Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Langlois Paris
Quaint, clean and great location
My husband and I spent a week at the Hotel Langlois (June 24-July 1) on the recommendation of a friend. We loved it! The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. We were able to check in early, a welcome luxury after flying through the night. As noted in other reviews, the breakfast was ample and tasty although the breakfast room is a bit cramped. The location is great for the metro and a close walk to the Galeries Lafayette. Our room - #31 - had a large, clean bathroom. The only complaint we had was the shower (little water pressure, wild temperature changes), which is fairly common in Europe. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would stay there again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Paris.
What a small hotel in Paris ought to be like
Stayed 3-6 June, rooms 55 & 51. Very pretty and very clean. Room 55 spacious with fine (antique) furniture. Room 51 - no antiques and more cramped. One was 99 euros the other 79. At this price hotel represents excellent value. Breakfast room is tiny - could overflow if hotel is full - but you can always have breakfast served in your room. Breakfast itself fulfilled expectations!
Double-glazing provided excellent sound-proofing, although hotel is actually in a quiet street. There is some internal noise from plumbing and creaking floors but, hey this is France and it didn't spoil our stay. With metro only 50 metres from hotel, it is well-placed for getting about. 10 minutes walk from Opera and Galeries Layfayette. I would highly recommend this unique hotel.
An excellent choice
My wife & I (ages 51 & 50) spent the first 6 days of our honeymoon at this hotel from May 24 - May 29, 2004 . I did extensive web research before selecting the L'Anglois, and was very proud of my selection. No complaints whatsoever. I have travelled through Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and London about 10 times over the past 20 years, and so have experience with the always unique European hotels. This goes down in my book as a highly reliable hotel that we will return to the next time we go to Paris. My new wife fell in love with Paris; this hotel contributed nicely to our wonderful memories. We walked everywhere: the Louvre (ca. 35 minutes), Notre Dame (ca. 45 minutes), Sacre Coeur/Montmarte (ca. 30 minutes), the Arch de Triumphe (ca. 50 minutes). But if you're not into walking, the metro is easy and cheap. The RR station (Gare St. Lazare) is an easy 13 minute walk. Laundromat a block & a half away. A charming experience and excellent value.
What a welcome to Paris!
Absolutely lovely! It was our first trip to Europe May 31 - June 5) and with the huge selection of hotels to choose from, I was somewhat overwhelmed. However, the reviews on this website as well as in guidebooks were right on the mark with this place. Courteous and efficient staff; very helpful when we needed to check in early and also hold our luggage until our plane left. Rooms were very nice, beds comfortable - we stayed in one room facing the street and another facing the courtyard. Never had a problem with road noise as we were on the 6th floor when we faced the street. Definitely look forward to returning!
Deserving of more stars
Our 3 night stay in May 2004was made extremely comfortable by the friendliness and helpfullness of the owner and staff. The hotel is well located and within walking distance of most of the usual tourist interests. Altho' the furnishings are dated, there is an ambiance throughout the hotel which overcomes that concern, i.e. artwork, fireplaces. The rooms and baths are unusually large and mmaculate. Breakfast is more than adequate in pleasant surroundings. Be sure to take the advice of Mme. and have dinner at Le Bistro des Deux Theatres on Rue Blanche. The hotel, in our view, deserves a high 3stars, and is Paris in all respects
WOW. Almost perfect.
Stayed at this hotel based on reviews on this site. Will likely be going back --- something very rare for me as I am NOT a creature of habit.
GREAT value. The floral paintings in both common spaces and the rooms are delightful. The rooms are very well furnished and appear exactly as shown on their web page (do visit it!).
Very convenient location -- both to Metro/RER and to the RoissyBus which stops about 5 blocks away (less than 500m).
My only slight drawback is that the reception staff were a bit stern and less than warm and welcoming. This was made up for by the very pleasant and helpful breakfast staff.
Our family stayed at the Hotel L'Anglois for two nights at the end of February and had the two-room suite (#34). It was an absolute delight. The headboard was built-in, ornately carved wood with a hidden door to the very elegant and modern bathroom. There was a marble fireplace, ten foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows in both rooms covered with velvet drapery. the breakfast room was charming and light-filled and the chocolate croisants are heavenly and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. The staff is helpful and friendly and the Metro is very close. What a great place!
Just before christmas myself and seven other friends went to Paris for three days and stayed in this hotel and we had the best time ever! The staff were very friendly and spoke english to us becuase we couldnt really understand. This was very helpful. The rooms were beautiful and we had a massive bathroom. We will definatly be staying there next year.
Would definitely stay here again
My husband and I just returned from Paris where we spent 6 nights at the Hotel Langlois. We absolutely loved the hotel. Although it was only a two star we had all of the amenities of a three star or better - and the price was great. When we were looking at hotels I had wanted to stay at a smaller, boutique-style hotel rather than a large chain. This place was perfect - it's exactly how I had hoped it would be. Our room was a very good size and complete with a decorative fireplace, antiques, beautiful paintings and a gorgeous bedroom set. We enjoyed our own private bathroom and since our room was on the top floor we had a wonderful view of the city. The elevator also was a highlight of the hotel and the staff were all very friendly. Unfortunately we didn't eat at the hotel, but did enjoy many local restaurants and were pleased that a Metro stop was only a half a block away. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Excellent for value.
We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in November. The hotel is very centrally located and convenient to all major tourist sites, in particular it is very close to Gare du Nord. From Gare du Nord to the hotel costs about 6 euros. We paid 89 for one room and 99 euros for another. The rooms are very large in comparison to average European hotels and the stuffs were very friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is excellent for its value. We would certain use this hotel again when visiting Paris.

