- For the crafting resource in Dragon Age II, see Lyrium (crafting resource).
Lyrium is a valuable but dangerous mineral-like lifeform. Physical contact with raw lyrium ore will cause serious injury and psychological damage for humans or elves, and will kill mages outright. The Miner caste of the dwarves is able to find lyrium veins by ear[1] as they claim that they hear the Stone sing.[2] Then the caste processes the ore into a less dangerous and more useful form. Generations of proximity to lyrium ore veins have made dwarves naturally resistant, though not completely immune, to its effects. Even their resistance is only skin deep, as open cuts and direct exposure to the eyes leaves them vulnerable. Surface dwarves lose this resistance over time.
Adverse effects Edit
Even though dwarves have a natural resistance, raw lyrium is dangerous for all but the most experienced of the Mining Caste to handle. Even for dwarves, exposure to the unprocessed mineral can cause deafness or memory loss. For humans and elves, direct contact with lyrium ore produces nausea, blistering of the skin, and dementia. Mages are the most affected by exposure to lyrium, as even close proximity to the substance is invariably fatal to them.[1]
In its processed form, lyrium may be handled by anyone, but long term exposure or a single mistake while working with it can lead to serious side effects. Prolonged use becomes addictive, the cravings unbearable. The effects of lyrium addiction for templars include paranoia, obsession, and dementia.[3] Over time, templars grow disoriented, incapable of distinguishing memory from present, or dream from waking. They frequently become paranoid as their worst memories and nightmares haunt their waking hours. Mages have additionally been known to suffer physical mutation.[1]
Uses Edit
Processed lyrium is used by dwarves and the Tranquil to enchant items. When mixed into liquid and ingested, lyrium allows mages to enter the Fade when fully aware, unlike all others who reach it only when dreaming. This unique property is essential for the Circle of Magi's Harrowing rituals. Such potions can also be used to aid in the casting of especially taxing spells, for a short time granting a mage far greater power than the mage normally wields.[1] Mages can also be branded with lyrium to become Tranquils, forever severing their connection to the Fade.[4] While mages use lyrium in their arcane spells and rituals, templars ingest the primordial mineral to enhance their abilities to resist and dispel magic.[3]
Lyrium is used by the Chantry to control the templars. Templars are given lyrium to "develop their talents" which also leaves them addicted and thus within the control of the Chantry, which controls the lyrium trade (Alistair seems to doubt whether it actually has any real effect and Cassandra is apparently capable of using talents similar to the Templar though the Seekers powers apparently require a different Training Regiment).
Trace amounts of lyrium can be infused in stones to create glowstones, which are used to light passages. This practice is most common in Orlais.[5][6]
The smiths of Amgarrak, under the jurisdiction of a Tevinter mage, created strange contraptions known as lyrium wells, capable of shifting objects and people through different levels of the Fade and creating runic golems. However, this was used against them when one of their experiments created a monstrosity capable of manipulating the Wells. After realizing what their creation was capable of, the smiths were forced to seal the thaig to make sure that it wouldn't be able to escape.
In the Fade, the Warden encounters a resource called "raw lyrium" that can replenish all health, stamina, and mana. This also is present at Anvil of the Void, though the effect is lesser, and has no effect on dwarf characters. In both instances, this raw lyrium is confirmed (on PC) to have the same effect on the (non-Dwarven) Warden regardless of whether they are a mage or not, which seems to contradict the statement that simply touching raw lyrium is fatal to a mage.
Fenris has lyrium-infused tattoos, which, when used, grant him the ability to phase through solid objects, an act that taps into the Fade. The lyrium tattoos greatly enhance Fenris's warrior talents, making him hard to track, giving him magic resistance, and generating bursts of damaging spirit energy. The process of putting lyrium under his skin was so agonizing that by the time the procedure was complete, Fenris had total amnesia. Fenris claims it is physically painful for his markings to be touched.
Red lyrium Edit
- Main article: Red lyrium
Red lyrium is a rare, more potent and more addictive form of raw lyrium created when normal lyrium is corrupted by the darkspawn taint.
Notes Edit
- Deep mushrooms often grow near lyrium veins.[7]
- The glowing slime is an animal living underground which leeches lyrium from the walls allowing it to develop a substance which disorients its prey as well as giving this animal a distinctive blue-green color.
- Beneath the Frostback Mountains there are rich deposits of lyrium veins which have been mined by the dwarves of Orzammar for many millennia.
