Makes 3 ½ cups
"When life gives you lemons -- make limoncello," says my friend in Italy, where I learned to enjoy the Italian custom of sipping this digestif after dinner. The liqueur is available in many American liquor stores, but it's fun to make your own, like the Italians do.
Best stored in the freezer, Limoncello can be served straight up in a tiny chilled glass, or as a palate-cleanser during or after a multicourse meal. For a special dessert, blend limoncello with ice cream. Begin the simple process of making Limoncello now for holiday gifts; you'll find attractive bottles and corks in gourmet and import shops.
2 cups 100-proof vodka
Zest of 5 lemons, preferably organic
2 cups water
1 ½ cups sugar
Combine the vodka and lemon zest in a 1-quart covered glass jar; let stand at room temperature for 3 days.
Make a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and bring to room temperature.
Stir the syrup into the jar containing the vodka. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve; discard the lemon zest.
Pour the Limoncello into one or more clean glass bottles and cap tightly. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005, has covered the Baltimore Police Department since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.'s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen and a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman.
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a brief supporting a challenge to the use of a cellphone tracking device in a federal case in Maryland, arguing that the technology raises "serious Fourth Amendment concerns" and that authorities misled a judge in obtaining a court order.
Prosecutors announced new indictments Monday of Baltimore jail staff, the same day a top corrections official testified in the federal corruption trial of eight inmates and corrections officers about the difficulty containing misconduct in the system.
A Western Maryland woman whose parents were killed by a man on death row urged Gov. Martin O'Malley in a phone conversation Monday not to commute the man's sentence.
When federal prosecutors told a Baltimore defense attorney this month that authorities had used a high-tech device to track his client, it was more than a simple step in the legal discovery process.
With two months left in office, Gov. Martin O'Malley has asked to meet with at least two families whose loved ones were killed by men on Maryland's death row — a move that might signal the governor is poised to take action on death penalty cases.
The Black Guerrilla Family gang leader who prosecutors say essentially took over Baltimore's jail while an inmate there will be the government's star witness against the eight remaining defendants, attorneys said as the trial opened Wednesday.
A Baltimore man with two prior convictions for attempted murder was sentenced to a mandatory 25 years in prison without parole for throwing a pot of boiling water on his roommate at a halfway house.
Baltimore prosecutors withdrew key evidence in a robbery case Monday rather than reveal details of the cellphone tracking technology police used to gather it.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electro-optical device which provides fine display images. More specifically, it relates to a dispersion type liquid crystal electro-optical device (polymer-dispersion liquid crystal (PDLC) electro-optical device) comprising a plurality of electrodes having incorporated therebetween light shielding portions having specified height.
2. Prior Art
Liquid crystal displays are now replacing conventional display devices such as televisions equipped with cathode ray tubes (CRTs), because liquid crystal displays are thinner, compact, light weight, and consume low power. With progress in technology, liquid crystal displays operating in an STN (super twisted nematic) type mode have become dominant over those of a TN (twisted nematic) type mode, and also their use has extended widely from watches to the field of word processors and liquid crystal television sets.
It is indispensable in those displays, however, to incorporate one or two polarizer sheets in the liquid crystal cell. Because the light transmittance per polarizer sheet is as low as in the range of from 40 to 50%, the light transmittance of a TN type display using the polarizer sheet(s) as a result falls to a low 10 to 30% even in the bright state (the state of transmitting light). Accordingly, an additional backlighting is requisite to compensate for the optical loss to lighten the dark display.
Recently, polymer-dispersed liquid crystals free from the aforementioned polarizer sheets and which provide bright displays of high contrast images are studied more extensively. This type of liquid crystal comprises an electro-optical modulating layer based on a transparent solid phase polymer having dispersed therein granular or sponge-like nematic, cholesteric, or smectic liquid crystal materials. A known process for fabricating an electro-optical device of this type comprises dispersing liquid crystals in a polymer by encapsulating the liquid crystal, and then establishing the polymer as a thin film on a film or a substrate. Proposed materials for encapsulating the liquid crystal include gelatin, gum arabic, and poly(vinyl alcohol).