The tour officially starts tomorrow, but myself and a couple of other people have arrived a day early to try to shake off the jet-lag.

A traditional IRA is a type of retirement account in the United States of America. A traditional IRA is an Individual Retirement Account that can be set up by individuals at institutions like banks or brokerage firms. One will be able to invest this account into anything that the institution may allow. There are various rules that govern traditional IRAs and one may have questions about these rules when an individual is planning to set up an account. Given below are some of the important questions about traditional IRAs that have been answered by the Experts.
A person may not face any penalties for converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. However, the individual may have to include the amount that was converted as taxable income while filing their returns.
It may be possible for an S Corporation to set up a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) account and a traditional IRA at the same time. The company may also transfer funds between these two accounts.
A simple IRA refers to a savings incentive match plan for an employee who is set up by the employer whereas a traditional IRA is an individual retirement arrangement or account which can be set up by different individuals.
A person may be able to transfer a traditional IRA to their ex-spouse without any tax implications only if the transfer is made through a divorce decree or a separate maintenance and property settlement agreement. If the transfer is made under any other situation, the money may be taxable and the individual may also have to pay a penalty.
In most situations, an individual may not have to pay penalty if he/she used the money from a traditional IRA to pay for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). The individual may not have to pay any tax on that money under the following circumstances:
In the case of converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, the person will have to rollover the funds from an eligible retirement plan. The Roth IRA can be created with the same custodian as the traditional IRA. The custodian may be instructed to transfer either all or a part of the funds to the Roth IRA. The person can also take the funds of the traditional account and roll them over personally into the Roth IRA account within 60 days. Though there is a limit on the amount that can be contributed while funding a Roth IRA account, there may be not limit with regards to converting the traditional IRA to a Roth. One may also not have to pay any penalties for the conversion.
There are different kinds of IRA accounts that may be available to you. You need to understand how each of these work and how different they are from each other in order to be able to operate them properly. Sometimes, it can get confusing to understand the various features of these IRA accounts on your own and you may need to take the help of a professional. You may ask an Expert if you have any doubts or difficulty in understanding traditional IRAs.

1. You are considering opening a bagel restaurant aimed primarily at the breakfast trade. You'll sell bagels, coffee, and other items in relatively fixed proportions to one another. For each bagel sold, you expect the company to sell two cups of coffee and $2 of other items. You'll earn $0.50 on each bagel, $0.50 on each cup of coffee, and $1.00 on the other items. Salaries, equipment, and rent cost about $100,000 per year. What is the break-even quantity of bagels?2. You are a financial planner who helps clients plan for retirement. Suppose one of your clients is 4 years away from retirement and has only $1,500 in pretax income to devote to either a Roth or traditional IRA. The traditional IRA permits investors to contribute the full $1,500 since contributions to these accounts are tax-deductible, but they must pay taxes on all future distributions. In contrast, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible, meaning that at a tax rate of 17 percent, the investor is able to contribute only $1,245 after taxes; however, the earnings of a Roth IRA grow tax-free. Your company has decided to waive the one-time set-up fee of $25 to open a Roth IRA; however, investors opening a traditional IRA must pay the $25 set-up fee (in the first year only). Assuming that your client anticipates that her tax rate will remain at 17 percent in retirement and will earn a stable 8 percent return on her investments, will she prefer a traditional or Roth IRA?

Product Description:
Personnel: Eddy Duchin (piano); Jerry Cooper, Lew Sherwood (vocals).
Liner Note Author: Tom Steuer.
Recording information: Camden, NJ (10/25/1933-04/22/1937); Chicago, IL (10/25/1933-04/22/1937); Hollywood, CA (10/25/1933-04/22/1937); New York, NY (10/25/1933-04/22/1937).
Take Two Records presents a second album dedicated to the music of pianist and bandleader Eddy Duchin (1910-1951). Most of the vocals are by Lew Sherwood, with additional appearances by Jerry Cooper, Buddy Clark and the DeMarco Sisters. During the mid-'30s, many dance bands spiced up their act with rhythms and repertoire gleaned from Latin America; Duchin tapped into this trend with "La Cumparsita" -- one of his very few instrumental recordings from this period -- and "Dust on the Moon," described as a "Rumba Fox Trot." All of the other selections included here, like most of the popular recordings issued on 78 rpm records during the '30s, were tagged with the all-purpose categorical designation of "Fox Trot." The songs themselves, mostly associated with movies and stage musicals, are emblematic of the decade preceding the Second World War. It's not surprising that Duchin's tragically brief life story was made into a motion picture in 1956. He began leading his own Central Park Casino Orchestra in 1931, and married wealthy socialite Marjorie Oelrichs three years later, causing her to "lose her social standing" as Duchin was both a Jew and a musician. In early August 1937, Marjorie died of post-natal complications less than a week after the birth of their son Peter. Eddy in turn would succumb to leukemia on February 9, 1951. Deprived of a mother from the outset and orphaned while still a boy, Peter Duchin would grow up to become a successful pianist, producer and bandleader. ~ arwulf arwulf

