[0001] This invention relates generally to optical component packages and, more particularly, to optical component packages that are suitable for moist environments.
[0002] Recent trends show a dramatic increase in the applications of optical fiber and optical components. These new applications have placed demands not only on the optical components and their performance, but also on the packaging of these components. Today's optical packages need to be robust and suitable for a wide range of environments. Of particular interest herein are optical packages for use in high-moisture applications such as those found outdoors, in industrial plants and machinery rooms, underground or underwater.
[0003] One approach for packaging an optical component, such as a channel splitter, involves placing the component in a tube and then sealing the tube on each end with an end cap. More specifically, with reference to FIG. 1, this package 10 is assembled by applying adhesive to the perimeter of the end cap 14 (typically while rotating using a hand-operated fixture) and to the orifice in the end cap through which the fiber 15 (or wire) passes. As used herein, the term �adhesive� refers broadly to both adhesives and sealants. Next, the end cap is pushed into the tube 12. Typically, both end caps are pushed into place simultaneously. The adhesive 13 is then cured while the tube is laying on its side.
[0004] This packaging configuration is advantageous in that the end cap 14 is exposed to ambient conditions rather than the adhesive 13. Minimizing the adhesives' exposure to the environment is important since it is typically through the adhesive that moisture enters the housing and damages the optical component.
[0005] Despite the advantageous of this approach, the applicants have identified a number of problems with it. First, as shown in FIG. 1, since the epoxy 13 is typically cured while the tube 12 is on its side, an asymmetric distribution of adhesive results. This is especially problematic since it is difficult to control the application of adhesive around the perimeter of the end cap 14 in the first place, thus, often too much adhesive is applied. If too much adhesive is applied, it may interfere with the delicate internal optical component 11, especially given the asymmetric distribution of adhesive. Furthermore, the volume of adhesive may be so large that it imposes expansion/contraction stresses on the packaging during thermal cycling. The uncontrolled distribution of adhesive also increases the possibility of leaving voids in the seal. Aside from problems controlling the adhesive, the adhesive itself may hold moisture which can escape into the housing after packaging and thereby cause the humidity level inside the housing to rise, perhaps to the detriment of the optical component.
[0006] Given these difficulties, the applicants have developed an approach for controlling the application of adhesive to the optical package 20 by partitioning the tube 22, preferably with a washer 24, to separate the adhesive 23 from the optical component 21 as shown in FIG. 2. In manufacturing an optical package 20 according to this approach, the tube 22 is held vertically and a washer 24 is placed against a ridge 25 on the inside of the tube 22. Next, the adhesive 23 is applied to the partition formed by the washer 24 and tube 22, and cured. The assembly 20 is then flipped so that the other end is up, and the procedure is repeated.
[0007] This approach offers a number of advantages over the prior art approach. First, the sealant partition confines the adhesive and prevents it from flowing into or otherwise interfering with the optical component. Furthermore, since the adhesive is applied to the washer when the tube is vertical and unobstructed with an end cap, it is easy to control the placement and volume of the adhesive. Consequently, the adhesive can be directed precisely to fill around the fiber, minimizing the risk of leaving voids which might transmit moisture. Furthermore, unlike the prior art approach, no skill is required to fill the adhesive into the end cap region and minimal fixturing is required.
[0008] The partition also facilitates �pre-sealing.� In pre-sealing, the gaps around the partition are filled with a quick-cure adhesive which cures before it has a chance to flow into the main compartment housing the optical component and potentially interfere with the optical component. Once the gaps are filled, more liberal quantities of an additional adhesive may be applied to properly seal the housing. The cure time and dispersion of the additional adhesive are not critical since there is no risk of it entering the main compartment and interfering with the optical component. Thus, the additional adhesive may be selected based on more desirable properties such as resistance to water or other ambient conditions.
[0009] Unfortunately, this approach leaves a great deal of adhesive exposed to the environment. Exposing adhesives to a moist environment is generally undesirable because moisture tends to permeate the adhesive over time and eventually enter the main compartment where it can damage the sensitive optical component. Furthermore, it is likely that the adhesive will undergo some degradation due to either ambient moisture or other ambient condition (e.g., ultraviolet radiation, abrasion, caustic substances, etc.).
[0010] In light of this shortcoming, the applicants have developed yet another approach which eliminates the adhesive's exposure to the environment. More specifically, with respect to FIG. 3, rather than just partitioning the adhesive from the optical component, the housing 31 defines a separate sealant compartment 33 which is isolated from both the optical component 31 and the environment. In manufacturing this package, a tube 32 is held vertically and a washer 38 is placed against a ridge 39 on the inside of the tube 32. An ultraviolet (UV)-curing adhesive 34 is used to seal the edge of the washer and around the fiber 36. Next, an additional adhesive 37 is applied on top of the washer and around the end cap 35, and the end cap 35 is put in place and cured. It is expected that adhesive flows out of the end cap around its perimeter and along the fiber. The UV adhesive, however, keeps the adhesive from flowing into the compartment containing the optical component 31. Note that the end cap 35 should have the correct fit around its perimeter and through the fiber hole such that adhesive will flow through. Adhesive in these locations provides a longer path through which moisture must diffuse. Once the adhesive is cured, the device is then flipped so that the other end is presented up, and the procedure is repeated.
[0011] Pre-sealing the washer offers a number of advantages aside from keeping the end cap adhesive from entering the chamber as mentioned above. Specifically, if the washer is not pre-sealed, it is necessary to use an adhesive of a certain viscosity which is thick enough not to flow through the hole in the washer, but which is thin enough to flow around all components that are to be bonded. The choice of adhesive is complicated by the fact that adhesives tend to flow more easily when they are heated which is often required for curing epoxies. Furthermore, when the tube is sealed, air is trapped inside the tube. If the tube is heated or cooled before the end cap adhesive has cured, the pressure inside the tube changes, forcing air out of or into the tube through the uncured adhesive. This can result in a permanent leak path once the end cap adhesive has cured. Pre-sealing avoids these complications. Pre-sealing also protects the internal components from any vapor which might be released during the cure of the end cap adhesive. The features of pre-sealing allow a wider variety of adhesives to be used for the final end cap sealing.
[0012] The advent of the sealant compartment offers a number of significant advantages. In addition to the advantages of the partition approach mentioned above, the sealant compartment approach also minimizes the area of adhesive that is exposed to the environment. As mentioned above this is important since moisture typically passes through adhesives over time and tends to degrade the adhesive.
[0013] Despite these advantages, however, under extreme moisture conditions, the risk remains that the adhesive barrier will be breached and moisture will enter the tube. Therefore, if the optical component contained in the tube is particularly susceptible to moisture and the environment is particularly moist, this approach may be insufficient.
[0014] Therefore, a need remains for a packaging approach that provides a high level of moisture protection for moisture-sensitive optical components, even at extreme conditions. The present invention fulfills this need among others.
[0015] The present invention provides for an optical package which uses a desiccant to absorb or otherwise nullify any moisture that enters the housing of the package. Thus, rather than attempting to design and manufacture a perfectly hermetically-sealed package, which becomes exponentially more difficult to achieve as the tolerance for moisture decreases, the package of the present invention needs to be only reasonably moisture-proof given its relatively high tolerance for moisture. This relaxes the manufacture and design needs of the package of the present invention and facilitates the use of relatively inexpensive materials and conventional manufacturing techniques. Therefore, the present invention exploits the observation that it is far easier to remove any moisture that might pass through the housing of an optical package, than it is to prevent the moisture from entering in the first place.
[0016] One aspect of the invention is an optical package comprising a desiccant. In a preferred embodiment, the package comprises: (a) an optical component; (b) a housing defining at least main compartment containing the optical component; and (c) a desiccant material disposed in the vicinity of the optical component to remove a substantial portion of any moisture entering the housing. Preferably, the housing comprises at least one access route, along which ambient moisture must travel to reach the optical component. In such a configuration, the desiccant is disposed along the access route such that moisture entering the housing contacts the desiccant material before reaching the optical component Another aspect of the invention is a process of manufacturing the optical package by partitioning the desiccant and adhesive. In a preferred embodiment, the process comprises: (a) positioning an optical component in a main compartment of a housing; (b) placing a desiccant in the housing such that ambient moisture that enters the housing contacts the desiccant before reaching the optical component; (c) pre-sealing the housing to establish a partition to prevent an adhesive used for sealing the housing from entering the main compartment; and (d) sealing the housing to prevent substantially moisture from entering the housing.
[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates the applicants' concern with the prior art method of packaging optical components;
[0018]FIG. 2 shows an improved approach for packaging optical components in which the adhesive is partitioned from the optical component;
[0019]FIG. 3 shows another improved packaging approach which utilizes a separate sealant compartment for isolating the adhesive from both the ambient environment and the optical component; and
[0020]FIG. 4 depicts the packaging approach of the present invention in which a desiccant is used.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 4, a preferred embodiment of the packaging system of the present invention is shown. The packaging system 40 is suitable for particularly high humidity or moist conditions. Such conditions can be found in a number of environments such as, for example, outdoors, inside industrial plants and machinery rooms, underground or underwater.
[0022] The optical package 40 comprising an optical component 41, a housing 42 defining at least a main compartment 51 containing the optical component 41 and at least one access route 52 from the environment to the main compartment 51. The optical package also comprises a desiccant material 50 disposed along the access route 52 such that ambient moisture entering the housing must pass by the desiccant material 40 to access the optical component 41. The various components of the optical package are discussed below in greater detail.
[0023] At the heart of the optical package is the optical component 41. As used herein, the term �optical component� is used broadly to cover purely-optical or optoelectric components used in both passive and active devices. The term �passive devices,� as used herein, refers to any optical or optoelectric device that manipulates an optical signal but which does not impart energy into the system. Examples of passive devices include add/drop filters, silica planar waves guides, arrayed wave guide gratings (AWGs), splitters/couplers, and attenuators. As used herein, the term �active device� refers to any optical or optoelectric device that either converts signals between optical and electrical domains or imparts energy into an optical system. Examples of active devices include lasers, photodiodes, and optical amplifiers. The optical component may be part of a larger assembly or it may comprise subcomponents.