For instance, liquid crystal molecules being encapsulated in poly(vinyl alcohol) and having a positive dielectric anisotropy arrange themselves along a single direction on applying an external electric field, in such a manner that the molecules orient their major axes along the direction parallel to the direction of the electric field. If the refractive index of the oriented liquid crystal molecules is equal to that of the polymer, a light can pass straight forward through this portion. Hence, in this case, light can be transmitted through this portion.
If no external electric field is applied to the liquid crystal, the liquid crystal molecules do not take a particular arrangement and the major axes thereof yield a random orientation. Accordingly, the refractive index of the polymer becomes different from that of the liquid crystal. Thus, in this case, a light passing through this portion is scattered that the liquid crystal exhibits an opaque (milky white) appearance.
PDLC electro-optical devices are not only confined to those comprising encapsulated liquid crystals as described above, but also various others of this type are known to the present. PDLC electro-optical devices include those comprising an electro-optical modulating layer which takes advantage of, for example, an epoxy resin having dispersed therein liquid crystals, a phase separation between the liquid crystal and a photo-curable resin, a three-dimensionally connected polymer having impregnated with liquid crystal, and a cholesteric/nematic phase transition. All those are collectively referred to as PDLC electro-optical device in the present invention.
In a PDLC electro-optical device of this type, as mentioned hereinbefore, the liquid crystal molecules arrange themselves in such a manner that the major axes of the molecules take a random orientation. Accordingly, a light incident to this portion is scattered and changes its optical path upon passing through the liquid crystal system. A PDLC electro-optical device having a plurality of electrodes and driven by a matrix provides superfine displays. Those displays may be driven in various manners, for example, by a simple matrix obtained by patterning a transparent electrode and by thin film transistors (TFTs) provided in each of the pixels. At any rate, because such PDLC electro-optical devices deal a large information with a superfine display, they comprise pixels in high integration. Hence, the distance between the pixels becomes very short.
In a well-known type of liquid crystal displays driven by TFTs, black stripes as light shields are provided between the pixels to prevent light from leaking, because the liquid crystal cannot be controlled at portions between the pixels. The black stripes are provided, for example, by printing black pigments, by patterning pigments using photographic processes, and by film depositing and patterning light-shielding metals such as aluminum and chromium. Those black stripes prevent the leak light from being transmitted between the pixels.
In a conventional type of liquid crystal electro-optical device using a nematic liquid crystal, the light incident to the device from the light source provided on the back of the device passes straight forward through the pixels without considerably deviating its light path. An `OFF` state can be selected from an `ON` state by cutting off the light path with a plane of a desired pixel. In this manner, the light corresponding to the neighboring pixels can be distinguished by the pixel having turned `OFF` and a black plane (thin) stripe which prevents light leakage from occurring between the pixels. A thin film of a metal having a thickness of from 500 to 1000 Å and having a low light transmittance works sufficiently as a light shield.
A PDLC electro-optical device, however, is different from the aforementioned liquid crystal electro-optical device operating on a TN mode. That is, the 'OFF's and 'ON's of a PDLC electro-optical device are realized by whether the incident light is scattered or is allowed to pass straight forward through the cell. In a PDLC electro-optical device having a 500 Å thick thin film of a metal as a black stripe, for example, the light being scattered from the neighboring pixels mix to result in not only leak light but also blurring of image. Accordingly, the black stripe no longer functions as a light shield.
Optical switching of a PDLC electro-optical device is realized between a state of scattering the light and a state of transmitting the light. The former state can be obtained by changing the light path of the light passing through the electro-optical modulating layer by taking advantage of a random orientation of liquid crystal molecules having anisotropy of refractive index. The latter state can be achieved by applying an external electric field to the electro-optical modulating layer so as to arrange the liquid crystal molecules in one direction, so that the light passing through the electro-optical modulating layer may proceed straight forward along the direction of incidence without being scattered. Accordingly, the black stripes for use as light shields are not effective for a PDLC electro-optical devices. That is, the problem resides in the fact that a black stripe, which is a plane extending in two dimensions, is used as a light shield for a light spreading in three dimensions.
The present invention provides a PDLC electro-optical device comprising a three-dimensionally spreading light shield. More specifically, the polymer-dispersed liquid crystal electro-optical device according to the present invention comprises, between the pixels, a light shield having a specified height to prevent scattered light from entering the desired pixel, thereby reducing blurring.