Trivia Edit
- In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Cullen goes through lyrium withdrawal.
- Effects of lyrium addiction were intended to be implemented in Dragon Age: Origins for mage and templar companions and the use of lyrium potions would have diminishing returns. However, this was ultimately dropped because most characters would need to drink lyrium potions to remain effective, guaranteeing addiction, and the developers couldn't find a way to implement addictions in a way that was neither meaningless nor excessively punishing.[8]
- In Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, Justice also claimed that his lyrium ring, a gift from the Warden-Commander, has a beautiful song which he wishes his spirit brethren were able to hear.
- In Dragon Age: Asunder, Cole is also able to hear the music when the mages use lyrium for a ritual to enter the Fade, while Adrian hears it when they awaken, leaving the Fade.
- The ashes of the prophet Andraste have the miraculous powers of healing, but Oghren believes the lyrium veins in the temple's wall are richer and purer than anything he has sensed in a while, and that it is changing the building and everything in it.[9] However, according to Chantry legends, Havard experienced the healing effects of the ashes before they were taken to the temple.[10]
- Red lyrium is described as being an anti-magic substance, an opposite force to regular lyrium.[11]

American Dad
American Dad: Stan of Arabia: Part 2
At the end of last week's episode, we had left all the family in precarious positions. Except for Stan that is. He had lost all faith in America and declared his love for Saudi Arabia instead. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait just a minute. Isn't this show called American Dad? On with the show!
American Dad: Stan of Arabia
American Dad: Con Heir
Prison Break and The Office already get full season renewals
[Ed: Correction: New season for The 4400, but just more new episodes for the other shows. Thanks hessian!]
[via Cynopsis]
American Dad: All About Steve
American Dad: A Smith In Hand
American Dad: Bullocks to Stan
American Dad: Deacon Stan, Jesus Man
Stan is so intent on beating his neighbor, Chuck White, to church - so he can park in a shady spot, that he runs over pigeons and elderly neighbors on his way there. When the deacon chokes to death on a communion wafer, the church needs a new one.
Chuck volunteers for deacon, so Stan, naturally, does too. On top of that, Chuck offers to host the potluck for the wake while Stan is in the bathroom. Poor Stan - Chuck has a bigger paycheck, a nicer house, a better wife and kids, how can Stan compete with him? It's on!
Back home, Rodger is in a reproductive cycle and is lactating.
American Dad: Homeland Insecurity
Francine is upset with Stan because she feels disconnected from their friends and neighbors. Seems his habit of doing background checks and body cavity searches is making it hard to fit in.
She decides to have a block party. He tells her to have the party, and promises to be good. All is well until Francine wants to invite the new neighbors - who of Iranian descent - but from Cleveland. Stan, of course, decides the new neighbors are "enemies of freedom" and sets out to make the world safe from them.
American Dad: Rodger Codger
I don't get why so many Family Guy fans don't like American Dad. It can be quite funny. On tonight's episode, Stan finds himself losing out to up-and-coming Agent Duper on a training course at work.
To try to smooth things over a bit, Stan invites his boss over for dinner - but of course, he can't let his boss see Rodger. Stan and Rodger get into a fight about Stan wanting to hide Rodger and Rodger getting freaked out and squirting green ecotoplase, and Rodger suffers a "stress induced hibernation cycle". The family, however, thinks Rodger is dead, so, naturally, Stan throws Rodger in a trash dumpster to dispose of the body.
Rodger comes out of hibernation at the dump, and when he realizes what happened, he is pissed! Rodger disguises himself as an old woman to get home. He ends up on a retirement home bus heading to field trip to DC. He gets caught on camera in the Oval Office, and Stan's boss sets the agents after him. Stan goes after Rodger himself.
Patrick Stewart guests and is smooth as Dad's boss, Bullock. Interesting note: Rachel MacFarlane, Seth MacFarlane's sister, voices the Smith's wildchild daughter, Hayley. Anyhow, American Dad is a smart and funny show. I really wish the anti-Dad folks out there would give Stan a chance.
American Dad gets 13 more episodes. I think.
OK, maybe it's because it's still the morning and I haven't had my caffeine yet, but I don't really understand this news article at The Hollywood Reporter. It says that Fox's American Dad has been giving a 13 episode order, but then it has this paragraph:
"...creators/executive producers Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, had an original order of 19 episodes, including the pilot. Four have aired so far, with several more slated to run in the summer. Because Fox already had ordered several additional scripts of Dad production on the new batch of 13 episodes will start immediately, and the segments will become available in the spring. The new 13-episode order ensures that Dad will stay in continuous production."
