United States Patent O 3,307,443 APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYIN G COLORED LIGHT Orvil F. Shallenberger, 2512 Cle Elum Drive, Fort Wayne, Ind. 46809 Filed Dec. 3, 1964, Ser. N0. 415,636 7 Claims. (Cl. 84-464) This application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 107,082, filed May 2, 1961, now U.S. Patent No. 3,164,053.
The present invention relates to apparatus for displayingr colored light and more particularly to such apparat-us which is uniquely compact but yet displays a variety of colored lights in an interesting and dynamic display.
Colored light displays have been provided in the past wherein electronic apparatus controlled the energization of electric lamps in accordance with the generation of particular audio frequencies. In such arrangements, a plurality of different colored light sources have been coupled to an electronic frequency discriminator or filter which, in turn, was fed by amplified audio signals which emanated from a signal generator. Such a generator may be an ordinary electric phonograph or the like.
In this invention, electric signals corresponding t-o the audio frequencies of music are fed from a phonograph to an amplifier and then to an electric filter which functions to divide the total audio frequency spectrum into three or more different frequency channels which in turn are coupled to Various colored light sources. If the light sources are considered to be green, red and blue, respectively, and the three output channels of the electric lter to be respectively connected thereto, then a band of frequencies passed by one of the channels will serve If a variety of frequencies are fed into the lter, and these frequencies vary among the three different selected bands, the light sources may be flashed on and off in accordance with the frequencies originally generated. Thus, the total apparatus may be considered to be a transducer whereby audio `frequencies are converted into corresponding, different colored lights.
lIt is an object ofy this present invention to provide a compact apparatus capable of producing a-colored light pattern on a display screen.
.It is another object of this invention to provide an apparatus for projecting a variety of colored light onto a display screen at a low incident angle for producing a unique and interesting pattern of colors.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide an vapparatus for projecting a colored light pattern onto a display screen, colored light being directed onto the screen at a low incident angle in such a manner as to permit making the apparatus the ultimate in compactness.
It is a further object of this invention to provide aV colored light display apparatus which is capable of being combined with a portable phonograph or the like in such a manner as to require only negligible space over that normally occupied by the phonograph itself.
It is still further an object of this invention to provide an apparatus for projecting a colored light pattern onto a display screen, colored light being directed onto the screen at a low incident angle in such a manneras to permit the colored light to be masked in a unique manner so as to produce a unique and interesting pattern of colors.
Other objects will become more apparent as the description proceeds.