[0024] Optical components tend to be susceptible to environmental conditions such as humidity and dust. Those optical components having exposed optical paths are especially sensitive to moisture and dust since moisture droplets and dust can interfere with the optical path. For example, a dust particle is approximately the same size as the core of a single mode fiber and, thus, can totally obscure the fiber and ruin the device's performance. Due to the sensitive nature of optical components, it is important to package them to minimize the external threats such as moisture and dust. To this end, the packaging approach of the present invention employs a housing 42 which contains the optical component 41.
[0025] The housing 42 can be formed of a variety of materials, however, it is generally preferred that these materials be rigid, water resistant, and readily formable. Additionally, it may be preferable, in some circumstances, to employ an energy-absorbing material in the housing to afford a certain measure of shock resistance. Suitable materials include for example, plastics, metal, and rubbers and combinations thereof. Preferably, the housing is made of a metal due to its ready availability and durable nature. Examples of preferred metals include, for example, stainless steel and aluminum.
[0026] The shape and configuration of the housing can vary depending upon the application and the invention is, by no means, restricted to any particular shape. The housing must define a main compartment 51 for containing the optical component and preferably an access route into the main compartment for placing the optical component therein. Although the access route initially provides passage into the main compartment, it should be understood that the access route is eventually sealed from the environment, preferably in a permanent fashion. Therefore, as used herein, the term �access route� refers to the initial state of the housing and that the access route is sealed in the completed package. One should also appreciate that even though the access route is sealed, it nevertheless represents a �weak link� in the housing through which moisture tends to be more likely to enter then through any other point of the housing.
[0027] It is generally preferable to minimize access routes and joints in the housing, thereby minimizing the potential sites through which moisture and/or dust can enter the housing and potentially damage the optical component. Accordingly, shapes such as elongated tubes or cans which are integrally formed (seamless) are preferable. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the housing 42 is an elongated tube having two ends. It should be understood that FIG. 4 only depicts one end and that a similar configuration can be found at the other end of the elongated tube. Although seamless housing structures are preferred, it should be understood that a housing made of various components which are welded or otherwise combined is within the scope of the invention.
[0028] The housing of the present invention is partitioned to define different compartments which serve different purposes. As shown in FIG. 4, the package has a main compartment 51, a desiccant compartment 53 adjacent to the main compartment 51, and a sealant compartment 43 between the desiccant compartment 53 and the environment. Each compartment in this configuration serves a different purpose.
[0029] The sealant compartment 43 contains the adhesive which serves to seal the housing from the environment to substantially prevent the moisture from entering the housing. The term �substantially� as used in this context is intended to convey that most of ambient moisture is prevented from entering the housing but not necessarily all. It is not critical to the present invention that the housing be sealed to prevent a certain amount of moisture from entering the housing. However, since the desiccant tends to be a consumable resource, its life cycle is likely to be shortened as the amount of moisture that is permitted to enter the housing increases.
[0030] The sealant compartment 43 (as described above in the background section) enables one to seal the package without the risk of potentially contaminating or otherwise interfering with the optical component with the adhesive. More specifically, the partition 48, as shown in FIG. 4, may be set in place and then �pre-sealed� with a quick-cure adhesive, such as a UV-curable epoxy. The quick-cure adhesive may be applied to any gaps in the partition such as, for example, the perimeter 44 a of the partition 48 or the hole 44 b through which a fiber 46 (or wire) passes through the partition 48. By precisely applying the adhesive to these areas and quickly curing it, the risk of the adhesive flowing into the main compartment and potentially damaging the optical component is minimized considerably. Additionally, once the quick-cure adhesive is in place, a barrier to the main compartment 51 is established and it is then possible to apply a more liberal quantity of additional adhesive to secure the end cap 45 in place.
[0031] The types of adhesives used can vary and are within the purview of one skilled in the art. For reasons as mentioned above, however, it is generally preferred that, when �pre-sealing� the housing, a quick-cure adhesive be used. Suitable quick-cure adhesives are known in the art and include, for example, UV-activated epoxies, epoxies with fast-acting catalysts, or adhesives which set immediately upon exposure to a certain amount of energy which is readily deliverable in situ. The additional adhesive which is applied to secure the end cap 45 or similar device in place need not be selected based on its cure-rate characteristics since it may be allowed to flow during curing. Rather, the additional adhesive should be selected based on properties more germane to its purpose-namely, to seal the housing and resist the penetration of dust and moisture. To this end, an adhesive is preferred which has strong adhesive properties to hold the end cap or similar structure and which is resistant to water penetration and degradation. Again, such adhesives are known in the art, although epoxies, polyurethanes, and acrylates are preferred, and epoxies are more preferred. Due to pre-sealing, the rate at which the additional adhesive cures is not critical, although for commercial purposes it is preferable that its cure rate be quick enough to achieve reasonable manufacturing throughput.
[0032] Referring now the desiccant compartment 53, its function is to hold the desiccant 50 along the access route 52 such that ambient moisture must pass the desiccant to reach the optical component. Additionally, the desiccant compartment also serves to contain the desiccant and separate it from the optical component. This later feature may be critical if the desiccant is particularly dusty (as desiccates tend to be) and if the optical component is particularly susceptible to dust. As mentioned above, optical components which tend to be susceptible to dust are those which have an exposed optical path. It should be understood, however, that if the desiccant used is not particularly dusty or if the optical component is not susceptible to dust, then there need not be a sealed partition between the desiccant and the main compartment. In other words, the desiccant could be situated in the main compartment so as to remove substantially any moisture that enters the housing. Regardless of whether the desiccant is in its own compartment, it is preferable to position the desiccant such that any ambient moisture entering the housing contacts the desiccant before reaching the optical component.
[0033] The partitions used to define the sealant, desiccant and main compartments may assume a variety of forms. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition 48 that separates the sealant compartment from the desiccant compartment is a circular washer that seats on a ledge 49 formed by the desiccant 53. The partition 55 that separates the sealant compartment 43 from the main compartment 51 is also a washer that seats on a ridge 54 which is machined or otherwise formed in the interior surface of the elongated tube 42. Each washer has an aperture (not shown) approximately in its middle to allow passage of the fiber 46. As mentioned above, it is generally preferred that the perimeter around the washers and the aperture be sealed with an adhesive. Although this approach for partitioning is preferred from the standpoint of simplicity, availability of components, and ease of manufacture, other approaches are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the partitions may be tack welded in place or the partitions may actually define separate compartments of the housing which are joined (e.g., welded) together to form the completed housing.
[0034] To seal the housing closed, an end cap 52 is preferred. As mentioned above, an end cap is preferred since it leaves very little of the adhesive exposed to the environment. It should be understood, however, that other mechanisms may be used to seal the housing such as, for example, a screw top, a lid which is welded or otherwise fastened in place, or a stopper which perhaps is elastically deformable to present an urging force against the housing when in place to effect a friction fit with the housing.
[0035] The desiccant used may be any drying agent, including either a chemical desiccant which acts by absorption, for example, by reacting with water (e.g., phosphorous pentoxide) or a physical desiccant which acts by adsorption (e.g., a silica gel). Suitable desiccants include for example, P2O5, Mg(ClO4)2, KOH, H2SO4, NaOH, CaO, CaCl2, ZnCl2, CuSO4, and zeolites, such as Na2O. 2Al2O3.5SiO2 and CaO.2Al2O3.5SiO2. Preferably, the desiccant is a zeolite. Many desiccants tend to be somewhat brittle and produce dust if subject to shock or vibration. As mentioned above, dust is not tolerable for certain optical components. To avoid the release of dust and thus the need for a separate desiccant compartment, it may be preferred to embed/disperse/suspended the desiccant in a plastic or gel or otherwise covered it in plastic. These desiccant forms tend to be more resilient to the formation of dust and, as mentioned above, the housing may be simplified if such desiccants are used-specifically, the partition separating the desiccant from the optical component may be eliminated.
[0036] The shape of the desiccant material may vary within the scope of the invention, although consideration should be given to its exposed surface area since the absorption/adsorption process tends to occur only on the surface. Examples of suitable forms of desiccant include, for example, a packed bed of pellets (or other particularized form of desiccant) or an aggregate of desiccant such as a solid disk. Preferably, the configuration of the desiccant allows for its placement in the housing without the need to thread the desiccant down the length of a fiber or wire. For example, in the case of a packed bed, the pellets may simply be poured around the fiber or wire. In the case of a desiccant aggregate, slotted disks or discrete disk segments may be placed around the fiber or wire. In a preferred embodiment, the desiccant is a C-shaped slotted disk.
[0037] The optical package of the present invention as described above lends itself to a readily-commercializable manufacturing process. In the preferred embodiment, the process comprises holding the elongated tube vertically and placing the partition 55, which is preferably a washer, against a ridge 54 on the inside surface of the tube. Next, a UV-curing adhesive is used to provide a seal 56 around the perimeter of the partition 55 and a seal (not shown) around the fiber 46. This partition defines one end of the desiccant compartment 53. Next, the desiccant 50 is placed upon the partition 55 and a second partition 48, which is also preferably a washer, is put in place against a support, which in this embodiment is part of the desiccant structure. Again, a UV-curing adhesive is used to provide a seal 44 a around the perimeter of the second partition 48 and a seal 44 b around the fiber 46. This second partition serves to further define the desiccant compartment 53 as well as to establish one side of the sealant compartment 43. At this point, adhesive is applied liberally to the top of the second partition 48 and around the end cap 45. The end cap 45 is put in place while allowing the adhesive to flow out of the end cap's perimeter and its fiber hole. As mentioned above, the UV-curable adhesive prevents adhesives from flowing past the partition 48 and into either the main compartment or the desiccant compartment. At this point, the adhesive is cured and the device is flipped so the procedure may be repeated to the other end.
[0038] The compartmentalized configuration of the optical package of the present invention lends itself to a high degree of reliability in manufacturing and uses assembly techniques which are readily commercializable in that they can be scaled up and automated. Basically, the packaging begins with the optical component and works its way out one compartment at a time, one end at a time. The use of pre-sealing as mentioned above controls the flow of adhesive and minimizes risk of contaminating the optical component. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the optical package of the present invention relies on the desiccant interacting with any moisture that may penetrate the housing, the package need not be over engineered to prevent moisture from entering. In other words, rather than designing and constructing a perfectly hermetically sealed package, which becomes exponentially more difficult as the tolerance for moisture decreases, the packaging of the present invention uses relatively simple and known construction techniques with relatively simple and known components to manufacture a reasonably water-tight package and relies on the desiccant to nullify any moisture that may penetrate the housing.