SDGO and me.
I was wondering if anyone here knew of any other ways than the Nagle algorithm to increase dataflow between the Server and me.
ANY way that's free and doesn't involve a new modem (I freaking wished).
Is there any ports I can open.
Is there any programs I can install.
What ever really!
I am getting sick of this damn inability to reach the Factory at all. I need a solution and ASAP.
CS Onlineï¹çµå°æ*¦åï¹ åå¦æ¿ - å·´åå§ç¹
try this if you can understand chinese.
Joining the Factory doesn't appear to be online based... It's the changes that are made that are saved...
Sounds more like a problem with your PC.
My PC can run Borderlands, an XBox 360 game at 200 FPS.
If I try to run a PS2 Emulator, it runs at around 20-30 FPS rather than the usual 50 for a PS2.
It's all based on what resources the program needs... When you get a mech's specs, it's all there. The model, the stats, all of that is client side. What those stats are is pretty much a notepad file being sent to you, around 1kb at the max... And that's for your entire hangar...
So I would be willing to bet it is your PC. In-game/connecting to others are the only real places where internet connection makes a major point. Otherwise, as I said, it's all basically small document files...
maybe not pc problem, just pass ur pc specs and ill tell ya, also ur inet connection and ur geographical position
It's not that complicated. You can't play 360 games on a PS3, you can't use Windows Programs on a standard Mac, need I go on?
i got stuck during the first time entering Factory
so far since that update ... i have the same problem about 4 times
just restart the game

Allen recounts both sides of his story concurrently, flip-flopping back and forth between his serious and lighthearted editions in order to highlight how the same basic plot outline can be molded for divergent purposes. In the film's solemn segment, Melinda is a neurotic, chain-smoking warning label against adultery, having lost her husband, custody of her children, and fragile hold on sanity because of a fling with a dashing Italian. Arriving on the Manhattan doorstep of her friends Lee (Jonny Lee Miller) and Laurel (Chloë Sevigny) during a get-together between friends and business associates, Melinda is a high-strung, near-anorexic mess, and her appearance eventually leads not only to a doomed romance with a dashing pianist and aspiring composer (Chiwetel Ejiofor, radiating intellectual charm), but also to the infidelity-incited end of struggling actor Lee and shopaholic Laurel's supposedly perfect marriage.

While these bookend scenes are uncharacteristically clunkyand deliberate, full of exposition designed to set the fictional stage,the two parallel stories are pure Woody Allen at his ironic, neurotic,romantic, poignant and peculiar best -- and they're deftly woven togetherto compliment and play off each other.
The underappreciated Radha Mitchell (she played wives in"FindingNeverland," "PhoneBooth" and "Manon Fire") may now get the recognition shedeserves with her remarkable performances in the dual title role as a flighty,suicidal beauty who arrives in each story by crashing a dinner party.
One Melinda is a new downstairs neighbor who knocks onthe Upper East Side door of wannabe filmmaker Amanda Peet (who flirts withrich men hoping they'll fund her independent movie "The CastrationSonata") and her husband, neurotic out-of-work actor Will Ferrell(the picture's requisite Woody surrogate, although with unpredicted nuanceFerrell makes the role his own). Pratfalling into the dining room, Melindaannounces she's just taken two dozen sleeping pills. The comical chaosthat ensues leads to friendships, infidelities and unrequited love, allorbiting around Melinda -- although she's largely unaware of the upheavalshe's wrought.