FIG. 16 is a sectional illustration taken along the section line 16-16 of FIG. 14.
Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, the illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a carrying case generally indicated by the reference numeral 20 having a cover 22 which is hingedly mounted thereon. In the base portion 214 of the carrying case is mounted a phonograph 26, an audio amplifier 28, and an a-udio frequency lter 30. These Vcomponents 26, 28 and 30 are conventional and will be explained in somewhat more detail hereinafter.
The cover 22 of the carrying case is conventional, having a back wall 32 (FIG. 2), two side walls 34 and 36, respectively, and top and bottom walls 38 and 40, respectively. In the cover 22 is mounted the light display apparatus which comprises a display screen 42, which preferably is fabricated of a at stiff supporting member having the front surface thereof painted White, or otherwise beaded, so as to display and reflect light which may be projected thereon. This screen 42 may be constructed the same as ordinary motion picture projection screen.
This screen is made of such size as to cover the interior of the back wall 32, the opposite lateral edges 46 of the screen being disposed contiguous with the cover sidewalls 34 and 36, respectively. The top edge 48 of the screen terminates just short of the top wall 32 while the bottom edge 50 of the screen terminates a short distance above the bottom walls 40, as shown more clearly in FIG. 4. The screen 42 is secured to the cover back wall 32 by means of glue, staples or the like.
In the bottom portion of the cover 22 is positioned the light source and masking mechanism which comprises a compartment generally indicated by the reference numeral 52 and a chamber generally indicated by the numeral 54. A partition assembly generally indicated by the numeral 56 extending the full width of the cover 22 separates the compartment 52 from the chamber 54 and is composed of flat strips of sheet stock of plastic, plywood, metal or the like. As shown more clearly in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, this partition assembly 56 comprises a rear strip 58 having a plurality of longitudinallyspaced openings 60 therein and a front strip 62 which is also provided with an equal number of longitudinally spaced openings 64 in registry with the openings 60. These two strips 58 and 62 are held apart by a pair of spacer blocks 66 located at the opposite ends of the assembly. The two strips 58 and 62 and the spacer blocks 66 are secured together in rigid assembly Iby means of two through bolts 68 at the opposite ends thereof which receive over the Shanks thereof a pair of spacer sleeves 70, respectively.
The chamber 54 is defined along the front thereof by a wall 72 which receives the through bolts 68 therethrough. The wall 72 is -abutted on its inner side by the ends of the two spacers 70 and on the outer side by the nuts 74 which are turned down tightly enough to secure rigidly the wall 72 in place as well as to clamp the partition assembly 56 together.
In each of the openings 64 in the partition strip 62 is mounted a tubular member or supporting sleeve 76 which is secured in place by either a friction fit, `glusing or the like. In each of the sleeves 76 is fixedly mounted a bowlshaped light reflector 78, this reflector preferably being of parabolic shape which will provide a divergent beam of light. Inside each reflector 78 is mounted a lamp or bulb 80, the light-emitting portion extending into the reector 78 so as to provide the divergent beam just mentioned.
In registry with the opening pairs 60, 64 and in between the partition strips 58 and 62 are mounted a plurality of colored, glass windows 82, 84 and 86 which are red, blue and green, respectively, in one embodiment of this invention. Note in FIG. 3 that there are two sets of such windows extending across the entire Width of the cover 22. These glass windows 82, 84, 86 in combination with the respective bulbs 80 are referred to in certain of the claims hereafter as colored light sources. It will appear obvious to persons skilled in the art that other structures capable of emitting colored light may be used without departing from this invention, and it is intended that the term colored light sources include these equivalent alternative structures.
The top portion of the compartment 52 is covered by a masking element 88 which is fabricated of some suitable sheet material such as cardboard, metal or wood. This masking element is provided with a first set of longitudinally arranged and spaced apertures 90, 92 and 94 which are optically aligned with the colored windows 82, 8 4 and 86, respectively, already described. In between these apertures 90, 92 and 94 is a second set of apertures 96. As shown in FIG. 3, these apertures have particul-ar shapes, the apertures 90, 92 and 94 being wedge-shaped with the apices contiguous with the display screen 42 and the remaining apertures 96 also being wedge-shaped but with the apices there-of being adjacent to the partition assembly 56. Preferably, the masking element 88 lies in a plane which is normal to the plane of the display screen 42.
Mounted in the compartment 52 is a mirror 98 which is set at an angle to incline downwardly and away `from the -bottom edge 50 of the display screen 42. This mirror 98 is optically aligned with the respective windows 82, 84 and 86 such that the beams of light produced by the light sources 78, 80 will be refiected upwardly through the masking apertures 90, 92, 94, 96 along the path 100 which intersects the display screen 42 at an acute yor low incident angle. As will now be apparent, the mirror 98 serves to reflect the divergent light beam emitted by the sources 78, 80 upwardly onto the display screen 42.
For the purpose of covering the chamber 54, a cover 102 is hingedly mounted between the side Walls 34 and 36 of the cover 22. This cover 102 may be swung to an open position as shown in FIG. 4 for the purpose of gaining access to the light sources 78, 80. The components hereinabove described which define compartment 52 and chamber 54 may be referred to hereafter in certain claims as forming a housing In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the llght sources 78, are electrically connected to a composite output circuit 104 of the conventional audio frequency Vlter 30. The phonograph 26 is connected to `an audio amplifier 28 which in turn is connected to the input circuit of the filter 30. The filter 30 divides the audio spectrum into three different frequency output channels of, for example, sixty (60) to one thousand (1,000) cycles, one thousand (1,000) to five thousand (5,000) cycles, and five thousand (5,000) to ten thousand (10,000) cycles, respectively. These channels are identified in FIG. 5, respectively, by the numerals 106, 108, and 110. Chand nel 106, for example, is connected to the light sources 78, 80 which are associated with the red windows 82. The second channel 108 is connected to the light sources 78, 80 which are in registry with the colored windows 84. Thirdly, the channel 110 is connected to the light sources 78, 80 which are aligned with the colored windows 86. Thus, the respective light sources will be energized selec.l tively by signals appearing in the respective channels 106, 108 and 110.