An electro-optical device in accordance with the present invention comprises:
a pair of substrates;
a plurality of electrodes provided on one of said substrates;
an electro-optical modulating layer provided between said substrates and comprising liquid crystal molecules; and
a part (hereinafter, referred to as light shield) for preventing transmission of a light, said part being provided between two of said electrodes or on one of said electrodes and having a height H satisfying relation 2(D-H)tan θ<L where D is a distance between said substrates, L is a width of said part, and θ is a diffusion angle (scattering angle) when major axes of said liquid crystal molecules are at random.
FIG. 1 shows schematically a structure of a PDLC cell of a conventional type;
FIG. 2 shows a cross sectional view of a PDLC cell according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 shows schematically a laminator apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 shows the phase diagram of a liquid crystal used in Example 1 according to the present invention;
FIG. 5 shows the light transmittance--voltage curve of the PDLC used in Example 1 according to the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a graph showing light scattering properties of the PDLC used in Example 1 according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, a PDLC electro-optical device according to the present invention is described in detail below.
The light shield having a specified height to prevent scattered light from entering the desired pixel as mentioned above can be provided by setting the parameters for the electro-optical modulating layer 108, light shield 104, and the apparent angle of scattering in the electro-optical modulating layer as given in Table 1 below.
TABLE 1______________________________________Thickness of the electro-optical D (μm)modulating layer of the PDLCelectro-optical deviceWidth of the black stripes provided L (μm)between the pixelsHeight of the black stripes H (μm)Angle of scattering in the θ (degree)electro-optical modulating layer______________________________________
A transmitted light at the vicinity of a pixel is scattered at an amount corresponding to the thickness (D-H) (the thickness which remains after subtracting the thickness of the light shield 104 from the thickness of the electro-optical modulating layer 108). The distance of scattering can be expressed by Eq. (1) below:
(D-H)tan θ (1)
Because light is scattered simultaneously from the two pixels neighboring to the light shield 104 in the electro-optical modulating layer, relation (2) must be satisfied so that the light scattered from the neighboring two pixels may not be superposed on the light shield 104.
L>2 (D-H)tan θ (2)
If the parameters above fulfill this relation, the light beams having transmitted through the two different pixels in the electro-optical modulating layer are separated from each other. Accordingly, two different pixels are recognized. In the conventional liquid crystal devices having low light shields, on the contrary, apparently, a pixel could not be discriminated from the other because twice the distance of light scattering exceeded the width of the light shield between the pixels.
In the relations above, the scattering angle θ can be determined by using a cell of a general use PDLC electro-optical device equipped with a light source emitting a light of single wavelength. For example, a practically useful liquid crystal electro-optical device can be fabricated based on a scattering angle θ determined by using a He-Ne laser. That is, even if a liquid crystal electro-optical device were to be fabricated using the scattering angle θ above while controlling the other parameters as to satisfy eq. (1), pixels can be discriminated from each other with a sufficient clarity. Thus, it can be seen that a scattering angle having determined using a light source emitting a visible light of a single wavelength satisfactorily serves as a parameter for determining the light shield according to the present invention.
In FIG. 2, the light shield (the black stripe) is formed in the form of prism, and the width L of the light shield is a width of the prism and H of Table i is a height of the prism. Also, in FIG. 2, L of Table 1 is a distance between adjacent two of the electrodes in the same direction as the width of the light shield (the black stripe).
The present invention is illustrated in greater detail referring to non-limiting examples below. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not to be construed as being limited thereto.
A preliminary experiment was carried out to determine the parameters for fabricating the liquid crystal electro-optical device according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the preliminary experiment is described in detail first. A PDLC cell was fabricated in a manner shown schematically in FIG. 1. The degree of light scattering was measured on the same PDLC cell. Light-transmitting electrically conductive films 101 and 101' were established on light-transmitting substrates 100 and 100' by depositing, e.g., an oxide of indium and tin (ITO), zinc oxide, etc., using vapor deposition or sputtering to a thickness in the range of from 500 to 2,000 Å. In this example, an ITO film was used. The film has a sheet resistivity of from 20 to 200 Ω/cm2.
The ITO film was then patterned by a conventional photolithographic process. More particularly, the ITO film was covered with a resist resin of a predetermined pattern, and the uncovered portion of the conductive film was dissolved using an etchant to obtain a substrate coated with a patterned ITO. The etchant to be used in this step may be an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, or an aqueous solution of ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid. The etchant may be heated, if necessary, to about 60� C. to accelerate the reaction rate.