The present invention relates to a combination instrument useful both for examining the eye and for treating the eye. It comprises a stereoscopic viewing microscope and an associated unit.
One form of ophthalmological combination instrument is disclosed in German Federal Republic Pat. No. 26 14 273 (Carl Zeiss), of Feb. 15, 1979, and its similar British Pat. No. 1,575,244, of Sept. 17, 1980. That instrument comprises a diagnostic instrument in which a slit lamp, constructed in accordance with the principle of a binocular telescope magnifier, can be converted into an ophthalmometer by the insertion of another optical part after removal of the main objective of the stereoscopic viewing microscope.
It is also known to provide an operation microscope which can be combined with a laser system for purposes of treatment. Such instruments are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,096,767 (Gresser et al.) of July 9, 1963, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,963 (Goldman et al.) of Nov. 6, 1973. In these two patents, the therapeutic laser radiation is guided outside the viewing instrument or operation microscope.
If one attempts to combine a laser system for therapy purposes with a stereoscopic viewing microscope, according to the combining principles disclosed in the above mentioned German Pat. No. 26 14 273, there would have to be available a laser of small size, the radiation of which can be conducted through the viewing lens system of the binocular viewing microscope. Surprisingly, it has been found that a laser which is particularly well suited for this purpose is a neodymium-yag pulse laser (Nd:yag laser), known from range finder systems, which has a passive quality switch (Q switch). This known laser has the characteristic that upon an increase in the intensity of the pumping light it emits, in one pulse sequence, not just one individual pulse, but rather a pulse chain of several (e.g., up to five) individual pulses, the time spacing beteen the pulses being 10 to 2μ sec and the energy of the individual pulses being about 15 to 10 mJ.
For the previous field of use of this known laser (i.e., in rangefinder systems), this property is undesired, and is avoided by suitable selection of the operating conditions. However, this property has been found to be useful for the treatment of cataracts of the eye. Such laser pulses produce, upon focusing, spontaneous ionization of the material and thereby destroy the protein fibrils which cause clouding of the lens or vitreous body of the eye.
It has been found that, for proper guidance of the therapeutic effect, specifically this spontaneous collapse of material and the mechanical shock wave connected therewith which leads to the cracking of the protein fibrils are the important factors. The above mentioned Nd:yag laser is excellently suited for the intended therapeutic purpose when it is operated with a sufficiently high pumping-light energy. Likewise, this laser can also be used to advantage for perforating the lens membrane or the iris itself.
The object of the invention is to provide a handy combination instrument useful both for diagnosis and for treatment, based on the principles of combination known from the mentioned German Pat. No. 26 14 273.
According to the invention, this object is attained by providing, as an auxiliary unit, a combination of two lasers or laser systems. The first laser system emits pulsewise in the invisible region, producing a plurality of individual pulses each having a duration of about 5 n sec, time spaced from each other by about 10μ sec, energy of about 15-20 mJ being produced in one pumping. The second laser of this combination emits continuously in the visible region, its beam having a cross section which consists of two individual beams with a light-free zone between them. The centroid beams of the visible laser radiation and the invisible laser radiation lie along the same axis. The two individual beams of the visible laser radiation are alternately connectable and disconnectable.
Conversion filters and laser protection filters are advisedly provided in the viewing ray path.
In one advantageous embodiment of the invention, the individual beams of the visible laser radiation have the cross section of a circular sector and are alternately connected and disconnected by means of an electric circuit.
The connecting and disconnecting of the individual beams can also be done by a bar diaphragm moved back and forth over the cross section of the beam. In another advantageous embodiment, the bar diaphragm consists of spring wire which is moved back and forth by a motor driven rotating eccentric or cam.
One particularly favorable construction is the provision of a T-shaped housing for holding the mechanical-optical parts of the laser treatment attachment, this housing being located above the horizontal plane of the microscope axes of the viewing system and having the operating controls of the attachment on the front of this housing, that is, the side toward the user of the apparatus (the surgeon).
The advantages resulting from the invention include, in particular, the fact that the laser system combines an extremely small volume with ease of modification of the energy of the pumping light. Furthermore, the invention facilitates the work of the surgeon by a focusing aid for the laser therapy beam and an extremely favorable ergonomic arrangement of the operating elements. The user can use the slit lamp, an item with which he is already acquanted, in the ordinary manner for diagnostic purposes, and after completing the diagnosis, he can commence the treatment by means of the easily operated therapeutic attachment unit, the T-shape of the housing permitting the user to have a good view of the patient.
Treatment with successive pulses furthermore has the advantage that the second pulse is even more effectively absorbed in the plasma which was produced by the first pulse by spontaneous ionization of the material, as a result of which the therapeutic effect is improved. Thus a method results which can be carried out easily and reliably in order to set locally large lesions. For smaller lesions, the energy can be weakened by means of gray filters.
One embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings, and will be described in further detail below.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combination instrument according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2a is a schematic sectional view along the main axis of the combination instrument, showing the mechanicaloptical principles;
FIG. 2b is a schematic crosssection across the ray paths through the main focusing objective;
FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view along a plane at right angles to the plane of FIG. 2a;
FIG. 4a is an illustration of the crosssectional shape of the beam from one of the lasers of the combination instrument;
FIG. 4b is a similar view of the beam from the other one of the lasers; and
FIG. 5 is an illustration of a switch mechanism for the sector beam of the laser emitting in the visible region.
Referring first to FIG. 1, there is shown a work table 30 on which the combination instrument of the invention is mounted. The stereoscopic viewing microscope of a conventional slit lamp apparatus is supported by the post 31, and the slit illumination device is shown at 5 (see also FIG. 2a). When the head of the patient is placed against the head rest 33, the eyes of the patient may be seen by the user of the instrument through the binocular eyepiece 31a.