Um, OK. Does that mean they have 13 episodes total, and 4 have aired (leaving 9 more)? Or does it mean that they have an order for 13 more in addition to the 4 they already had, totalling 17? Or is this 13 in addition to the original order of 19, making it 32? Math was my worst subject in school.
Was that swearing on American Dad?
American Dad: So very, very bad
American Dad short hits theaters

More on IBM 75GXP Drive Fiasco 371
from the quality-control-is-priority-one dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Here at work use IBM through and through. Not many problems with any Think Centres but some batches of them come with Western Digital drives inside. We replace faulty drives with Maxtor drives and have had the best results with them, although there are some that are very noisy (but haven't and won't die). Loads vary due to segment: either workstation (client server and word, no big stress) or student workstation (they've seen the worst).
Personally, I have had horrid luck with the Western Digital JB (i.e. special edition) series. All have failed on me and I wouldn't trust them outside of an IDE RAID mirrored situation. About a dozen Maxtor drives have yet to die. I also have Fujistu, Seagate and the old IBM 8.4 original quit drives (best drive ever, IMO).
From what I see at deal sites like fatwallet and bens bargain's, overall drive quality has gone down in the past year or so. Some drives are over abused though, as I've seen people rip DVD's and re-encode to the same drive and wonder why they fail after about 8 months...
I think the problem was obvious when looking through forum posts of users who had 75GXP drives. It wasn't the number of failures as much as it was the number of failures per user. Sure, some people didn't have any problems, but many others had multiple drive failures, and the failure distribution was statistically abnormal.
As much as I'm happy that this is out in the open and that there's a class action suit, what will the users get out of this? In the tech world, two+ years is an eternity. Will they get the typical $20 voucher towards a new Hitachi drive while the class action lawyers get the millions? I had two fail on me in two months (on my VIA 686B south bridge while they worked fine on someone else's AMD south bridge). I had to fight IBM red tape as they kept trying to pawn me off on Acer but couldn't even give me the right point of contact at Acer (but I finally got through after six months).
You know what they say... in a lawsuit, the only winners are the lawyers.
Sure, this is "just" a hard drive, it can be replaced. What about when corporate negligance leads to permanent damage of people (e.g., health care)? What about deaths at the hands of corporations?
I can't believe no one is going after Maxtor.
- You can use it as a fridge magnet. Keep a pry bar around to detach it
- Stick one on a toolbelt, it's strong enough to hold a magnet!

7 Claims. 7 (Cl. 178-65) My invention relates broadly to electrical vrecording and reproduction of images accompanied by sound and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus for simultaneously recordingmovements and sound and reproducing the recorded images and sound.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for recording the movements of objects simultaneously with sound in a manner by which electrical impulses corresponding to such movements and sound may be recorded on a permanent record and reproduced from such record to simultaneously reproduce the image of the original object accompanied by sound incidental to the original production.
Another object of my invention is to provide a system and apparatus for recording and reproducing images with sound accompaniment in third dimension or perspective for imparting to the reproduced images a naturalness simulating the original object.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a method and apparatus for instantaneously reproducing movements with sound incidental thereto in third dimension or perspective for simulating the original scene with sound accompaniment.
A'further object of my invention is to provide a method and apparatus for converting movements of objects into electrical impulses and utilizing such electrical impulses for actuating reproducing means operative to optically reproduce the movements of the objects in very substantial detail.