Then, spacers were scattered on the liquid crystal substrate thus obtained. The spacers maintain constant the spacing between substrates. Several tens of milligrams of spacers were weighed out, and were added into 50 ml of isopropyl alcohol. The dispersion thus obtained was sprayed on the substrate using a spinner or a spray to place from 10 to 200 spacers on the substrate. The substrate was then faced against the other substrate. In this manner, a cell having a cell spacing maintained at a constant value by means of spacers was fabricated.
A dispersion to give the electro-optical modulating layer was injected into the cell taking advantage of a capillary phenomenon or by making use of a vacuum process. The electro-optical modulating layer has a network structure which comprises a resin 103 and a number of liquid crystal droplets 102 being surrounded by the resin 103. In this example, BL-001 (liquid crystal material manufactured by BDH Corp.) having a refractive index (for ordinary light) of 1.521 and an anisotropy in refractive index of 0.225 was dispersed in an ultraviolet (UV) curable resin NOA065 (a product of Noland Co., Ltd.) having the same refractive index as that of the liquid crystal material (1.521) to obtain the dispersion for the electro-optical modulating layer. The liquid crystal undergoes phase transition from an isotropic phase to liquid crystal phase at 61� C.
It can be seen that the cell turns almost perfectly transparent when an electric field is applied to the cell, because the refractive index of the liquid crystal is adjusted to that of the polymer. In the scattering mode which is realized when no electric field is applied, a higher scattering can be expected by using a liquid crystal material having a larger anisotropy in the refractive index. It is therefore a key in producing a liquid crystal display that the refractive indices of the liquid crystal material and the resin are adjusted to make the best of the light transmittance in the powered state and the light scattering in the unpowered state.
In FIG. 4 is given the change in temperature of phase transition from an isotropic phase to a liquid crystal phase with change in the mixing ratio of the liquid crystal material and the UV curable resin. A 7:3 mixture of liquid crystal and resin undergoes phase transition at 19� C. This 7:3 mixture of liquid crystal and resin was subjected to UV irradiation to obtain an electro-optical modulating layer. A mercury/xenon lamp was used as a UV light source. Spectroscopically, this lamp yields a maximum intensity at a wavelength of 365 nm. Upon irradiation of UV at an intensity of 10 mW/cm2 the electro-optical modulating layer changed from a transparent state to an opaque milky white state after passage of 20 seconds. Thus it was confirmed that the electro-optical modulating layer changes its state to scatter light. At this time, since an electric field is not applied to the electro-optical modulating layer, major axes of the liquid crystal molecules of the electro-optical modulating layer are at random and the electro-optical modulating layer scatters (diffuses) a light incident thereon at an angle of θ of Table 1 or less.
The above electro-optical modulating layer was washed with methanol to remove the liquid crystal material, and the structure of the layer was observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM observation revealed that the electro-optical modulating layer consists of a resin network containing liquid crystal materials being dispersed in pores 2 to 3 μm in size. The change in light transmittance of the PDLC cell with increasing applied voltage is shown in FIG. 5. It can be seen that the transmittance in the unpowered state of 3% abruptly increases to about 80% in the powered state, thus realizing favorably the light-scattering mode and a light-transmitting mode.
The light dispersion of the PDLC cell was measured by irradiating a He-Ne laser beam to the PDLC cell, and the light scattered from the cell was observed by the photomultiplier with the photomultiplier shifted along a direction vertical to the optical axis. In FIG. 6 is given the measured result. The light scattering of a blank (with no cells) was adjusted as such that the light intensity be approximately zero at a distance of about 3 mm from the center. On measuring the light scattering of the PDLC cell, it was found that a scattered light reached to as far as about 60 mm distant from the center. Considering that the cell was placed 100 mm away from the photodetector, the angle θ of light scattering was calculated from Eq. (3) below as 31�.
θ=tan-1 (60/100)=31 deg (3)
It should be noted, however, that the measurement had been done using a He-Ne laser; the value obtained is for a specific light at a wavelength of 632.82 nm. Because visible light generally include light in the shorter wavelength region, the angle of scattering tends to be larger than the value calculated above. In fact, however, the angle to the wavelength curve tends to be saturated at this value. Accordingly, this angle serves as a standard for assuming the other states in the shorter visible light wavelength region.