[Poll] Please Revert Morgana Black Shield Ninja Nerf
Some of you may not be aware that Morgana's Black Shield took a significant nerf to it's effectiveness and usefulness in the May 11th patch. It still prevents CC effects and shields the target from Magic damage, but it no longer prevents the application of debuffs (such as Teemo's Shrooms, Zilean's Bombs, and Ignite). These debuffs will now begin eroding the shield, rather than being prevented like they previously were. This change impacts Morgana very hard, after the already impairing nerf to Soul Shackles AP ratio distribution.
This is not the first time Morgana has been unnecessarily nerfed. Several months ago, the slow debuff for many spells was split from the damage debuff of many spells, like Teemo's Shrooms, to prevent Highlander and Merc Treads from reducing/negating their damage when they were not intended to. Meanwhile, Morgana's Dark Binding was not changed to match. This cut her already circumstantial damage potential by a large margin. Dark Binding itself was dealing 40% less damage from just the snare-reducing Merc Treads passive, not even counting the MR. Because of the reduced duration, Tormented Soil also becomes partially negated, because the unit Bound to it will just walk away, receiving only 1 or 2 ticks of damage after Dark Binding wears off.
For a long time, Morgana has been disproportionately affected by changes made to her. The Black Shield changes are no different. The one thing keeping truly Morgana useful has been taken away. Now she has fallen to a very low tier of usefulness.
Please, for the sake of fallen angels everywhere, revert this unjust change.
No idea what Riot was thinking. Let's nerf the underpowered and keep the OP ones like they are so they'll attract more people? Maybe that's their business strategy.
I miss the Tankganas :/
There is not an option to just vote no o.o
I'm cool with the ability to apply debuffs, its a damage shield, not an everything shield and you're greedy to ask for that. it was a bit of a ***** to play as morde and toss my ult on her right whens he shield so its a solid waste
You totally forgot to mention how ****ing ******ed it is to play against a morde running merc treads and cleanse. How do I feel when I throw up my ult and you just cleanse and lol?
Think outside of yourself for once.
Im not talking about morgana as a character, im talking specifically about her shield. even with a ton of ap shes more of a support caster than a dps anyway. you shouldnt be trying to solo a tank. i've played moragana enough and talked to other morganas. yea she can do good damage with all 3 skills, but its hardly a nuke. she's good at harassing with skill shots and her ult stun in big fights, beyond that i dont care how you build her. you probably shouldnt be trying to solo most people in a fair fight.