In operation, the carrying case 20 is opened to the position shown in FIG. 1. In this position, the display screen 42 is positioned upright so that it may be readily observed. The phonograph 26 playing a conventional record generates audio frequencies which are amplified by the amplifier 28 and fed to the filter 30. The filter 30 in turn segregates the various audio frequencies as converted to corresponding electrical signals into the three separate channels 106, 108 and 110, these signals in turn being coupled to the various light sources 78, 80. If it is momentarily assumed that the phonograph is emitting electrical signals corresponding to the entire audio frequency spectrum, it will be noted that all three channels 106, 108, and 110 will energize the respective light sources 78, 80. This being true, the entire bank of -light sources will be energized so as to emit red, blue and green light, simultaneously. If it is next assumed that the phono-1 graph 26 is emitting signals only in the sixty to one-'f thousand (60 to 1,000) cycle range, only the channel 106 of the filter 30 will have signals appearing therein, thereby resulting in the energization of the red light sources 78, 80 only. Simultaneously, the light sources 78, 80 associated with the colored windows 84 and 86 Will be extinguished.
As a third possibility, if it is assumed that the phonograph 26 is emitting `signals in the two bands of one thousand to five thousand (1,000 to 5,000) cycles and five thousand to ten thousand (5,000 to 10,000) cycles, only the light sources 78, 80 associated with the windows 84 and 86 Will be energized, the light source associated with the window 82 being extinguished. Thus, it will appear that as the frequency of the music played by the phonograph 26 changes, the various light `sources 78, 80 will be correspondingly energized and extinguished in flashing sequence.
As explained earlier, the mirror 98 in the compartment 52 reflects the light energized by the light sourcesy 78, 80 upwardly onto the display screen 42 at an acute or low incident angle. This light is passed through the various apertures in the masking element 88 thereby providing a pattern of displayed light on the screen 42. Since the apertures 90, 92 and 94 are wedge-shaped, the pattern of light developed from each onto the display screen 42 will be correspondingly wedge-shaped so as to spread from an apex adjacent to the lower screen edge 50 upwardly into a corresponding Wedge shape. In FIG. 2 is illustrated exemplary wedge shapes of colored lights as indicated by the reference numerals 112, 114 and 116, respectively. These displayed wedges overlap as shown, thereby providing a mixing of the red, ygreen and blue colors in these overlapping areas.
As will now be apparent, each of the wedges 112, 114 and 116, have the individual color red, blue and green, respectively. As the Wedges overlai a mixing 4or blending of these colors will result, thereby providing an artful and attractive display of `colors. With music being played on the phonograph 26, these various, displayed wedges will ash on and off such that a constantly varying color pattern of light will be displayed on the screen 42.
Since the angle at which the light impinges the screen 42 is indeed small as illustrated in FIG. 4, the light passed by the various masking apertures will strike the screen 42 adjacent the bottom edge 50 thereof and will extend upwardly to the top edge 48. This results in the entire screen 42 being illuminated with the display of constantly varying colors.
As will be seen more clearly in FIG. 3, the wedges 90, 92 and 94 which account for the displayed color patterns 112, 114 and 116, respectively, are optically aligned with the colored windows 82, 84 and 86. This leaves the reverse shaped apertures 96 as being positioned in between the various colored Windows 82, 84 and 86. As previously explained, the light sources 78, 88 produce divergent beams, respectively, and this being the case, the `fringe portions of the respective beams will be retiected by the mirror 98 upwardly at an angle through the apertures 96. This results in some illumination ofthe areas of the screen 42 not covered by the primary color wedges 112, 114 and 116 since these apertures 96 are not in optical alignment with the respective light sources, it is seen that the light passed thereby and which falls on the screen 42 can be mixed to provide a further fanciful and artful display of moving colors on the screen.
The structure as thus far described is so arranged as to be uniquely compact for fitting into the cover 22 `of an ordinary phonograph carrying case. The longitudinal arrangement o f the various light sources permits the display of a multiplicity of different colors onto a display screen of extended area which is fully open for observation. Additionally, since the apparatus is mounted in the cover 22, the walls 34, 36, 38 and 48 thereof provide a light shield which renders the colored display more visible. In other words, ambient light is shielded from the display screen 42.
The low incident angle 108 as viewed in FIG. 4 of the displayed light is important, since it permits the structure of the light sources to be contained in a small, compact structure and further permits the display of the light over a large extended area.
While the masking element 88 has been illustrated and described in connection with FIGS. 1 through 4 inclusive as being wedge-shaped, different, unique patterns of light may be developed by different aperture shapes as illustrated by the various mask elements 88 appearing in FIGS. 6 through 1l respectively.
Reference is now made to FIG. 12 wherein another ernbodiment of the invention is illustrated. Like numerals indicate like parts. For the parts shown, the structure is identical with that shown in FIG. 2 with the exception that the mask element 88 is entirely eliminated. On the display screen 42 adjacent to the lower edge thereof I have mounted a plurality of elongated shields 118 which are V- shaped in cross-section. These shields 118 are mounted at one end 121 on the front side of the display screen 42 as shown and project forwardly into the path of the light beams which are angled upwardly from the mirror 98 onto to display screen 42. The shields 118 are arranged in a row extending parallel to the elongated opening 88a and are spaced apart in vertical alignment with the spaces between the light sources 76 as shown in FIG. 2. In other words, the light sources 76 are vertically aligned with the spaces between the respective shields 118.