Other and further objects of my invention res de in improved methods and apparatus for converting the movement of animate objects into visual reproductions with sound accompaniment as set forth more fully in the specification hereinafter following by reference to the accompanyin drawings, in which:
Figure 1 schematically shows one arrangement of the visual and sound recording circuits employed in the system of my invention; Fig, 2 schematically illustrates one arrangement of the sound and optical reproducing system of my invention; Fig. 3 is a plan view of one form of stage by which the movement of performing artists may be converted into electrical impulses for either instantaneous reproduction at some remote point or for the purpose of recording such impulses for subsequent reproductions; Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view through the stage structure illustrated in Fig. 3 taken substantially on line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an enlarged schematic arrangement illustrating the association of light sensitive cells and light sources in the celling and floor structures of the stage shown in Figs. 3 and 4, it being understood that in the floor structure of the stage light sensitive cells are employed in adjacent positions whereas in the ceiling structure of the stage composite arrangements of adjacent light sources and light sensitive cells are employed; Fig. 6 illustrates in elevational view a fragmentary portion of one of the wall structures employed in association with the stage in Figs. 3 and 4, certain of which carry adjacent light sensitive cells while coacting opposite walls carry composite arrangements of light sensitive cells and light sources; Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the arrangement of light sources and light sensitive cells in the side walls of the stage structure and in the ceiling and floor structure and the effect of an intermediate object upon the light sensitive cells when interposed in the path of diametrically opposite light sources; Fig. 8 is a more detailed schematic wiring diagram illustrating the manner of converting the movement of objects into electrical impulses for permanently recording such impulses-on a disc record; Fig. 9 is a plan view of the type of disc record which receives the recording of tracings representing electrical impulses incident to the movement of objects as well as electrical impulses incident to the sound produced by the performers; Fig. 10 is a perspective view represent- .ing a dual type of reproducing head or pick-up apparatus in which the movement of objects is optically reproduced; Fig. 13 is a fragmentary view of the driving mechanism provided for the screen of Fig. 12 and illustrating one manner of establishing connection with the light reproducing devices or cells which are honeycombed throughout the structure of the viewing screen of Fig. 12; Fig. 14 is a top plan view of the viewing screen shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the view being partially broken away and showing the honeycomb arrangement of light cells for optically reproducing the movement of objects; Fig.
is a side elevational view of the screens shown in Figs. 12, 13 and 14, the view being partially broken away to show the honeycomband rowlike arrangement of the light sensitive cells therein; Fig. 16 illustrates a modified arrangement of light cells which are clustered before being honeycombed into the screen structure to provide for color reproduction under control of impulses from light sensitive cells in the recording stage which are discriminatory with respect to color; Fig. 17 shows a form of camera which may be employed for converting the movement of objects into electrical impulses where it is not feasible to utilize a stage structure as illustrated in Figs. 3-7; Fig. 18 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the camera structure of Fig. 17 on line I8-I8 thereof; Fig. 19 illustrates the arrangement of light sensitive cells employed in the camera construction of Figs. 17 and 18 on the surface of the rotatable drum thereof; Fig. 20 illustrates a modified form of camera which may be utilized for picking up scenes in the field and where a much larger picture may be recorded than in the form of camera illustrated in Figs. 17-19, the view illustrating the camera in side elevation with the casing shown in section; Fig. 21 is a front elevational view of the camera illustrated in Fig. 20, the casing being broken away and illustrated in section on line 2I-2I of Fig. 20; Fig. 22 is a view of the light sensitive or photoelectric cells employed in the camera of Figs. 20 and 21, the cells being shown arranged in clusters for recording all color pictures; Fig. 23 is an end elevational view of a, reproducing screen adapted to be operated in coaction with the camera of Figs. 17-19 under control of a circuit of the type illustrated in Figs. 2 and 11' for reproducing the movement of objects recorded by the camera of Figs. 17-19,' the view being shown partially in section on line 2323 of Fig. 24; Fig. 24 is an elevational view of the reproducing screen of the optical reproducer shown in Fig. 23; Fig. 25 illustrates the arrangement of light cells employed on the surface of the drum in the image reproducer of Figs. 23 and 24; Fig. 26 is a side elevational view of a modified form of image reproducer or screen device adapted to coact with the camera of Figs.
20-22, the view being shown partially in section substantially on line 2626 of Fig. 27; Fig. 27 is a front elevation of the viewing screen of the image reproducer of Fig. 26; and Fig. 28 shows an arrangement of clustered light cells employed in the image reproducer of Figs. 26 and 27 where provision is made for color reproduction under control of the discriminatory light sensitive cell arrangement of Fig. 22 employed in the coacting camera of Figs. 20 and 21.