Once the parameters necessary for fabricating a liquid crystal electro-optical device are obtained through experimentation, a device as shown schematically in FIG. 2 can be fabricated.
Transparent conductive films 101 and 101' were deposited on transparent substrates 100 and 100'. The conductive films were then etched by a conventional photolithographic process into a predetermined pattern comprising a plurality of transparent electrodes, and columnar light shield portions (black stripes) 104 were established thereon e.g. in the form of prism. Black stripes were formed using photosensitive polyimide resins or acrylic resins for patterning, having mixed therein a black coloring pigment or dye.
In this manner, polymerization and crosslinking can be effected only on the resin portions subjected to photo-irradiation. The resin portions which were not irradiated with light remain uncured. Accordingly, the non-irradiated portions can be washed away with a solvent. First, a glass substrate was coated with a polyimide solution containing a black pigment by using a spinner, offset printing, or screen printing. Then, after firing the coating at a temperature range of from 80� to 120� C., UV was irradiated thereto through a photomask. The unnecessary portions were washed away with a solvent and subsequently the substrate was subjected to firing at 200� to 300� C. The resulting substrate was faced against another substrate having provided thereon a thin film transistor (TFT) based on polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon). The substrates were fixed to maintain a predetermined spacing therebetween to give a cell. A liquid crystal material was injected into the resulting cell in the same manner described above to obtain an electro-optical modulating layer for the PDLC. The cell dimension was selected as such to satisfy Eq. (1) above; the height of the black stripes, distance between the pixels, thickness of the electro-optical modulating layer, and the scattering angle were fixed accordingly to 5 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, and 31 degrees, respectively.
The PDLC thus obtained according to the present invention had high light transmittance and provided a favorable display composed of clear pixels. A clear and favorable display was also obtained when the PDLC was used for projecting image on a wall.
In the aforementioned PDLC according to the present invention, the black stripes which serve as light shields increase their height with improving efficiency of light scattering, i.e. , with achieving higher contrast. Accordingly, some problems are encountered in fabricating the PDLC by a conventional process. In a prior art fabrication process, substrates having provided thereon black stripes are laminated taking a predetermined spacing therebetween, and a liquid crystal material for the electro-optical modulating layer or a material containing a liquid crystal is injected between the substrates by a vacuum process. Then, the resulting cell is subjected to treatments such as UV irradiation. If such a prior art process is applied to the fabrication of a PDLC according to the present invention as described above, a very narrow gap results between the substrate and the black matrix because of the presence of black stripes. Then, it becomes difficult to inject the liquid crystal material between the substrate and the matrix. Even though a capillary phenomena were to be taken advantage, it still is a hard task to inject the liquid crystal dense into a narrow gap.
The aforementioned problem arises from the fact that a conventional process is applied to the fabrication of liquid crystal devices comprising substrates having large protrusions, such as those according to the present invention. Accordingly, the PDLC of the present invention is fabricated by using a laminator to manage fabrication using a substrate having high columnar black stripes. FIG. 3 is a schematic of a laminator apparatus. A laminator comprises two adjacent vacuum chambers partitioned by a partitioner 107 which can be moved by virtue of difference in pressure between the two adjacent vacuum chambers. A first transparent substrate comprising thereon high columnar black stripes and an electrode, is placed in a first chamber 105. Then, while dropwise supplying liquid crystal on the first substrate, a second substrate 110 is aligned and faced against the first substrate.
The first and the second chambers are evacuated simultaneously to vacuum, and the internal pressure of the second chamber alone is elevated to recover the atmospheric pressure. At this point, a pressure of about 1 atmosphere is applied to the substrate inside the first chamber ascribed to the pressure difference between the first and the second chambers. Thus, the liquid crystal material is pressed against the substrate to spread thereon. By taking such means, the liquid crystal material can be uniformly spread free from the aforementioned problems even though columnar light shields (black stripes) according to the present invention are established, because the substrates are faced against each other and then moved towards each other under pressure from a distance far larger than the height of the black stripes until the spacing between the substrates become as small as the size of the spacers being scattered between them. Thus, by taking advantage of the process described above, a liquid crystal panel free from non-injected portions and having a completely controlled cell thickness results even on a liquid crystal cell based on substrates having large irregularities such as the black stripes of the present invention.