In operation, light from the respective sources 76 is reected upwardly by the mirror 98 onto the front face of the display screen 42, a portion of this light being intercepted by the respective shields 118. The resulting display 6 on the display screen is therefore rendered colorful, interesting and unique by reason of the mixed wedge-shaped patterns of different colored light produced by reason of the presence of the various shields 118.
In FIG. 13 is illustrated still another form of the present invention. Like parts indicate like numerals, and the structure is identical to that of FIG. 12 with the exception that the shields 118 are replaced by flat triangular masking elements 120 which are attached to the front side of the screen 42 in the same geometrical arrangement as already described in connection with the shields 118 of FIG. 12. In operation, these masking elements 120 serve essentially the same purpose as the shields 118; however, a slightly different pattern of light is displayed on the screen 42 by reason of the particular shapes of the elements 120.
Referring now to FIGS. 14, 15 and 16, there is illustrated still another form of the present invention. In this embodiment, the structure is identical to that shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 as indicated by the like reference numerals which are assigned to like parts with the exception of three modifications. The first modification consists of curving the screen 42 adjacent end 48 such that the curvature of the screen 42 can be defined geometrically by a plurality of substantially identical curves drawn in a family of planes which intersect the bottom edge 50 of the screen 42 and the back wall 32 perpendicularly. In operation, the screen 42 is curved to a degree such that the light from the respective sources 78, reflected upwardly by the mirror 98 and onto the display screen 42 is substantially of the same intensity on the top portion of the screen 42 adjacent end 48 as it is at the bottom of the screen 42 adjacent end 50.
The second modification of the structure shown in FIGS. 1 through 4 which is incorporated in this last-mentioned embodiment of this invention is most clearly illustrated in FIG. 14, where there is shown a box 22a which is substituted for the cover 22 illustrated in FIG. 1. Box 22a has a back wall 32a (see FIG. 15), two opposite side walls 34a, 36a, respectively, and top and bottom walls 38a, 40a, respectively. In operation, the cover 22` and the box 22a are identical.
The third and linial modification of this last-mentioned embodiment comprises a second sheet-like mask element 88b which is horizontally disposed in box 22a in general parallelism yand a spaced-apart relationship with the mask element 88 of the first embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIG. 15, both the mask elements 88, 8813 are used in this embodiment of this invention. Mask element 88b extends between the side walls 34a and 36a and has a longitudinal edge 89a which is contiguous to screen 42. Like element 88, the second mask element 88b has a plurality of apertures which are longitudinally arranged and spaced from each other. A-pertures 90a, 92a and 94a, like the corresponding apertures, 90, 92, 94, are optically aligned with the colored windows 82, 84 and 86, respectively. In between these apertures 98a, 92a and 94a is a second set of apertures 96a. As shown in FIG. 15, these apertures have a particular shape, the apertures 90a, 92a and 94a being wedge-shaped with the apices contiguous to the display screen 42 yand the remaining apertures 96a also being wedge-shaped but with the api'ces spaced-apart and remote from the screen 42. Finally, while masking element 88b has been illustrated and described in connection with FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 as being wedge-shaped, different, unique patterns of `light may be developed by different aperture shapes as illustrated by the various mask elements 88, 88h, appearing in FIGS. 6 through 11, respectively. Again While mask elements 88, 88b have been described as being identical in connection with FIGS. 14, 15 and 16, they may be dissimilar fand may have apertures of shapes appearing in FIGS. 6 through 1l, respectively.
In operation, this last-described embodiment functions substantially identical to the embodiments abovede yscribed to produce a plurality of different colored divergent beams which are directed against mirror 98, through mask element 88 and onto the display screen 42 in such a manner that the beams will overlay each other and mix or diffuse thereby forming a plurality of rays of multicolored and diffused light on the screen 42. However, the inclusion of the mask element 88h in the last-mentioned embodiment disrupts the colored light pattern formed by the aforementioned diffused light rays and produces a new and distinctly appearing colored light pattern intermediate the top 38a of the box 22a and the mask 88h. This new and distinctively appearing light pattern is produced by the afore-mentioned rays of multicolored and .diffused light impinging on the mask element 88b and being partially masked out so that only a portion of the rays pass through apertures therein thereby forming a plurality of diffused light means on the screen 42 which diverge and overlap and further diffuse together in a similar manner as afore-indicated by the wedge shapes of colored lights indicated at 112, 114 and 116 in FIG. 2. As is obvious from this description, however, the diffused light beams passing through mask element 88h will have a greater variety of colors than the light sources 78, 80 and will also include the colors of the sources 73, 80 and the colors formed therefrom by the afore-mentioned mixing.
While the light sources 78, 80 have been described hereinabove as being turned on and off or as being energized and extinguished by the phonograph 26, the light sources 78, S more accurately only vary in intensity. Therefore, the use of the words on and off and energized Iand extinguished herein is meant to describe the light sources 78, 80 varying in intensity from a low intensity glow to a high intensity beam in proportion to the intensity of the signals energizing the same while the phonograph 26 plays. Only when no energizing signal is present at all are the light sources 78, 80 ever actually off or extinguished.