I was considering writing a review of the P.O.S./Mac Lethal show last night at the Record Bar, but two things stood in my way: (1) I missed Mac Lethal because I forgot about the damn thing and didn't get there until midnight, and (2) I just found a very good review of the engagement at What the F#@% is This?, a brand-new blog and print 'zine launched anonymously that covers all things pertaining to local hip-hop. Some really great turns of phrase in that review. Damn. I may be out of a job soon. The writer's take on Mac was affectionate and almost poignant — it was good to see that piece come out at a time when Mac could either become taken for granted or baselessly resented by locals for starting to become successful. That said, I wish Rhymesayers would fucking hurry up and release his album. That guy's working his ass off on tour, has worked his ass off on the album, and deserves to start getting real paid.
So, because the review side's covered, I can focus on another matter that many of you may be aware of but some may not. KRBZ 96.5 the Buzz has a fairly new Sunday night hip-hop show called the Jump-Off, hosted by Mac himself and Slimfast, who is best known as the victim of his boss Lazlo's caprices during the very popular and very commercials-and-bad-music-choked "Church of Lazlo" afternoon show. I ran into Slimfast at the RB last night, and he said he had beef with me for not mentioning the Jump-Off in a recent story I did in which I talked about how the commercial hip-hop stations (Power 103 and 95.7 the Vibe) don't play local artists. Well, the Jump-Off does, according to Slimfast, but it seems to me like their focus is mostly on introducing locals to national, non-mainstream rap, such as that produced by Rhymesayers artists, and also a lot of East and West Coast conscious rap. As one writer of mine, Andy Vihstadt, would say, they deliver the angsta, not the gangsta. They don't, however, deliver shovelfuls of spins of local records, or they would have had a few local shows on that 3/12 playlist, don'tcha think? However, until I'm sure they don't do all-local shows once a month or so, I will refrain from reaming Mac and Slimfast (actually, it would be boss Lazlo's decision -- according to Slimfast he's been a hard sell on hip-hop, period).
There is a show that does quite a bit of local spins, and that's the "Show-Me Mix" on KKFI 90.1 on Saturday nights hosted by DeShai "Mz. Shai" Hampton. Go to www.myspace.com/urbanmotion for info and to listen to her own specially recorded theme song. Though I haven't listened to it once yet, the Show-Me show, however unhiply named, seems a lot more street and definitely a lot more locally focused than its Buzz counterpart.
One thing that drives me nuts already about Mz. Shai, however, is her overuse of exclamation points and capital letters in emails. Local rapper Reach does it, too. I'll get an email with a subject line like "THIS FRIDAY AT THE JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!" and the message, too, will contain similarly grating visual noise. WANT TO GET YOUR MUSIC HEARD??? COMPETE ON THE AIR ON THE SHOW-ME MIX SHOW!!! Shit like that. To someone who spends pretty much his entire waking life dealing with written words, caps lock and exclamation point abuse is like SCREAMING!!!
Think about it, and calm the fuck down. Let the music do the screaming.