Referring to the drawings in detail, Fig. 1 schematically represents one bank of photoelectric cells disposed in a section of the wall or ceiling of the camera portion of the apparatus for viewing the animate objects on the stage. The photoelectric cell bank has been represented as comprising photoelectric cells I, I, I" and I' connected through a source of potential indicated by circuit 2 to control a irequency'selector 3. The frequency selector 3 may be of various types such as. for example, as set forth in Soller Patents 2.184.321 of December 6, 1939 and 2,210,010 of August 6. 1940.. A suitable amplifier may be interposed between the frequency selector 3 and the camera comprising the banks of photoelectric cells as indicated generally at I, I, I" and I'. The multiple frequencies supplied to the multiple frequency selector 3 are generated by any suitable type of multiple frequency generator which I have indicated at 5 and which may be of the type shown for example in Patent 1,477,271 of December 11, 1923 to Lowenstein. The selected frequencies individual to one or more of the photoelectric cells are amplifiedby a suitable amplifier indicated generally at 6 and supplied to the recorder shown generally at 1. The recorder comprises a standard record device indicated at 8 suitably driven by a motor over which a dual recording head 9-) is suitablyv driven by feed screw mechanism shown generally at II. The recording head 9 is connected to the output of amplifier 6 leading from the visual recording circuit producing a groove I2 in record 8 corresponding to frequencies which are characteristic of lights and shadows cast by the object on photoelectric cells, I, I, I", I', etc. The adjacent recording head I0 is connected to a microphone circuit indicated generally at I4 located adjacent the artist performing within the rangeof the several banks of photoelectric cells. The microphone circuit II connects through suitable source IS with the input circuit of amplifier I6, the output circuit of which is connected to the second recording head In simultaneously driven with the first recording head 8. The recording head In produces a groove I1 in record 8 adjacent to groove I 2 in record 8. Thus various frequencies are recorded on the standard sound disc in accordance with lights and shadows cast upon the bank of photoelectric cells and in accordance with the sounds originated by the performers before the bank of photoelectric cells.. The record 8 provides a composite record of both the optical efl'ects produced by the artist and the sound effects produced by the artist. Fig. 1 is merely an elementary diagram of a restricted number of photo electric cells and a microphone circuit and it will be realized that in carrying out my invention I employ many additional photoelectric cell circuits and additional microphone circuits in order to obtain third dimensional picture effects of the objects as will be pointed out in more detail hereinafter.
In Fig. 2 I have shown schematically the manner of reproducing the optical and sound images of the objects corresponding to the frequencies recorded on the record 8. The record 8 is transferred to the record driving table I8 constituting a transcription machine. The transcription machine includes a pair of reproducing heads I9 and 20 mounted on the same movable arm indicated at 2|. The reproducing heads I9 and 20 each include a stylus operative in record grooves I2 and I1. Record groove" carries the sound record corresponding to the sound produced by the artist and operates the stylus on recording head 20 which is connected in the input circuit of amplifier 22, the output circuit of which connects to sound reproducer 23 for the reproduction of sound corresponding to the sound emanating from the performing artist. The reproducing head I9 connects through wires 24 to the input circuit of amplifier 25, the output circuit of which connects to a frequency selector 2B of suitable type such as the frequency selector oi Soller Patent 2,184,321. The frequency selector connects to the input circuit of amplifier 21, the
output circuit of which connects through con-- ductors 28 with the viewing screen 29. The viewmg screen 29 contains banks of glow discharge tubes arranged in corresponding physical positriniiiriilii tions and in corresponding proportions to the individual photoelectric cells I, I", l'". etc. in the recorder. The viewing screen 29 may be either inthe form of a flat surface, a drum-light surface or a cylindrical surface as will be hereinafter described in more detail. The eye of the observer is indicated generally at 39 inFig. 2 and in this arrangement a cylindrical type viewing screen is employed. This cylindrical type viewing screen is rotated synchronously with the movement of the banks of photoelectric cells at the recorder as is shown more clearly in Figs. 3 and 4.