Malaysia found a new goal-scoring star and sealed their status as Hockey World League Round One winners with an emphatic 5-0 win over Kazakhstan. Two goals from Hasliza Ali Noor and a goal apiece for Nuraini Rashid, Nadia Rahman and Adawiyah Mohamed saw the Malaysians emerge as unbeaten champions. The coach, Nubli Nasihin Ibrahim, had said before the final that his forwards were playing well, but even so he will have been delighted with the clinical finishing displayed by the team ranked 22nd in the world. Ibrahim will have been particularly pleased with the performance of Nuraini Rashid – this tournament saw her win her first international cap and she finished as the competition's top goal scorer, finding the net eight times.
Their opponents, Kazakhstan had enjoyed a good tournament to that point. They were also unbeaten going into the final, and had conceded only one goal to that point. They are ranked 11 places below Malaysia in the FIH World Rankings, and this win will have secured them both important ranking points as well as invaluable international experience. Both teams will now contest round two of the Hockey World League later in the cycle.
The second Hockey World League Round One competition has now started in Lithuania. Joining the host nation are Poland, Belarus and the Ukraine. This competition runs from today until 29 June.
The opening matches of the round robin competition see Belarus face Poland, while Ukraine takes on Lithuania.

Bill keeps fed conservation efforts out of KS

Tue May 13, 2014
Brownback says no to conservation of lesser prairie chicken
Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill this week that tells the U.S. government it has no authority to regulate prairie chickens within the state of Kansas. The bill also threatens lawsuits against federal conservation efforts in an escalating dispute over reversing the population decline of the lesser prairie chicken according to a recent article from the Topeka Capital-Journal.
The lesser prairie chicken obtained "threatened" status in March.
The "State Sovereignty over Non-migratory Wildlife Act" takes effect this week.
More information about the bill is available from the Topeka Capital-Journal.

"Yes on G" Guarantees Double Taxation
Original post made by Thanks Feds, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on May 15, 2009
Measure G was written before we knew we were to receive this much money from the federal stimulus package. Now that we know the amount, Measure G is unnecessary. Not only is it unnecessary, if it is passed we will be paying twice; once in federal taxes, and again in a parcel tax. How much increased spending can we pass on to our kids? This is not fair to them. If you are for the kids, you will vote No on Measure G.

Jamie Lidell Announces New Self-Titled Album, Shares New Track "What a Shame"
By Carrie Battan on November 15, 2012 at 4:27 p.m. EST
Soul experimentalist Jamie Lidell will follow up 2010's Compass with a new self-titled full-length, scheduled for release on February 19 (February 18 in the UK) through Warp. (That's the cover art, above.) Above, have a listen to a new track called "What a Shame", and watch a trailer for the album after the tracklist.
Listen: Beck Remixes Jamie Lidell
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 10, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
"Completely Exposed" is a disjointed piece of funk pop from R&B abstractionist Jamie Lidell's most recent solo album, last year's Compass. Now, that album's co-producer, Beck, has reworked the song into something more booming and spacious; the remix is for the taking below (e-mail address required).
Listen: tUnE-yArDs Remixes Jamie Lidell