Waitrose to stream live cooking show online
Waitrose is launching its first live cooking show today, which will be streamed via its website and presented by Lisa Faulkner, the 'Celebrity Masterchef' winner.
Lisa Faulkner: hosts Waitrose TV
The show will also be available via Facebook. Faulkner will be joined by chefs from the Waitrose Cookery School, The Fabulous Baker Brothers, Dhruv Baker and Jose Pizarro.
Waitrose will air the show between 7pm-8pm tonight and will feature recipes for party food, tips for Christmas dinner and live questions from the viewers.
The supermarket has previously run "how-to" videos starring brand ambassadors including Delia Smith on Facebook, but these were not broadcast live.
Waitrose will offer the chance to win over £1,000 of prizes while watching the supermarket's first "live cookery show".
Earlier in the month Waitrose had an online Q&A hijacked by Greenpeace over protests about the supermarket's tie up with oil giant Shell.
The campaign led Greenpeace to claim that Waitrose had stalled plans to roll out its partnership with Shell.
Trading is picking up at Waitrose as shoppers rush to stock up ahead of Christmas with week-on-week sales up by 6.7% for the week ending Saturday 15 December.Follow @mattchapmanuk

Featured at two star-studded award ceremonies in 2011, Balensi's Institute Skin Care & Spa makes everyday clients feel like VIPs with luxurious spa services. Guest pass by a water fountain and tropical plants as they enter a cozy, renovated bungalow that dates back to 1910, the same year that the Great Sphinx had her first microdermabrasion. Medical aesthetician Lorena Balensi performs most treatments?from facials to enzyme peels?with pharmaceutical-grade products. For more than 10 years, certified medical assistant Jean-Michel Balensi has applied principles of color theory, facial geometry, design/application, skin health and wound healing, anatomy and physiology to all aspects of his craft, servicing more than 3,000 clients. Applied one by one, his ocular artistry of eyelash extensions give eyelids the volume and length to attract compliments or entire butterfly colonies. Massage therapies include relaxing and healing modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, stone, pre-natel, and sports massage. Garden fountains perform a liquid symphony for patrons who relax at a shaded outdoor patio.
The staff at The New Look Salon & Day Spa administers a bevy of spa services that use high-end G.M. Collin products, propagating the belief that everyone should set aside time for pampering. To that end, the staff offers Swedish massages, body wraps, [haircuts] http://gr.pn/IKK5uJ), and chemical peels, among other services. Customers looking to feel their best can opt for a nutrition and weight-management program that encourages making healthful choices and discourages eating deep-fried watermelons. The spa also sustains a high level of relaxation with a neutral-toned decor that soothes the eyes and spirit.
Connie Campbell is always on the hunt to find the latest treatments and products that will keep her clients looking young and feeling younger. During an appointment, she might ask clients to rest atop infrared warming pads as she applies Glo Therapeutic skincare products and performs DiamondSkin microdermabrasion. She might also use a formaldehyde-free glue to individually attach faux mink eyelash extensions to lash lines, creating lashes so thick they make it almost impossible to look through a keyhole to see how keys work.
Connie has spent years learning massage techniques, including a period spent studying the Mueller method under the late Bill Mueller himself. As a breast cancer survivor, Connie understands the effects trauma and pain can have on the body, which is why she customizes each massage using four modalities including reflexology.
The mission- and volunteer-driven clinic provides alternative, holistic health care to low-income and underserved communities at a complimentary or low rate. Its team dispenses naturopathic and chiropractic medicine from its office and at an array of outside events. For almost a decade, it's been the driving force behind the San Diego Healing Arts Festival, which in recent years has been visited by 30,000 guests. During Alternative Happy Hour events, healthy snacks fuel attendees who pay $10 to experience acupuncture, chiropractic treatments, massage, and energy healing, along with courses in yoga, drumming, and mild or spicy salsa dance. The clinic also donates services to organizations such as the YWCA women's shelter and the Wounded Warrior Project, which benefits veterans affected by injuries and psychological issues.
Like a restaurant uniting different cuisines to find the best blends of flavor, Renew Integrative Health Center combines Western and alternative medicines to develop treatment plans for each patient that can meet all of their needs. Patients can choose the type of doctor that most closely reflects their own thoughts about health, and that doctor then collaborates with the rest of the Renew team. Together, they aim to help patients achieve and sustain optimal health, applying the diverse skill set they collectively possess: naturopathy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, counseling, massage, and more. Lifestyle change receives particular emphasis, taking the form of weight loss, anti-aging treatments, or getting patients to stop eating their stress balls.
San Diego's The Sporting Club and its sister facility La Jolla Sports Club strike the perfect balance of form and function. They also help clients do the same. With classes that range from yoga and Pilates to spinning and strength training, the Sporting Club addresses all aspects of fitness. And La Jolla Sports Club's lineup of martial arts, team sports, and group barre classes encourages both teamwork and wellness. After class, drop by the cafe for a healthy snack, a smoothie, or just a straw to practice meditative breathing techniques.