The laser housing 34, containing the two lasers, is of T-shape, having a wide upper portion held above the normal eye level of the user by a narrower lower portion 36 which, in turn, is supported from the optical housing 6 at the top of the post 31. This T-shaped configuration provides the necessary space for the laser parts in the wide upper portion, above the user's eye level, but the lower portion, at the user's eye level, is much narrower and does not interfere seriously with the user's ability to look at the patient. The operating controls for the lasers are on the front plate 34a of the housing 34, i.e., on the side toward the user, in an accessible position for easy operation. Energy is supplied to the lasers through a supply cable 35 from the table 30.
Referring now to FIGS. 2a and 3, some of the parts shown here are shown also in FIG. 1 and have already beeen described. The observation ray path is indicated at 7. In this path there are arranged the known Galileo magnification changer elements 8 and 8', with an auxiliary system 8". The place of separtion, or interface, of the combination instrument is indicated by the broken line 22 in FIG. 2a. To the right of this line 22 the main objective of the stereoscopic microscope is normally located. But to provide the combination instrument of the present invention, this main objective is removed, and is replaced by the attachment of the present invention, i.e. the T-shaped housing 34, 36 containing the two lasers and other parts as herein described.
The slit illumination is shown at 5 in FIG. 2a as well as FIG. 1. It is illustrated in central position in FIG. 2b.
The coupling part of the laser therapy instrument comprises the beam splitter plate 1 and the main focusing objective 2. The centroid beam of the viewing ray path is marked 7a. The centroid beam of the laser rays coincide with this viewing path 7a from the splitter plate 1 onward to the focus point 16 at the eye of the patient.
For producing ther laser therapy radiation, an Nd:YAG laser is used, for the reasons already explained above. A HeNe laser is used as the marking laser beam instrument. Both lasers are arranged in the housing 34. Eye protection filters and conversion filters 28 are arranged in the ray path to the eyes of the user.
In FIG. 3, the Nd:YAG laser is shown at 9, and the He-Ne laser at 10. Since the beam of the He-Ne laser has a smaller cross-section than that of the Nd:YAG laser, the beam 10' emitted by the He-Ne laser is widened by a telescopic system 14', 14 before it is combined coaxially at the beam splitter plate 4 with the therapy laser beam 9' from the laser 9. By a further telescope system 3', 3 the two laser ray paths, now coaxial with each other, are widened to the diameter of the objective 2, thereby obtaining a large radiation aperture. A receiver 13 measures the energy of the Nd:yag laser pulses. The reflecting mirrors 4a, 4b, and 4c serve to guide the laser beams along their respective paths as illustrated, the mirror 4a allowing some of the energy to pass through so as to be measured by the receiver or meter 13 above mentioned.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated diagrammatically in FIGS. 2a and 3, the invisible pulsed neodymium-YAG radiation 9' is marked or indicated by the He-Ne laser continuous light beam 10'. The two radiation beams are coaxial and are focused at the point 16, at the eye of the patient being treated. Because of the fixed association of the two lasers, the user can be certain that he knows the focus of the dangerous yag laser radiation at all times and under all conditions. For better focusing, however, the cross sections of the two laser beams are different, as will be explained in further detail with reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b.
As shown in FIG. 4a, the Nd:YAG radiation 17 fills a circular cross-section around the axis 18. Contrasted with this, the cross-section of the beam from the He-Ne marker laser is in two parts 19 and 19', as shown in FIG. 4b, each part being a sector of a circle, separated from each other and symmetrical with respect to the axis 18 and to a horizontal axis 20.
The radius of the circle from which these two sectors 19 and 19' are formed is greater than the radius of the circle 17 of the Nd:yag laser radiation. In this way it is assured that the Nd:yag radiation is always emitted within the cone of the He-Ne light. A merging of the two individual beams 19 and 19' takes place only at the focusing point 16. In every other transverse plane, the two beams 19 and 19' are separated by a zone which is free of light. This is a great help to the user in focusing. It also has the result that the focus which is produced on the axis 18 can be seen with good contrast in the optical medium, since no scattered or reflected light can be produced in the masked region between the two individual beams 19 and 19'.
A focusing aid mechanism is illustrated in FIG. 5. Here, the two individual sector beams 19 and 19' are alternately disconnected and connected (blocked and unblocked) by shutter means. If the ray paths are alternately cut or blocked at a plane which is not identical with the focusing plane, then the user has the impression that the light projections which he sees are blinking, and this is found to assist accurate focusing.
The illustrated mechanism for accomplishing this focusing enhancement comprises primarily a bar diaphragm 21 which is moved back and forth across the cross-section of the beam, perpendicular to the direction of the beam. This is done by means of a motor driven eccentric or cam 23 which turns on its axis 24 and acts on the diaphragm bar 21 to raise it on its pivotal axis 22 against the action of a spring 25 which pulls the bar downwardly. As the cam rotates, the diaphragm will rise and fall, blocking alternately the two visible radiation sectors 19 and 19'.
Because of the only slight divergence of the laser radiation, the shutter mechanism can be installed in front of the beam expansion system, and thus can be made very small. A further simplification of the shutter mechanism is possible, wherein the bar diaphragm is itself of elastic material, such as a spring wire, clamped fast at one end and acted upon by the eccentric or cam as above described. If the diaphragm itself is a spring wire or made of other elastic material, this eliminates the need for the pivot 22 and the return spring 25.
The frequency of the blinking of this focusing device is preferably about one Hz (one cycle per second). It can be varied to suit the preference of the user, by changing the speed of the driving motor (usually a small electric motor) which rotates the eccentric or cam 24. Also, this dynamic focusing aid may be placed completely out of action very easily, if preferred by the user, simply by pulling the diaphragm member up to a position where it does not obstruct the beam, and securing it in that position.
Since the modulation transfer function for the individual QCams is 100% while in the focusing plane it is at most 50%, the user has the impression that the focal point is constant in time. The dynamic focusing means above described is of great advantage especially when the focus is to be imaged into a system of reflective spherical surfaces, such as the eye represents. The reflections can lead to points of virtual focus which must not be confused with the true point of focus, which alone is subject to refraction at such surfaces. The danger of confusion is present also for the reason that the intensity of the reflections as seen by the viewer may be greater than the intensity of the true focus point, which is indicated to the user, after all, only by scattering and scatter reflection in the medium. The dynamic focusing means above described has the effect that all points of reflection blink, and they represent themselves differently to the left viewing path than to the right viewing path. Only the true point of focus is seen with both the right eye and the left eye of the user with approximately the same intensity and relative quiet.