Jamie Lidell: "Compass" (tUnE-yArDs Remix):
Jamie Lidell: Compass (tUnE-yArDs Remix)
Jamie Lidell and tUnE-yArDs are both art-poppers with R&B influences, but each pushes those influences in very, very different directions. So it's interesting to hear what tUnE-yArDs does with the title track to Lidell's album Compass. It pretty much sounds like an exact combination of both artists' styles.
Jamie Lidell Reveals Tour Dates, Video
By Ryan Dombal on June 7, 2010 at 12:40 p.m. EDT
Photo by Kathryn Yu
Ecstatic and nerdy soul man Jamie Lidell is a tremendously endearing live performer, and he's taking his show on the road this summer in the U.S., Canada, and Europe in support of his new LP, Compass. All dates are below.
And he's got a new video for the mutant funk track "I Wanna Be Your Telephone". Directed by Lindsey Rome, the clip finds the singer goofily perving out while filming a 50s-style pin-up. Plus, Lidell and his three-man band took to the streets and parks of Paris for a recent "Take Away Show". Watch both videos after the jump:
Jamie Lidell Talks Beck and Feist-Assisted New Album Compass
By Ryan Dombal on May 11, 2010 at 9:25 a.m. EDT
Front page photo by Lindsay Rome
On the title track from his new album Compass (listen here), soul singer Jamie Lidell sounds worn. His voice is noticeably scratchier than on anything from his two previous solo albums, 2005's future-funk expo Multiply or 2008's polished throwback Jim. The rough and raw vibe runs straight through Compass, which is out May 18 via Warp. It's still a R&B record at heart, but it has Lidell stretching himself like never before, going from desert balladry to oddball Tom Waits-ian mouth-box funk to baby-making slow jams. "This is my most full-frontal work lyrically and sonically," he told me, sitting in the Standard Hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. "It's all in there."
Lidell also worked with several luminaries on the album, including Beck, Feist, Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, and legendary studio drummer James Gadson, whose work with Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, and other soul legends has made him one of R&B's unsung heroes. Lidell talked of all his collaborators in awed tones, and he's got a lot to thank them for. But Lidell himself is an in-demand, in-studio phenom; he helped out with Feist's The Reminder, credited as "energy arranger." The title makes a lot more sense once you see his spontaneous, fearless presence pop out in the recording session videos for Beck's recent Skip Spence Record Club project. Meeting Lidell, it's easy to see why so many are attracted to his creative energy; he's warm, funny, candid.
In our chat, we discussed the making of Compass, Beck's "real super power", and the inescapability of Michael Jackson:
Video Premiere: Jamie Lidell: "The Ring"
By Tom Breihan on March 25, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
The retro-soul howler and IDM beat-freak Jamie Lidell now has a video for "The Ring", a junkyard-blues jam from his guest-heavy Compass album, du May 18 on Warp. The clip pretty much consists entirely of lo-res vintage camera footage of Lidell freaking out at the beach. He runs around! He digs in sand! He makes ridiculous faces!
Watch the results below, or at Pitchfork.tv.
Beck, Feist Guest on Jamie Lidell LP
By Ryan Dombal on February 8, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EST
If you've ever seen electro-soul whiz Jamie Lidell live, you know the guy can deliver ample amounts of ecstatic joy. It just feels good to be in the same room as him. So it makes a lot of sense that talented people including Beck, Feist, Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, Daniel Rossen, and Chris Bear, Wilco's Pat Sansone, legendary R&B drummer James Gadson, soul belter Nikka Costa, Beck keyboardist Brian LeBarton, and producer/songwriter Gonzales would want to help out on Lidell's new album. That album is titled Compass and due out May 18 courtesy of Warp.
Premiere: New Jamie Lidell Song: "Compass"
By Ryan Dombal on February 5, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. EST
Gleefully bizarre soul crooner Jamie Lidell is just about ready to unleash his follow-up to 2008's Jim. To celebrate, we're premiering the shape-shifting mini epic "Compass", a brand new track that sounds like nothing Lidell has done before.
Stream it above and check back here on Monday for more news on the genre-bender's forthcoming album, which features some very special guest stars. Consider yourselves teased.
Watch Jamie Lidell and Feist Sing Skip Spence for Beck's Record Club
By Ryan Dombal on December 18, 2009 at 3:10 p.m. EST
Photo by Autumn de Wilde (More great Record Club sessions photos by de Wilde here.)
After Feist sang lead on last week's episode of Beck's ongoing Record Club mission to cover Skip Spence's 1969 LP Oar, it's soul crooner Jamie Lidell's turn to take the spotlight on the hazy "War in Peace". The pretty faithful version also features Feist on backup vocals, and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline basically steals the whole thing with a couple of remarkable solos. Watch the in-studio video below:
Beck, Wilco, Feist, Jamie Lidell Team Up to Cover Skip Spence's Album Oar
By Amy Phillips on November 12, 2009 at 9:20 p.m. EST
Beck's Record Club: Can it get any more awesome? Yes it can. And it just did.
As you know, Record Club works like this: Beck rounds up a revolving cast of guests to cover an entire album's worth of songs in a day. The results are then posted in weekly installments on Beck's website.
The latest entry in the series? Beck, Wilco, Feist, and Jamie Lidell teaming up to cover the 1969 cult fave Oar by onetime Moby Grape/Jefferson Airplane member turned acid casualty Skip Spence. The album's leadoff track, "Little Hands", is up on Beck's site right now.

DEFINITION of 'Short-Interest Theory'
A theory which holds that a security with a high degree of short interest may be poised to increase in price. The short-interest theory suggests that some heavily shorted stocks may be prime candidates for significant price appreciation in the near term, as short sellers buy the stock to cover their short positions. This buying pressure fosters a "short squeeze" and creates a price spike that may trigger more short covering. Since high short interest in a stock is generally a bearish indicator, the short-interest theory's premise that such a stock will advance amounts to a contrarian bet. The theory focuses on stocks with high short interest, which is measured in terms of shares sold short either as a percentage of shares outstanding, or as a percentage of float.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Short-Interest Theory'
For example, if Stock A has 50 million shares outstanding and 2.5 million of its shares have been sold short, it has a short interest of 5%. If stock B has 40 million shares outstanding, of which 10 million shares have been sold short, it has a short interest of 25%. The short-interest theory maintains that all other things being equal, stock B may have a higher probability of a near-term price increase than stock B.
Another measure used to identify stocks with potential for share appreciation is the short-interest ratio (SIR), which also considers average daily trading volume in the stock. Continuing with the earlier example, if Stock A has average daily trading volume of 500,000 shares, it would have an SIR of 5 (2.5 million / 500,000), and if 250,000 shares of B are traded daily, it would have an SIR of 40 (10 million / 250,000). The SIR means that it would take five days and 40 days, respectively, to buy back all the shares that have been sold short of A and B, respectively. This confirms the short interest theory that B is the better candidate for a price rise.
Investors should be careful not to rely too heavily on the short-interest theory to identify stocks in which to invest. Very often, a stock with an inordinately high degree of short interest may have deteriorating fundamentals and a highly leveraged balance sheet. While the stock may rise substantially if a positive development sparks a short squeeze, there is also a distinct risk that the short sellers may be right in their grim assessment that the stock may be headed much lower in the future.