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Broncos OC McCoy to become Chargers head coach
Reports on Monday indicated that the Arizona Cardinals wanted to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for a second time.
Not so fast.
It appears the Cardinals will not get a second chance to talk with McCoy.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Tuesday the San Diego Chargers, who spoke with McCoy for the first time the previous day, are about to finalize a deal with the coach.
Chargers are nearing a deal to make Mike McCoy their head coach. Looks like it will be finalized today. More ahead @cbssports— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 15, 2013
McCoy was the only known interview for the Cardinals this week.
As the Cardinals' coaching search enters week three, the team has talked with McCoy, defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and unofficially, Todd Haley, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers said the Cardinals were interviewing.
Gruden, Haley and Horton are all still on the market for a head coaching job.

Historic Scotland lists three Womersley buildings
Three buildings by Scottish Modernist architect Peter Womersley have been listed by Historic Scotland.High Sunderland (pictured), the Rig, and the Garlton unit at Hermanflat Hospital have all been listed said Historic Scotland, 'in recognition of their regional and national importance'.High Sunderland - in Womersley's hometown of Galashiels on the Scottish Borders - was listed at category A. The Rigg in Melrose and Garlton Unit of Hermanflat Hospital in Haddington were both listed at category B.Historic Scotland's head of listing, Deborah Mays, said each of the buildings was 'visually striking and immediately recognisable as the work of Womersley.''Scotland, and Galashiels in particular, should be immensely proud of Womersley. People often assume that listed buildings should be made of stone and be very traditional, but it is vital that Modern architecture is protected too.'It demonstrates that Scotland continues to produce exceptional designers, builders and engineers who move beyond accepted ideas and challenge what we expect from our homes, offices and public buildings,' added Mays.The hat-trick of listings follows Historic Scotland's decision last year ( Concrete Scottish football stadium listed ) to list Galashiels' Womersley-designed football stadium.by Max Thompson