In Fig. 3 I have shown a typical form of stage upon which the artists perform, The stage comprises a circular platform indicated at 3| around which there is mounted for rotation on circular rails 32 and 33, an annular support 34 which carries the several vertically disposed walls 35, 36, 31, 38, 39 and 40 containing banks of photo electric cells. It will be seen that the vertically extending walls extend diametrically opposite each other vwith the performing artists locatedtherebetween. In walls 31, 38 and 39, in addition to the photoelectric cells there are light sources which are directed toward photoelectric cells in walls 40, 35 and 36 respectively. Thus the photoelectric cells in the-areas 45 in both the ceiling structure 4| and floor structure 3| are actuated by reflected light from the moving object simultaneously with the actual obstruction of light offered by the'object in the path extending .between the light source in area 44 in ceiling structure 4| and the photoelectric cell in area 44 in the floor structure 3|,
In Fig. 6 I have shown the manner in which the walls are divided into mounting means for photoelectric cells and light sources, In walls 31, 38 and 39 areas 46 each contain light sources, whereas adjacent areas 41 contain photoelectric or light sensitive cells. On the diametrically opposite coacting walls 40, 35 and 36 photoelectric or light sensitive cells are contained in the areas 46 as well as in the areas 41. The light source in areas 46 in one wall thus are directly focused upon the photoelectric or-light sensitive cells in performing artists serve to optically obstruct the paths between the light sources in walls 31, 38 and 39 and the photoelectric cells in walls 40, 35 and 36 respectively. Walls 31, 38 and 39 contain photoelectric cells in addition to the light sources therein. Moreover the ceiling structure 4| contains banks of light sources and photoelectric cells directed toward stage 3|. Stage 3| contains banks of photoelectric cells. The light sources in ceiling structure 4| are directed toward the photoelectric cells in stage 3|. artists indicated generally at 42 and 43 cast shadows on multiple banks of photoelectric cells which are so located as to position that in the viewing screen 29 illustrated in Fig. 2, electric discharge tubes similarly located will reproduce the images of the artists. Wherever light sources are employed in combination with photoelectric cells in the same wall structure or ceilin Darticular care is taken to shield the photoelectric cell from the light source in the same surface. Thus as will be pointed out hereinafter, a photoelectric cell in one surface is activated by a light source in an opposite surface and not by a light source which may be located adjacent thereto in the same surface and from which it is effectively shielded. w I
Referring to Fig. 5 the arrangement of the photoelectric cells and light sources in the ceiling structure 4| is illustrated in detail where provision is made for disposing the light sources in the areas 44 while the photoelectric cells or light sensitive cells are disposed adjacent, thereto in the areas 45. In the correspondingly aligned portions of the floor structure 3| the photoelectric cells or light sensitive cells are disposed in each of the areas 44 and 45 and there are no light sources in such areas. Thus it will be understood that a photoelectric, cell in the floor structure 3| is diametrically aligned with a light source in the ceiling structure 4|. A light source in area 44 of the ceiling structure is directed upon a photoelectric cell in area 44 located in the floor structure 3|. While a photoelectric cell in the area 45 in ceiling structure 4| is aligned with a photoelectric cell in area 45 in floor structure 3| and there is no directly aligned light source in this path, each of the Thus the to each of the banks of photoelectric cells. For
the diametrically" opposite areas 46in the coacting wall. While the photoelectric cells in areas 41 in each of the walls do not have directly aligned and opposite light sources in coacting walls, nevertheless such photoelectric cells are activated by reflected light from the movable object.
In Fig. '7 I have shown an elementary diagram illustrating the coaction of the several photoelectric cells and light sources constituting the camera or stage upon which the artists perform.
,The movable object is indicated generally at 48 forming an obstruction insofar as the light source in the areas 44 of ceiling structure 4| is concerned with respect to the photoelectric cells in area 44 of floor structure 3|. The object 48 also has reflective properties with respect to the photoelectric cells in areas 45 of both ceiling structure 4| and floor structure 3|. Wall structures represented generally at 31, 38 and 39 each contain light sources in the areas 46 which are excited from power supply circuit 49. Each light sources 46 are obstructed by object 48 with respect to the photoelectric cells in areas 46 of wall structures 35 and 36 respectively. Power source 49 also excites the light sources in the areas 44 of ceiling structure 4|. The photoelectric or light sensitive cells in the ceiling structure, floor structure and in the wall structures are arranged in banks and may be connected in a variety of ways to control the transmission of impulses which are either recorded or which directly actuate the optical system for reproduction of the images. In Fig. '1 I have illustrated the separate circuits from the variously positioned photoelectric cell banks brought out to connections which may extend to a suitable terminal board enabling the banks to be selectively connected to integrate the effects of the object upon the light sensitive cells for permitting reproduction in similitude therefrom.
