every Time
"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." As in my home, one of the few things that I can guarantee is that all couples will experience conflict. Since conflict is a normal part of any relationship, learning how to resolve them without emotional injury is crucial.