Epona (The Legend of Zelda)
|The Legend of Zelda character
Epona being ridden by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
|First game
|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
|Created by
|Shigeru Miyamoto
Epona (エポナ?) is a fictional horse in The Legend of Zelda series of video games. She originally appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She usually acts as a mode of transportation for Link, the series protagonist, and is often found in the company of the ranch hand character, Malon. Her name is derived from the Celtic goddess of horses of the same name.
Concept and creation[edit]
Epona was created by Yoshiaki Koizumi for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.[1] Epona shares the same name with the Celtic goddess of horses. Epona was planned to be nameable by players in Ocarina of Time, but the feature was removed before its release.[2] The feature was later added to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. During the development of Twilight Princess, Eiji Aonuma, the game's director, would not confirm whether or not the horse was indeed Epona.[3]
Epona is Link's horse, and is mainly used as a means for transportation. She first appears in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a filly at the Lon Lon Ranch, personally handled by a young girl named Malon. She teaches Link a song that attracts Epona and serves as a device for summoning, called "Epona's Song". Malon explains to Link that Epona is shy towards most, but has taken a liking to Link after he learns the song. When Link is transported seven years into the future, Epona is a full grown mare and can be ridden, but will only come to the player of her song.
Epona appears again in her young form in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, as she goes along with Link on his journey, only to be kidnapped by a creature called Skull Kid. She is later recovered by Link at Romani Ranch. Link appears riding an unnamed horse, bearing resemblance to Epona, in the introductions for both The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.[4] She again appears in a minor role as a non-playable character in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap along with her owner Malon. Most recently, she appears in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and is owned by Link in the outset, unlike previous titles in the series. In both The Minish Cap and Twilight Princess Epona is able to communicate with Link under certain circumstances. In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask Link has the ability to shoot his bow while riding horseback, Twilight Princess has an expanded weapon use, a pivotal device in the final battle. In Hyrule Warriors, Epona appears as a selectable weapon for Link via downloadable content, allowing him to battle enemies on horseback.
Epona's song appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a part of the "Ocarina of Time Medley". She also appears in Brawl as a sticker, along with Link. Since her inception, Epona has been a part of multiple merchandise promotions, such as commercials and figurines, usually accompanied by Link.
Epona has received a mostly positive reception since her introduction in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Honest Gamers commented that the world of Ocarina of Time seemed to be designed for Epona, rather than the other way around.[5] GameDaily listed Epona as one of their top 25 of Nintendo's gimmicks, stating that through Epona, Nintendo had provided gamers a means of enacting the childhood dream of riding a horse. They also mention that seeing Epona in Twilight Princess made them "squeal like fan boys".[6] In fact, according to GameDaily the sight of Epona being revealed in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was enough to make some people cry.[6] Indeed, due to the large number of fan requests for a young Link to be able to ride a young Epona, this feature was included in Majora's Mask.[7] There was some question if the boat used for transportation in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The King of the Red Lions, was intended to be a replacement for Epona.[8]
IGN compared the smooth run of the horses in Gallop Racer 3D to that of Epona in Ocarina of Time, saying that this smoothness in riding helped her win over the hearts of millions.[9] Gaming Age gave similar praise to Epona, commenting that it was obvious the developers had spent a great deal of effort on her. He praised the improvements on her design since Ocarina of Time, as well as her animation.[10] Before the release of Twilight Princess, IGN's Matt Casamassina expressed hopes of an expansion of horseback combat abilities available in Ocarina of Time.[11] Gamasutra compared the relationship between Link and Epona to that of Wander and Agro from Shadow of the Colossus. Though he adds that while the cutscenes in The Legend of Zelda enforced the relationship between Link and Epona, the gameplay does not. He believes Epona is used more as a sidekick and game element than an ally, and that controlling Epona is merely an extension of controlling Link.[12] Gamasutra also cited the reunion of Link and Epona in the future of Ocarina of Time as an example of a story-telling game mechanic, stating that after Link goes into the future and finds Epona, she does not initially trust him, but she remembers him once "Epona's Song" is played. He adds that this teaches players that even in a game with time travel, music is a constant.[13] UGO listed Epona 15th on their list of "NPC Characters We Love Having By Our Side".[14]
In an MTV vote for the best video game horse, Epona was named the victor based on the four judges including Ken Levine, Mike Krahulik, and Leigh Alexander, and took second place in the readers' choice award. Listing Epona as her favorite, Leigh described her as a "legendary horse", and Tofuburger called her a "rockstar" and "full of awesome and win".[15]

KevinMD.com shares the stories and insight of the many who intersect with our health care system, but are rarely heard from.
Over 1,000 authors contribute to KevinMD.com: front-line primary care doctors, surgeons, specialist physicians, nurses, medical students, policy experts. And, of course, patients, who need the medical profession to hear their voices.
Founded in 2004 by Kevin Pho, MD, KevinMD.com is a prominent social media platform with over 2 million monthly pageviews and is regularly cited by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, and CNN. Over 100,000 subscribe on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and RSS.
Klout named KevinMD.com the web's top social media influencer in health care and medicine.
Forbes hailed KevinMD.com as a "must-read blog," and CNN named @KevinMD as one of its five recommended health care Twitter feeds.
The Wall Street Journal called KevinMD.com a "punchy, prolific blog that chronicles America's often dysfunctional health care system through the prism of a primary care provider," while others have noted that "a lively comment stream on one of Kevin's posts provides more insight on the day-to-day realities of health care than any piece of journalism can ever hope to impart."
Thank you for visiting KevinMD.com, social media's leading physician voice.
About Kevin Pho, MD, founder and editor
Kevin is a practicing, board-certified internal medicine physician, a national media commentator, co-author of the book, Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices, and an acclaimed keynote speaker.
He is the founder and editor of KevinMD.com, where he also conceives and executes digital strategy, and directs technology infrastructure.
Transforming his social media presence into a mainstream media voice, he has been interviewed on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric:
His commentary regularly appears in USA Today, where he is a member of its editorial Board of Contributors, as well as CNN and the New York Times. His opinion pieces highlight the challenges everyday doctors face, ranging from the primary care shortage to the epidemic of physician burnout.
His dual perspectives as a practicing physician and a health care social media leader highlight his unique social media journey. He shares his story with audiences nationwide as a social media physician speaker, with keynotes at CHEST 2014, PAINWeek, the Healthcare Internet Conference, and annual meetings of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, Tennessee Medical Association and Texas Medical Association; lectures at Duke Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary; and panel discussions at the National Press Club and BlogWorld & New Media Expo.
Kevin received his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine and practices primary care in Nashua, NH. He is a member of the 2010 class of New Hampshire's 40 Under Forty, and a 2013 inductee to the Healthcare Internet Hall of Fame.