Title: Proper spacing for planting yuccas
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:We bought some yuccas and need to know how far apart to plant them
In general, yuccas and most other xeric plants look best if given plenty of space. That is, they have some separation when mature. However, they can look good when done in small clumps of three or so. One thing to consider is the effect you are trying to achieve. Are you planning to xeriscape your yard, or do you want to create a barrier with the yuccas?
Another factor to think about is the mature size of your yuccas; ie how big are they going to get (both height and width)? Knowing the Botanical name of the plants would be useful here. The nursery where you bought them may be able to help you with the name, as well as provide suggestions for properly planting them.
For more information about yuccas, go to our website and click on EXPLORE PLANTS. Type Yucca in the appropriate space, click "go", and you will get a list of 28 species that either are in the genus Yucca, or have yucca as part of their common name. If you chose the NARROW YOUR SEARCH optio and chose Texas in the Select a State or Prrovince box,and then click the Narrow your search box, your list will narrow to 18 species. Clicking on any name on the list will take you to the NATIVE PLANT DATABASE page for that plant. There you can learn characteristics of the plant, such as habitat, size, growing conditions, benefits, etc. The ADDITIONAL RESOURCES box toward the bottom of the page can link you to further informatiion sources on Google.

Even as global readership rate increase across the digital news sector, UK publishers are struggling to adapt to the industry's shift from print to online media: PwC's latest Entertainment and Media report covering 2013-2017 projects that the UK's B2B publishers, newspapers, and consumer magazines will see a net fall in revenues over the next four years. With 22% of UK adults now using ad blocking software, native content is proving to be a smarter way for publishers to replace print ad revenue than banner ads and popups.

By now, most of us know the basic ingredients for a good website: robust content comprising multimedia experiences from traditional text to the newest video applications. Add in a splash of all the bells and whistles that make a website dynamic and engaging and fold in a solid search technology that makes all of that content findable and usable, and you've got a winner.
The mobile experience, though, is still a relatively new concept compared to the traditional web-so figuring out how to provide the best mobile search interface remains a work in progress. Yet organizations are wasting no time working with the technology to expand their traditional web search capabilities into the mobile space. The immediate goal is to learn just what the tools need to offer through search interfaces in order to provide an equally satisfying and effective search solution for mobile site visitors.
It's a goal the companies know they can't waste time working to achieve. People are increasingly turning to their mobile devices as web searching tools. They are beginning to rely heavily on mobile search to quickly find the information they need to make decisions about anything from treatment of a health condition to what kind of car they want to buy. These searchers don't have time to waste. They want to enter just one or two keywords and receive their answer within the first batch of search results.
"From the customers' point of view, they want to have the most up to date, accurate information, no matter what they're doing," says Katrina Gosek, media and publishing market lead for the ebusiness team at Endeca Technologies, a search application provider. "The consumer wants the same information across all channels."
To meet the demands of search users within the mobile channel, companies need to truly understand the context in which mobile users will search their content. Only then can they provide a search interface and tools that provide results that target those users' specific queries. "Search results have to have some sort of context of what is the searcher doing, and what goals the searcher has," says Sarah Glass, a researcher with Forrester Research, Inc. "Their goals, because they're moving around and about in the world, are very different. They're very immediate in nature."
In this environment, quick results are more important than ever. "It's trying to deliver an immediate solution that's relevant to that context," adds Glass. "It's very different from online to mobile. Online, people are going to research for hours and hours. On their mobile phone, they're going to find the answer and act on it, typically within an hour of doing that search query."
David Kopp, senior vice president of network and advertising services at Healthline Networks, Inc., says the healthcare information company discovered that in the healthcare space, mobile devices are used in very specific ways. Healthline Networks has noticed that the search terms people use with mobile devices are different from search terms they use on PC sites. "We categorize them as topics. They are things, for whatever reason, people are not totally comfortable searching from their PC about," explains Kopp. "They close the door and search from their mobile device."
Healthline Networks mobile users also search for physicians (name and address) from their mobile devices, which isn't surprising since they are typically traveling to an appointment when they search for such information. But, says Kopp, the searches can also intensify once users get to the physician's office. At that point, they are in the waiting room and want to do some research so they can ask better questions during their appointment, Kopp says. They also use mobile search after the visit to conduct research related to news the physician provided.
Auto Trader, a U.K.-based automotive website, uses Endeca Technologies' search solutions to power its search platform across different types of media. According to Jody Goodall, head of research and development for Trader Media at Auto Trader, the searches mobile users conduct are similar to those conducted by users of other channels. Users typically search for a particular make, model, and body style of a vehicle. They also use the search to conduct comparison shopping in order to determine what price they should pay for a vehicle and what price they should expect for a trade-in.
Mobile users often are searching for this information when they are in a car dealership and are very close to making a vehicle purchase.

Happy Independence Day, folks. July 4th, 1776 was the day our forefathers declared independence in a remarkable document that's worth your full read. We at Football Perspective wish you a very happy, and very safe, Fourth of July.

John Cage was one of the most innovative and important composers of the twentieth century. He influenced not only contemporaries but also younger generations, including artists from Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley to the Beatles, Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Sonic Youth, and Radiohead. His work and ideas have reached beyond the world of music to dance, painting, video art, printmaking, and poetry, and he remains a defining force in the whole climate of contemporary culture. Among experimental artists of the twenty-first century, it would be difficult to list any not influenced by Cage.
The Roaring Silence was first published in 1992, intended to coincide with John Cage's eightieth birthday. The first full-length biography of this American master, it was written with his full cooperation. Now expanded and revised in the light of fresh reflections and new research, it documents Cage's life in unrivaled detail, interweaving a close account of the evolution of his work with an exploration of his aesthetic and philosophical ideas. While paying close attention to Cage's inventions, such as the prepared piano, and his pioneering use of indeterminate notation and chance operations in composition (utilizing the I Ching), David Revill also illuminates Cage the performer, print maker, watercolorist, expert mycologist, game show celebrity, political anarchist, and macrobiotic cook.
Arnold Schoenberg once called Cage ?not a composer, but an inventor?of genius." The Roaring Silence celebrates the life and work of this true American original.