A device fabricated by means of a laminator apparatus is explained below as an example, referring to a schematic given in FIG. 3. The laminator apparatus comprises a first chamber 105 and a second chamber 106 being separated with a silicon resin sheet 107. The silicon resin sheet 107 partition moves to the lower pressure side when a pressure difference generates between the chambers. In the present example, the cell was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1. First, 5 μm size black stripes were formed in the form of prism on one transparent substrate 110. Next, resin spacers 10 μm in size were scattered on the substrate. A solution comprising a liquid crystal material was then provided dropwise over the black stripes on the substrate 110 having placed inside the first chamber of the laminator apparatus.
A second substrate equipped with a polysilicon-based TFT was provided in the first chamber and aligned and faced against the first substrate fabricated above with the solution therebetween by pressing the first substrate and the second substrate as follows. In the pressing step, the first and the second chambers of the laminator apparatus which were partitioned by a partitioner were evacuated at the same time with a rotary pump to a pressure of 1/10 Torr. At this point, the pressure inside the second chamber was increased to recover the atmospheric pressure. The first substrate and the second substrate are pressed by virtue of difference in pressure between the first chamber and the second chamber. In this manner, a liquid crystal layer having a thickness defined by the spacer as 10 μm was obtained. A UV light was irradiated to the cell in the next step to establish a PDLC layer. This treatment realizes a cell comprising two substrates being tightly adhered with each other by means of a PDLC electro-optical modulating layer. In practice, the outer periphery of the cell was fixed further with a UV curable resin. Thus was obtained a liquid crystal cell well endurable to reliability tests.
The PDLC thus obtained according to the present invention had high light transmittance and provided a favorable display composed of clear pixels. A clear and favorable display was also obtained when the PDLC was used for projecting image on a wall.
The electro-optical modulating layer was fabricated using a laminator in the present example. However, fabrication processes are not only restricted to this one and other processes such as a one comprising previously forming an electro-optical modulating layer on one of the substrates by a printing process and the like, and then finishing it into a liquid crystal electro-optical device by superposing the other substrate thereto may be employed as well.
As described in the foregoing, the use of a PDLC comprising black stripes of controlled height enables a PDLC device composed of clear and well discriminated pixels free from light leakage. As a result, an advantageous characteristics of a PDLC, i.e., a bright display having a high light transmittance was fully exhibited. Accordingly, each pixel provided a sharp image, and a very clear display as a whole was realized.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

The states with the rudest drivers....
Wednesday, Sep, 17 2014
According to a new survey from Insure.com, the rudest drivers in America are in Idaho. Washington D.C. is 2nd, followed by New York, Wyoming and Massachusetts.
But they took to the survey to a different level by asking residents in each state about which drivers from other states they hate the most.
Californians hate drivers from other states the most. The nicest drivers in the nation, according to the survey, are in North Dakota, Maine, New Hampshire, Montana, Minnesota, and Oregon. The things that most anger drivers about their fellow motorists are talking on a cellphone while driving, tailgating, refusing to use turn signals, weaving between lanes, and driving too fast.
According to this survey, Iowans are have the 15th-rudest drivers of the 50 states + Washington D.C. and Iowans hate drivers from Illinois the most.
Minnesota hates Wisconsin drivers and Wisconsin hates drivers from Illinois.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I loved this book! It is definitely a page-turner! The plot was very interesting. Ella was born into a noble family. She immediately receives a visitor, a fairy, Lucinda. Lucinda grants her a "blessing": she always has to be obedient. Now, it doesn't matter if she is ordered to do something dangerous or not, she has to follow it. Although Ella got cursed with this "blessing," everything was going great for her. But, then her mother passed away. At her mother's funeral, Ella just so happened to meet Kyrria's prince, Charmont. They have a simultaneous bond but shortly after, Ella is sent off to finish school with two selfish girls, Hattie and Olive. Next thing you know, they are her stepsisters! Towards the end of the book, Char asks Ella to marry him and she feels a lot of pressure to say yes. Char wants to marry her because he loves her but her stepfamily really wants her to marry him so they can get richer. But, she realizes that she can finally refuse an order! She refused the order, the spell got broken and because she was not forced into, she married Char. They then live happily ever after. As you can see, it is somewhat, a fairytale! I just so happen to love anything where love is involved ☺ There were absolutely no pictures in the book. I feel as if the message of the book is to go with your heart. So many people feel, "stuck" when it comes to certain situations but it is important to remember that we all create our own destiny!