In Fig. 8 I have illustrated the banks of photoelectric cells represented at I, l",and |""connected to the control grids of the multi-unit electron tube 50 of a type, for example, as disclosed more particularly in Walter Soller Patents 2,184,321 of December 26, 1939 and 2,210,010 of August 6, 1940 in which a multiplicity of control grids are provided with a control'grid individual purposes of explaining my invention 1 have shown a representative number of such control grids wherein control grid 5| connects to the bank of photoelectric cells represented by reference char acter I; control grid 5| connects to the bank of photoelectric cells represented by reference char-- II' respectively. A screen grid 54 having partition extensions 54' thereon for preventing mutual interference between sets of discharge electrodes is provided in the multi-unit electron tube 50. Suitable potentials are supplied for the control grid circuit from the source of potential represented at 55 and for the screen-grid circuit by the drop in potential across potentiometer 56-51 and for the plate circuit from the drop in potential across the additional potentiometer 58 from power supplied at the positive and negative terminals as illustrated. For the sake of simplicity the heating electrode for cathode 52 has been omitted. Each of the plate circuits contains a source of audio frequency current obtainable from a multi-frequency generator of the'general' type shown in Lowenstein Patent 1,477,271 of December 11, 1923: The generator includes a driving motor 59 having a shaft 60 on which there is mounted the variously shaped magnetic inductors 5, 5', 5" and 5", each of which act on windings 51, 51', 51", 51', etc. Because of the different shapes of the inductors, different audio frequencies are generated in the difierent plate circuits of the multi-unit electron tube 50 which may be selectively'impressed through primary winding 6! of transformer 62 through the secondary winding 63, upon the input circuit of amplifier 5 for controlling the record cutting stylus 9 on the recorder 1 for producing the permanent record groove I 2 in disc record 8.
In Fig. 9 I have shown the type of record which is produced, the wave trace i2 representing the impulses produced by the impulses representing the shape of the image while the parallel groove 11 represents the sound trace produced by the second recording circuit which actuates the engraving tool 10.
In Fig. 10 I have shown in perspective view the dual reproducing head in which the pick-up stylus leading from reproducing head 20 is operated by soimd groove i1 while the image reproducing apparatus is operated by the stylus functioning in reproducing head [9 operating in wave trace i2.
In Fig. 11 I have shown in more detail the image reproducing system in which the stylus in the reproducing head I9 is operated from wave trace [2 in record 8 controlling the input to the amplifier 25 through circuit 24. Inasmuch as all of the frequencies represented by the generated frequencies incident upon the recording circuit may be present in the output system of the amplifier 25, it is necessary to provide frequency ting or selecting apparatus 26 which will operate optical devices responsive to selected frequency representing shapes of the original object. For this purpose I anploy any suitable type of frequency selector such as, for example, the frequency selector of Soller Patent 2,184,321 represented generally at 26. The input system to the frequency selector comprises input transformer 65 having primary winding 65 and tuned selective secondary circuits 56, 66', 66", 66", etc. These secondary circuits are tuned by condensers G1, 61', 61", 61", etc. to be highly selective of frequency representing shapes of the object.
The frequency selective circuits connect to control grids 68, 68', 68", 88", etc. of the multiunit electron tube of the type shown. for example, in Soller Patents 2,184,321 and 2,210,010. The multi-unit electron tube 26 includes suitable cathode 69 and sets of plate electrodes 10, 10', 10f and 10' individual to each of the control circuits 68, 68', 88" and 68" respectively. A suitable screen electrode 1| is provided with partition 1i thereon for preventing mutual interference between the various sections of the tube. Suitable potentials are supplied to the control grid circuitsfrom the source of potential indicated at 12, to the screen circuit from suitable potentiometer 33 and to the plate circuits from additional potentiometer 14 from source of potential indicated by the positive and negative symbols. For the sake of simplicity the heating electrode for cathode 69 has been omitted. The plate circuits connected to the plate electrodes of the frequency discriminating system each connect to tuned circuits containing the primary winding of frequency selective coupling transformers. For example, I have shown tunedprimary winding 15 connected to plate electrode 10, tuned primary winding 15' connected to plate electrode 10", tuned primary winding 15" connected to plate electrode 10", and tuned primary winding 15' connected to plate electrode 10", etc. The primary windings are tuned by condensers 16, 16', 16" and 16" respectively. The secondary windings of each of the frequency diseliminating transformers are represented at 11, 11', 11" and 11" respectively. These secondary windings connect to the optical means on the viewing screen 29. Ihave represented the optical elements as comprising gaseous discharge tubes such as neon tubes which in the screen assembly are substantially in the shape of cubes 0! shaped envelopes which may be compactly assembled to form the optical system. I have represented the gaseous discharge tubes at 18, 18', 18" and 18", etc.
In Fig. 12 I have shown one form of the optical reproducing system of my invention constituting the view screen designated generally at 29. w The viewing screen consists of a cylindrical casing of transparent material represented at 19 such as glass or unbreakable transparent plastic. The lower edge of the skirt 80 of the cyport 8! shown more clearly in Fig. 13 which is in turn supported on an annular beveled rack indicated at 82. The beveled rack 82 is supported by beveled gears 83 distributed in suitable positions around the lower portion of the base of the cylinder 18 supported in suitable journals indicated in Figs. 14 and 15 at 84. One of the gears 83 may be driven from motor 85 through a suitable gear assembly represented at 86 for driving cylinder 19 at the required rotational speed in synchronism with the rotation of the vertically disposed walls 35, 36, 31, 38, 39 and 40 of the stage shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The transparent cylinder 19 provides a support for a honeycomb arrangement of gaseous discharge tubes 18, 18', 18", 1 etc.