This is the Eeveelutions Battle Area. I use all seven Eeveelutions (duh) and Eevee itself. Here are the rules:
- No hacked Pokemon. Hacked items are O.K..
- Only two items per team, with no two items being the same. You can't have both Focus items or two Choice items, either.
- You must announce your team of six, along with who has what items. I will then accept your challenge with my team for your battle.
- No Legendaries, Wynaut line, Rotom, or more than one Psuedo to a team.

By Court reporter 04/05 Updated: 04/05 07:36
A BURGLAR from Leamington who caused more than £50,000 of damage when he broke into a town office block and ripped out lengths of copper pipe from all four floors has been jailed for four years.
Maxwell Hill, 40, of Portland Street, had pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to three charges of burglary.
Prosecutor Gareth Walters said that over a weekend in September last year Hill broke into the Woven Ground rug shop in Regent Street, Leamington, through a rear upstairs window. He escaped with three Apple computers and rugs worth a total of £6,500.
At the end of October he broke into an office block in Waterloo Place, parts of which were unoccupied at the time.
Hill stole lengths of copper piping from unoccupied rooms on all four floors, causing damage which cost in excess of £50,000 to repair.
He returned to the same block over the first weekend in November, but having got into one of the unoccupied areas he then targeted the offices of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools by breaking through a wall in the attic. On that occasion he stole four laptop computers, two digital projectors and cash to a total value of just over £8,000.
But Hill, who had 92 previous convictions including 36 for burglary, was arrested after his DNA was found at the scene.
He immediately admitted responsibility for the burglaries and another one at Woven Ground during which he had also taken a computer, and said he needed money for his drug addiction.
Nick Devine, defending, said: "He has had a long-standing drug addiction problem; he needed money, and he returned to what he knows best."
Jailing Hill, Judge Marten Coates told him: "This is your 29th appearance before the court, and you are well known for burgling premises which are commercial in nature.
"You do untold damage when you take computers in commercial burglaries; you have no idea what information is on them."

10,000 Days is the title slated for Tool's fourth full-length studio album, announced for release on 2nd May, 2006. The album was leaked on the Intenet via torrents network and I am here to write my review after almost 20 full listens to it.
In My Humble Opinion 10,000 days is my second favourite Tool album after Ænima. As per my view the first 5 songs of this album is the best first half that any Tool album has ever done. This is what I think of some of my favourite Tool songs in order of track listing:-
* Vicarious - A very catchy and deserves-to-be-leaked-first song. The guitar riffs are amazing, specially before the 'Lie-Lie-Lie-Lie-Lie' part. One of the best lyrics I have ever heard after stinkfist. I give it a 4/5
* Jambi - The best drumming in the entire album. I would agree with Andy King that it is Hendrix like here. A pretty addictive song and definitely deserves a 4.5/5.
* The Pot - Definitely the most bizarre and the best song in the entire album. Maynard's voice should no longer be called monotone as he has experimented a lot in this song. The song is fun to hear and has been rightfully called 'Hooker With a Penis' of 'Ænima'. The song is damn addictive and I have been listening it all night. Unobjectionably this one deserves a 5/5.
* 10,000 Days/Wings For Marie - A very different and the most personal/emotional song Maynard has ever written in my opinion. Amazing lyrics keeps you stuck to the song. 4.5/5 would be nice.
* Rosetta Stoned - A great song, stands out due to its outlandish lyrics. This one takes away the 'Crazy Song Of the Album' tagline. Maynard must be high while writing this one.
* Right In Two _ another great and mysterious song. The lyrics are very vague and thee song wants to remain hidden for reason. The only good song of the second half in my opinion.
So where does this album lack? It fucking doesn't lack anywhere and is an awesome album overall. But, I will have to agree that the second half when compared to other albums like Ænima or Lateralus isn't at par. The lyrics are comparatively weak and nothing 'progressive'. It sounds very Toolish and has nothing new compared to the first half.
Overall, its by far Tool's one of the greatest work and I'd recommend you to go ahead, buy it and support the band so that we keep getting the great piece of fucking music from the fucking great band. I spent a sleepless night yesterday listening to the album and have already got the album pre-ordered by a cousin in the UK.

Official: Oil spill 'poses no threat' to public
Updated On: Jul 21 2014 07:23:05 PM EDT
A Duke Energy officials said an oil spill in the Keowee River does not pose a threat to the public.
BJ Gatten, spokeswoman for Duke Energy, said the spill happened at Duke's Keowee hydro plant Sunday evening. When workers noticed the spill, it was stopped and contained by a yellow boom across the water.
The spill happened in the Tail Race area of the Keowee River and can be seen from the bridge over Highway 183 near the Pickens County line.
Gatten said about five gallons of oil spilled from what she described as an apparent equipment failure.
"Keowee hydro is a separate plant. It's located here on the property with Oconee nuclear station, but they are two completely separate plants. Keowee's job is to produce electricity from water," Gatten said. "Today, plant personnel are working to understand what happened and to make sure that it doesn't happen again."