Summary: Ella at birth was cursed with being obedient. She has to do everything she is told to do. Her mother dies when Ella is still young and her father is to busy working and sends her to finishing school with her new step sisters. They figure out that she has to do everything that she is told and makes her their slave. Ella is determined to break the curse so she sets out to find the Lucinda, the person that cursed her.
Personal summary: as much as I wish that my own children had this curse I can see where it was not realistic. Ella is a strong minded girl who is determined to create her own fate and not live with a curse. Our children need to learn to determine their own future and not let others make the choices for them.
Extension Projects:
1. Have students create a story where they can think of a specific curse. Have the class vote on the winning story and create a play and present it.
This book falls in the fantasy genre category and has been popular among young readers for many years. It tells the story of Ella who is very obedient and cannot disrespect her masters, She has to do whatever she is told and along the way finds out that she can revolt and does not need to always follow the strict rules. This is a good chapter book for an older age group. I would incorporate this into my classroom by doing activities with my students and asking them how they would feel if they were never allowed to do anything they wanted,
I liked the movie Ella Enchanted, but I liked the book much more. The book's descriptions of the characters, setting, and events. While reading I was able to visualize the story and see every detail in my head. Not only were the descriptions fantastic, but the moral of the story was just as good. Ella over comes her gift/curse and manages to ignore the demand of killing the Prince. Ella's story shows that good outweighs the evil, she has the will power to stand up for what is right even when the odds are fully stacked against her. The suspenseful story is another good way to get the children to learn doing what is right overtakes the popular requests. Students can see how Ella did not fall for peer pressure and neither should they. A well written book and good moral makes Ella Enchanted a must read.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060558865, Paperback)Every child longs for the day when he or she will be free from meddling parents and bossy grownups. For young Ella, the heroine of Gail Carson Levine's Newbury Honor-winning debut novel, this is more than a fanciful wish; it could be a matter of life or death. Placed under the spell of a blundering fairy, she has no choice but to go through life obeying each and every order--no matter what the consequences may be. "If you commanded me to cut off my own head, I'd have to do it."
Eden Riegel (As the World Turns, Les Miserables) uses her youthful, energetic voice to lead the listener into a familiar world of fairy godmothers, wicked stepsisters, and handsome princes. But this imaginative retelling of the Cinderella story comes with a welcome twist. Instead of a demure heroine patiently awaiting a prince who will carry her off, this Ella is a feisty ball of fire with the courage and ambition to take matters into her own hands.
Riegel narrates in a youthful, energetic tone that is perfectly suited to Ella's character. Her voice adds charm and immediacy to a wonderful story already rich with excitement, adventure, romance, and mystery. (Running time: 5.5 hours, 4 cassettes) --George Laney

Belmont police revert to 'traditional' cruisers
Belmont's old cruisers, like the one on the right, are gunmetal gray, but all-new cruisers will be like the new black-and-white cruiser on the left. (DAN SEUFERT PHOTO)
Former Police Chief Vincent Baiochetti, who retired at the end of 2012, convinced the selectmen 10 years ago to change the color of town police cruisers from traditional black and white to "gunmetal" gray, said Lt. Rich Mann.
But last fall, as new Chief Mark Lewandoski was preparing to take over, the department decided to go back to black-and-white cruisers, which are more easily identifiable to town residents, he said.
The department's new cruisers this year are four black-and-white Ford "police interceptor" vehicles. When department officials go back to the town to replace the departments remaining three gray cruisers next fall, they will ask for black-and-white cruisers again.
"People know who we are better in a black-and-white," Mann said.
"Before, they saw the gray vehicles and said, 'Oh, a Belmont cop,' whereas with the new cars, they realize the police are protecting their neighborhood."
Black and white cruisers are nationally the standard for law enforcement, he said, because of their public recognition value.
Belmont cruisers will now also resemble police vehicles in surrounding cities and towns, he said.
"So far, the public has been very supportive; people like the change," Mann said.
The new black-and-white cruisers will also save the town money because they have a higher resale value, he said. That's because the white decals on the door panels can be pulled off, leaving a plain black car.