: Rémi LaClaire
: 15
: Male
: 10
Unfortunately for Rémi, he was cursed with an appearance that was bizarrely similar to his sister. Well, the fact that they would look alike is a given, since they're twins, but Rémi seems to have acquired a more feminine physique than a normal boy would. Like his sister, his hair is a chestnut brown, although his is shoulder length and tied into a small ponytail at the back with a light green hairband, while he allows his bangs to fall over his forehead. His eyes, also forest green like his sister, seem to have a blank look that while they seem to look at nothing, seem as if they are looking at everything. His face is where his curse begins, as it is surprisingly soft looking and femine, although it isn't quite obviously male... almost. He also has a scarily thin frame for a guy, which is odd considering he is so good at sports. Rémi's black sports jacket is the perfect size for him, and is only buttoned halfway, revealing his loose white dress shirt and personalized light green tie. The outfit is accompanied by the standard black dress pants worn by all of the male students, which fall down and overlap his black dress shoes. While you can't see them, his socks are white and he wears them halfway up his lower leg.
When given the choice of casual clothing, Rémi only wears specific types of street clothing. His personal favorite clothing article to wear is a hooded, zip up sweater. He can usually be found wearing a dark green sweater of this type, with a white "L" on the back of the sweater. Underneath this, he usually wears a white muscle shirt. The upper portion of the outfit is accompanied by the navy blue jeans he wears on his lower body. This is all matched with a pair of black running shoes.
Rémi, while his sister's twin, has a much different personality in comparison. Unlike Corrine, who is seemingly innocent and kind beyond belief, Rémi
very inconsiderate and rude. Lazy from his mother's womb, he fails to see the necessity in putting effort into the things he does. That isn't to say he's a failure or anything. In fact, the reason he shows no willingness to do anything is because he excels at everything. He doesn't feel the need to answer to anyone other than Corrine, as she is his dearest sister and they have been close since birth. Because of this bond, he tends to treat her differently than he does other people. She is one of the few people he will smile for, and while he has no difficulty providing her with respect, advice, and his overall attention, he tends to zone out the voices and actions of the people around him that are not her. Because of this, people tend to disregard him as a decent person, and assume that he is inconsiderate about other people. That is untrue, as in reality, in his own mind, he considers himself being considerate. After all, who wants to be shown up all the time? While an arrogant point of view, that's how he thinks. He does have more of a personality than that. In fact, he really is a cheerful and fun loving guy once you pierce the barrier that separates him from the rest of the world like his sister has. Having been raised alongside his sister, he is also more social with women than with men, especially friends of Corrine. As a result, he's anything short of well traveled in the respect of having girlfriends. It's just... he hasn't found a girl capable of holding his attention for very long, so he breaks up with them shortly after. Despite this, he does like the prospect of having a girlfriend, but is generally afraid of making a move when he meets one he likes. this is where Corrine comes in to motivate him to take action. Whether she likes it or not, Rémi has taken the role of Corrine's protector. Whenever she decides to date a boy, he is quick to make it clear to the boy that if he hurts her, Rémi will hurt him. Luckily for these boys, Corinne has broken up with them every time, so Rémi hasn't had to do anything... yet.
Rémi and Corinne LaClaire were born and raised in Paris, France. They're parents were surprised to find that the child they were supposed to have was actually a pair of twins, but they accepted the two all the same. The two were raised in a very nuturing environment by a pair of very loving, yet financially impaired parents. The two siblings were inseperable, and spent all of their childhood together. They were real hand fulls at school, as they were constantly causing trouble for their teachers by pulling pranks. All was going well until they turned ten, and their mother passed away because of an illness. As a result, the two siblings began to distinguish themselves from each other. Without a provider in the family, Corinne took on the role and began to cook and clean their house, while Rémi pursued a path of success in memory of his mother, who always had wanted him to succeed. Despite the hardships, the twins still stuck together, they were just obtaining separate interests and beliefs. When they became freshmen, the two siblings were accepted into two seperate schools that were usually for the wealthy, although they were accepted because of they're abilities. These schools were Lahea's and Larmon's. A year without each other later, the two schools were merged anf they became able to see each other constantly again.
: Corinne LaClaire
: 15
: Female
: 10
To match her innocent personality, Corinne also has a seemingly innocent appearance. Her chestnut hair is her most obvious charm. While long enough to reach just below her butt when straight, is always in large curls at the ends but straight otherwise. Her bangs frame her face and the middle is brushed aside to keep them out of her eyes. When her hair is curled like this, it actually just reaches her waist because the curls are so large at the bottom. Her eyes, which seem to glisten joyfully in the light, are forest green in colour to compliment her hair. She has the same average height of her brother, and she also has a very thin frame, with an average bust size. Her skin holds a fair complexion, and is very soft. She believes in natural beauty, and thus she rarely wears makeup of any sort, despite her lips barely being pink. Corinne's black blazer seems to be slightly too big for her, as it hangs off of her thin frame slightly, with the top two buttons unbuttoned, revealing a little more of the white blouse underneath than a blazer that fit would. The white blouse itself is actually in an opposite situation than the blazer, as the blouse is a size too small and outlines ever curve of her body. Thankfully the blazer covers most of it. If her blazer becomes too loose and falls off or something, she is quick to cover herself back up because she is embarassed. Corinne chooses to wear the knee length, pleated grey skirt, as she doesn't like to show too much skin. In place of socks, she wears think black stockings that go all the way up to below her skirt. Finally, she wears a pair of black pennyloafers on her petite feet. The ribbon on her uniform is light green, which goes perfectly with her hair colour.
Corinne is required to wear a different uniform when she participated in tennis. It consists, essentially, of a plain white skirt which reaches just past her knees, along with a white, short sleeved top with the school's name in the top right. This is all accompanied by a pair of white running shoes. She also required to pull her hair into a ponytail.
Her casual outfit is quite simple as well. Her hair remains in the same style, but she dresses in a much more casual fashion. She sports a pair of tight blue jeans along with a light green tanktop. In the top center of the light green tanktop is a forest green oval that spans it horizontally, and the spaghetti straps are the same colour of forest green. Her shoes are the exact same white running shoes that she uses for tennis.
Corinne, in comparison to her brother, is the more social of the LaClaire twins. Unlike Rémi, her lazy counterpart, Corinne gives off an aura of innocence and initiative, often to the point where she is taken advantage of because of her personality. She is a social butterfly, always found talking with her many friends, and a lot of the time when she's not with her friends, she's with Rémi. Naturally a caring girl, she is often said by people to be a very "motherly" person. She cooks for her friends and family, has nothing against cleaning, and is always keeping an eye out for the best interests of those closest to her. She takes on the role of Rémi's provider, often doing things for him like washing his clothes, and she is constantly trying to motivate him to commit to things like sports, club activities, and girls. Most of the time she has a very cheery persona, to the point where she'll even try and lighten up even the gloomiest of situations. Unfortunately, she is a bit oblivious, sometimes missing important pieces of information and misinterpreting things. It's actually ironic that she is thought of as one of the most intelligent girls in her year. Pairing this quality with her general clumsiness is dangerous. She has an occassional affinity for tripping and dropping things, which usually leaves her in strange predicaments. Once again ironic, she is one of the school's star tennis players, and the captain of the team. In regards to dating, Corinne has only dated a few boys over the course of her life. She is usually fairly popular with the guys because of her sincerity and extremely kind personality, but Corrine herself is extremely confused about romance and often can't handle relationships well. She becomes flustered, and not knowing what else to do, she breaks up with them out of fear.
: See Rémi's.