There is an appealing, almost haunting spareness to the Taize Picture Bible (1968) in both word and image. Published in the USA by Fortress Press (mine is a fourth edition, 1978), the "note to readers" says "The guiding editorial policy in this adaptation has been to facilitate understanding by readers of many age levels while remaining faithful to the words and meaning of the Biblical text." There is nothing prettified or cutesy about the images or the storytelling in this book. In fact there' … [Read more...]
The Most Stunning Children's Bible — That's No Longer in Print (But Should Be)
The Things We Can't — and Shouldn't — Make Our Children Do
When I was pregnant with our first child there were so many things I wondered and hoped. I hoped that we would like each other. That he would be interested in the world and that we would have at least some things in common. And I hoped he would like books. Like me."Don't worry," my husband said. "He will like what he likes."There was just so much uncertainty and so little control. I kind of hated that.We do indeed parent in the "age of anxiety." We worry … [Read more...]
A Veteran's Plea: Patriotism is Not a Tea Party. Neither is a Funeral.
A powerful guest post by my dad.Some time back, I joined a nonprofit organization that aims to ensure dignity and respect at memorial services for veterans. Among other things, they organize human shields against the Westboro loonies. Those Westboro folks have never been a problem where I live (I like to think they don't have the guts to come to my state!), but the nonprofit does other things to support veterans and their families, and that appeals to me very much.I'm not really much of … [Read more...]
8 good things about my dad
Like any daughter, I've had my share of conflicts with my dad. Many of those ended when I was a teenager, but live on in our differing memories about that time. He says I was grumpy. I say he was grumpy. Probably, we're both right.In any case, it's my dad's birthday today. His GOLDEN birthday, as it happens, since he is turning, not eight, of course, but the double-digit number of the second half of the year that he was born (19?!). And so here are eight good things about my dad. Dad's of … [Read more...]
3 things that'll help you understand the Ebola crisis
While I was waiting for a flight last week, all airport televisions were blaring ongoing 'coverage' of the man with Ebola in Dallas, and the people he may or may not have come into contact with, and who would or would not be responsible for disinfecting the apartment he'd been staying in. It was banal television scare-mongering at its worst, and I endured only a few minutes of it before inserting my noise-reduction headphones and blasting a compline service.It's been a mere six months since … [Read more...]
6 Simple Ways to Annoy Non-Christians
Sometimes we Christians get a little confused on best practices for alienating those who don't agree with us. The Bible is clear: sometimes it is just our faith itself that's the offensive bit. But we don't need to leave it at that. Here are six simple moves that help ensure that the non-Christian people around you find your Christianity thoroughly annoying.1. The bait-and-switchIn this move, you invite unsuspecting non-Christians to an event that is actually some kind of church service … [Read more...]
The terrifying possibility of being raptured before our wedding nights
Like other children raised in dispensationalist circles, if I couldn't locate my parents — our parsonage home was large and sprawling — my paranoid ideation included the possibility that not only had God cosmically arranged for my orphanhood but had also simultaneously damned me to suffer seven years, or possibly an eternity, of torment.Consequently, I prayed the "sinner's prayer" many, many times over just to make sure I was really and truly "saved."As scary as the doctrine of the raptur … [Read more...]
The beauty of the ordinary and what makes an artist: Spark + Tumble Photography
The connections we make in this life, across continents and across oceans, are nothing less than astounding, I think.A year ago I read a book review by the incomparable Lisa Ann Cockrel; a review that closes by noting that the book in question left Cockrel "craving latkes with spiced applesauce." As I was in Malawi at the time, and craving ALL the things I couldn't get there, especially food things, I found myself craving the very same thing. So I wrote to Lisa -- whom I'd written to before … [Read more...]

How I learned to stop worrying and just eat the darn cupcake
Food wasn't a good gift from God to be received and eaten with pleasure and gratitude. It was something to fear, and fear it I did. The original sin, I believed, was a kind of gluttony: a deadly sin. It was better, according to Proverbs, to put a knife to my throat than to indulge in that sin. And in a distorted attempt to please God, I came to regard almost every meal as potentially gluttonous. One day when I was 16, my mother came home from work to find me sobbing on the front stoop, unable to … [Read more...]

Now that the week is over, the organizers have decided to keep the site live in some fashion, but there will be no lasting coalition. "We wanted the JWW to keep with the way the Net developed--grassroots, with no monolithic organization, and we aren't setting out to create one either," says the event's codirector, Martin Kaminer.
Bubbe.com will continue to grow, however, and Don already has a backlog of almost 100 stories to post. Her biggest obstacle is the fact that she's doing it all by hand. When asked about how she'll manage, she invokes her grandmother again: "How we survived was miracles."
Signal and NoiseNameSakes: Microsoft announced it is scratching content offerings on MSN and, as usual, dumping its staffers. With names like "@Watercooler," "Mauny's Kitchen," and "Forever Cool," the titles were tombstones to begin with... Everything and the Sink: March at performance space The Kitchen is packed with interactive music and dance for "Techno Passion Month." Thursday, dancers from Troika Ranch take the stage, covered with sensors that modify the music and video images... I'll Take the Time Phone Over the Slate Umbrella Any Day: Online mag Slate (slate.com) starts charging March 9 (Monday). Deathwatch begins March 10. Paradigm shift begins March 11... CopySource: E-mail operates on a principle of well-intentioned theft: the copy/paste instant distribution of press releases, news updates, and panty-share pyramid schemes are how most of us stay informed (and distracted). But once stripped of its authors' names, the traffic is nothing short of counterfeiting. Last week's "Tao of MSFT" haikus that appeared in this space were actually the product of a contest by Salon magazine, though I had received the stanzas without attribution, through e-mail. Salon editor Scott Rosenberg's thoughtful consideration on the banditing of the magazine's source material (salonmag.com/21st/ rose/1998/02/ 24straight.html) is well worth a read--as are the hilarious original versions, written by Salon's readers (who were credited).

Thanks , got this one…
I recommend using the GLAM777, but you have to sign up through nodepositforum.com
It has max cashout of $500, unlike the rest.
You can play table games on the bonus too with reduced wagering contribution.
Only drawback to this casino is that they are new and only offer bankwire withdrawals for usa, but for non-usa I think they have skrill.
Good Luck All!!!!!
Peas out!!!!!

A really nice book

Posted by Reviewer2538485 on Jul 20, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
This book is easy to read, a great home reference book and has really pretty photos of the flowers and plants used in the making of the essential oils. I think every home should have this along with a selection of essential oils. Would make a nice gift too with an oil or two for someone interested in Aromatherapy.
I love this little book

Handy for a newcomer to essential oils. Will be a much used reference as I learn to make soaps, lotions and toothpaste. Not complicated. Nice photos.