The department also wants to change its pants color from gray to more traditional blue, but Lewandowski said that will only happen if residents donate money to pay for the change as part of the department's new "Ditch the Gray" campaign.
"The dark navy blue is more traditional," Mann said.
Those wishing to help pay for the new uniform pants can mail donations to the Town of Belmont, Ditch the Gray Campaign, P.O. Box 310, Belmont 03220.

Police say a Lincoln man suffered several injuries after he fell out of his vehicle and it ran over him.
The 85-year-old man was backing his Ford Expedition out of a parking spot Monday night. He left his driver's side door open to get a better look but his foot slipped off the brake and he hit the gas, causing him to fall out.
The car's front tires ran over the man. Police say he broke his leg and possibly his pelvis.
The sport utility vehicle kept rolling into an arc that came to a stop against a tree in the lot.
Police did not release the man's name.

|Bulls boss unhappy with 'embarrassing' season
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 31 January 2009 10:15
Reinsdorf made his comments Friday on Comcast SportsNet's ``Monsters in the Morning'' show. He absolved general manager John Paxson of blame for the Bulls' dismal 20-27 record, but didn't defend coach Vinny Del Negro.
``All I know is what we have right now is not good and we have to get better,'' Reinsdorf said. ``They are playing hard in the last half-dozen or so games. We had some games where they were mailing it in and I felt like standing up and booing with everybody else. They're not mailing it in anymore.''
Asked to rate the season, Reinsdorf said, ``You want the grade up till today? What's the lowest grade you can give? This has been a disaster. It's embarrassing. But it will get better.''
Whether Reinsdorf was pointing a finger at Vinny Del Negro was unclear, but he said it wasn't Paxson's fault.
``If there's one person that is not responsible for what's going on right now, it's John Paxson,'' Reinsdorf said. ``I have tremendous confidence in John Paxson.''
Del Negro responded by saying Reinsdorf was probably trying to motivate the team with his comment.
``He lets you go do your job. We'll talk once in a while. We'll text once in a while. Frustration builds for him just like everybody else,'' Del Negro said. ``So I focus on what I can control and that's making this team better. And I feel we are.''

I'm on deferred disposition for one citation that will end on 11/11/2012. A month after I was placed on deferred disposition in Plano, TX, I received another citation in Richardson, TX. I retained a lawyer to get that ticket off my record, I clearly stated that I am currently on the deferred disposition for a previous citation but it was in a different city. Today, I received a letter from my lawyer that says I was placed on another deferred disposition in Richardson, but I need to sign an application to swear everything is true to court, one of the statements says "I have not been on deferred disposition for dismissal of an offense within the one year period to the offense date in this matter." I assumed my lawyer should've been aware of that, but I'm still wondering if this is okay?
Whatever you do, do not lie. My colleague gave a great answer already but most important, do not lie.
It is not okay to file a false affidavit with the court. It is okay to be on deferred for more than one citation in more than one city within in the same year. However, the conditions of that deferred disposition are up to the judge. And it sounds like Judge Noah in RIchardson does not grant a deferred disposition if you are currently on or have recently been on another deferred. It is possible that your attorney can get Judge Noah to waive that condition. This would require both you and the attorney to return to court. You need to call your attorney immediately to clear this up.

in LGBT
World AIDS Day, observed on December 1 every year, is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV, and commemorate people who have died. If you understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and the reality of living wih HIV today, you can use this knowledg to take care of your health and the health of others. You will also help ensure that everyone living with HIV is treated fairly, and with respect and understanding.
November's show will feature the book, One Family's AIDS, by host, J'son M. Lee. One Family's AIDS is the story of Gene Alexander McCoy - a young, educated African-American man who finds himself in a race for time to make peace with his family and God upon being diagnosed with HIV. The story, told from four different perspectives, chronicles Gene's life as he confronts such issues as HIV/AIDS, family, abandonment and homophobia. With the help of his over-bearing mother, a nurturing grandmother, and an uncle who doesn't feel comfortable talking about Gene's sexuality or disease, we learn the complexities of love and relationships, the damaging results of fear and shame, and how the relentless quest for the truth ultimately leads us back to each other.

Isn't it ghoulish to rip a person's chest open and take out a heart? Or a bypass operation? Ether is the same thing. You have ether, been around for centuries, it wasn't used. Not till 1846.