In a stark reversal, President Obama on Monday ended a two-year freeze on military trials for terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and established a system for holding dangerous detainees there indefinitely, without charges. Administration officials say the president remains committed to closing the military prison, but critics say he's just perpetuating the policies of his predecessor. Is Obama essentially conceding that George W. Bush was right? (Watch an AP report about the reversal)
Yes, Obama's hypocrisy is shocking: "This isn't a flip flop; it's a lie," says Rick Moran at American Thinker. The administration insists Obama has changed Bush's policy, but he's basically restarting the same military tribunals he vilified Bush for during the 2008 campaign. Smell that? It's the "nauseating stench of hypocrisy."
"Obama takes steps to promote terrorism and ruin America's image, while stoking a climate of fear and creating more terrorists"
Obama has not changed his mind: This is "embarrassing" for Obama, says Frank James at NPR, but it probably "won't hurt him politically." He remains committed to closing Guantanamo, but Congress is blocking him. In the meantime, at least he's adding procedures "to bring the detentions closer to the norms of U.S. constitutional values and the Geneva Conventions."
"Obama Gitmo reversal: Maybe embarrassing but unlikely to hurt politically"
Whatever the reason, this makes a mockery of justice: Obama is trying to soothe his disappointed supporters, says Amy Davidson at The New Yorker, by setting up some "court-like trappings" for prisoners held "indefinitely without charges." But he's still sidestepping "the rule of law." Maybe he's doing it less brazenly than Bush — but that doesn't exactly "count as a moral stand."
"More time at Gitmo?"
Obama is finally accepting reality: The 172 detainees at Guantanamo aren't pickpockets — they're "accused war criminals," says the New York Daily News. It would be "costly, dangerous and politically untenable" to insist on trying people like the confessed "9/11 mastermind" Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian courts. Obama is now giving them access to a "fair and constitutional justice system." This just proves "it is never too late to do the right thing."
"Obama turnaround on military tribunals at Gitmo gives terrorists their day in right court of justice"

Hi, my name is David and I am a Bilingual elementary school teacher. I work closely with students to improve their test grades in the areas of Language Arts and Math. I believe that every child can learn and achieve their goals. My experience and results have shown that if you make learning a Fun experience for a child you can reach them and captivate their minds. In order for a child to succeed they must be involved and engaged in the learning process. Children are often intimidated by the idea of "Exams" and the pressure of having to pass. My technique is simple but effective:
1. I use the knowledge that the student already has to create personalized lessons that build on what they already know to reach their academic goals.
2. I break up the "Big Goal" into smaller and less intimidating goals that gradually increase in difficulty so that learning and test taking is actually an achievable aim for that student. When a child sees that they are making real progress and begin to "get it", they become motivated to continue learning and develop the skills they learn.
I pride myself in the fact that in State Standardized tests all of my students have outscored their city counterparts.
I am knowledgeable in the new Common Core Standards as well as in No Child Left Behind Standards. I was involved in the past year in developing the Reading and Writing. Besides ELA & Math, I have plenty of experience with Social Studies as well as Science content. I am very familiar with reading comprehension techniques and have been heavily involved with after school and Saturday Academy as a way to increase student achievement on standardized tests.
Please contact me and let me know how I can help your child to be successful. I look forward to working with you and your child.
I am a NYC licensed 1-6 elementary school teacher, with 3 years experience in the areas of ELA, math, science and social studies. I have participated in the creation of my school's ELA and math curriculum as well as training for the grade teachers in both areas. I have also participated in Saturday ELA and Math Academy as well as ELA and math test preparation after school programs. I have training in the Common Core State Standards and my instruction is tied to them.
I am fully bilingual in English/Spanish and have taught fifth grade dual language classes for 3 years. I have experience with teaching reading and writing as well as content area (social studies/science). Feel free to contact me. I look forward to working with your child.

contextual advertising
(n.) Advertising on a website that is targeted to the specific individual who is visiting the Web site. A contextual ad system scans the text of a Web site for keywords and returns ads to the Web page based on what the user is viewing, either through ads placed on the page or pop-up ads. For example, if the user is viewing a site about sports, and the site uses contextual advertising, the user might see ads for sports-related companies, such as memorabilia dealers or ticket sellers. Contextual advertising also is used by search engines to display ads on their search results pages based on what word(s) the users has searched for.
Contextual advertising has attracted some controversy through the use of techniques such as third-party hyperlinking, where a third party installs software onto a user's computer that interacts with the browser by turning keywords on a Web page into links that lead to advertisers that are not paying the Web site to advertise on its pages.
A contextual ad is the advertisement that dynamically appears on a Web site.