FCC Hearings on Janet Jackson Escapade Are Seen as TheaterRoundup: Media's Take
David Zurawik, writing in the Baltimore Sun (Feb. 11, 2004)
Indecency on the airwaves has become such a hot button issue since Janet Jackson's Super Bowl stunt that there will be two hearings today in Washington - and no shortage of politicians and regulators making pronouncements about the decline in broadcast standards as they promise reform.
But even as the TV networks race to delete images of nudity and sex from such prime-time dramas as ER and Without a Trace in an effort to show that they can police themselves, media historians and analysts say real, lasting change is unlikely. As dramatic as the pictures and soundbites coming out of Washington today might be, it will be mostly political posturing, the experts say, merely the latest movement in a dance between Hollywood and Washington that started with the Communications Act of 1934.
"It is absolutely political theater - especially on the part of Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Powell," said Douglas Gomery, resident scholar at the American Library of Broadcasting at the University of Maryland in College Park and co-author of Who Owns the Media?"These hearings are not going to result in any meaningful change in the kind of television that comes into our homes over the network airwaves."...
... Today's hearing in the House is on legislation that would fine stations 10 times the current amount for carrying material judged indecent by the FCC. Network officials, FCC commissioners and representatives of the National Football League will testify before the House panel today.
"With my bill multiplying FCC fines for indecency tenfold, networks will do more than just apologize for airing such brazen material, they will be paying big bucks for their offenses," said Republican Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who introduced the legislation before the Super Bowl flap.
At the Senate hearing, most eyes will be on Ernest Hollings of South Carolina, the ranking Democrat, who wants to link increased fines for indecency to a ban on violent programming between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Furthermore, Hollings wants the FCC to revoke the licenses of stations that air indecent or violent material during those hours. License revocation is the most severe penalty the FCC can impose. Powell and the four other FCC commissioners will go from the Senate hearing to Upton's House inquiry.
But analysts say there is little chance Hollings' ban on violence and call for license revocation will ever become law. And, while Upton's effort to increase maximum fines to $275,000 from the current $27,500 is expected to pass with President Bush backing it as a way to help parents protect children from unwanted media messages, it will result in little change...
...The one thing on which all media analysts agreed is the importance of seeing today's hearings and the Super Bowl fallout in context of the larger issue of media consolidation on the part of companies like Viacom.
The flurry of self-censorship since the Super Bowl - a fairly transparent attempt by the networks to convince Washington that they can be trusted to self-regulate - does raise some First Amendment concerns. As John Wells, president of the Writer's Guild and executive producer of ER, said last week, such actions could"have a chilling effect on the narrative integrity of adult dramas." But the FCC does not regulate cable, so HBO and the other channels can continue to do adult content no matter what happens in the hearings.
Furthermore, at this point, such First Amendment concerns are nothing compared to the rule changes championed by Powell last year that would allow a company to own TV stations that reach 45 percent of the households in the United States (up from 35 percent). The protests to that FCC action were so widespread that Congress responded with legislation capping ownership at 39 percent.
The battle continues, but Powell's credibility and image have been bloodied, and experts say his outrage over Jackson's bare breast is an attempt to shift the focus of the debate...

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) – A U.S. Army general facing court martial on sexual assault charges is again seeking to have the case against him dismissed.
Lawyers for Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair filed a motion made public Tuesday asking Military Judge Col. James Pohl to throw out the case. Sinclair's lawyers argued that testimony from the primary witness against him is unreliable and that top Pentagon brass improperly meddled in prosecutorial decisions.
Pohl has denied at least two past motions to dismiss from the defense. Sinclair's court martial is set to begin March 4 at Fort Bragg.
Sinclair has pleaded not guilty to eight criminal counts, including forcible sodomy, indecent acts and conduct unbecoming an officer. The 51-year-old married father of two faces life in prison if convicted.