. shown more particularly in Figs. 14 and 15. The
,tion is established M and in wall structures 35, 38, 31, 38, 39 and 40 of the stage in Figs. 3 and 4. The electrical circuits from the gaseous discharge tubes are brought out to commutator rings 88, 88', 88", 88" and 89 carried by insulated plate 90 as illustrated in Fig. 13. The circuits carrying the activated frequencies indicated at f f f I, each connect to brushes 9|, 9|, 9I",'9I"' and 92 as indicated establishing connection with the movable segments 88. 88', 88", 88' and 89 respectively. Similar contact arrangements are provided for the other optical reproducing elements in the optical system. In order to reproduce the sound in a position directly adjacent the viewing screen I arrange the sound reproducers heretofore illustrated at 23 in Fig. 2, at 23, 23', 23", etc. at a slight incline in the base 93 of the apparatus as illustrated generally in Figs. 12 and 13. Several loud speakers have been illustrated for the purpose of more evenly distributing the received sound and for the purpose of more faithfully reproducing the sound where the different loud speakers may be more efiicient over different ranges of the reproduced frequency spectrum.
In Fig. 16 I have shown an arrangement of luminous discharge tube system divided into independent but compactly associated sections 81, B1 and 81" each of which contain characteristically discriminating gases for reproducing discharges in different colors. Cells of this kind may be employed within the cylinder I9 and selectively arranged in banks to be activated by color discriminatory photoelectric cells arranged in the circuits of the camera of Figs. 3 and 4 for reproducing the images in color. The color reproducing arrangements of my invention will be more fully explained in connection with the forms of my invention illustrated in Figs. 17-28.
In Figs. 17-19 I have shown a modified form of camera which may be employed in lieu of the stage of Figs. 3 and 4 for recording or instantaneously transmitting impulses corresponding to the movements of objects or still scenes. Reference character 94 indicates a drum which is carried by a shaft 95 journaled in suitable bearings 96. The cylinder surface of the drum carries a multiplicity of photoelectric cells arranged, for example, as in Fig. 19 in compact relation one with respect to another and designated at 91, 91', 91". These cells may be arranged in clusters and be prepared so as to be discriminatory with respect to color, for example, photoelectric cell Bl may be sensitive to blue, photoelectric cell 91 sensitive to yellow and photoelectric cell 91" sensitive to red. The compact arrangement of cells on the surface of cylinder 94 have electrical connections extending through collector rings carried on one end of the drum represented generally at 91', 911', 911", etc. Selective connecwith the collector rings through contact members formed by individual brushes supported in suitable mounting means indicated generally at 98 from which conductors extend through conduit 99 to the recording equipment .or directly to the image reproducing apparatus. The drum 94 is rotated by suitable.
generally at I04 in Fig. 18 for activating the several photoelectric cells from which circuits are carried through conductors in conduit 91 to the recording or reproducing apparatus.
The image reproducing apparatus which coacts with the drum system of Figs. 17-19 is shown in Figs. 23-25 wherein a drum I05 is journaled in suitable bearings I08 and is driven synchronously with the movement of drum 94 to the recorder. A'conduit I01 encloses conductors leading from the frequency selective system .of suitable type such as illustrated in Fig. 11, to brushes which establish connection with the ring members I08, I08, I08", etc. which are connected selectively to banks of gaseous discharge tubes arranged on the surface of the drum I05 in the arrangement shown in Fig. 25 at I09, I09, 509", etc. These gaseous discharge tubes are provided with different gaseous fillers by which gaseous discharge of different color corresponding to the discriminating photo-electric cells illustrated in Fig. 19 is obtained. The integrated reproduced image is ,viewed on translucent screen H0 supported by frame II I which houses the image reproducing apparatus.
I may also provide in lieu of the stage recording apparatus of Figs. 3 and 4, and image reproducing apparatus used in conjunction therewith, the arrangement illustrated in Figs. 21-22 and Figs. 26-28. In Fig. 20 I have illustrated a I disc-like carrier I I2 on which there is mounted clusters of light sensitive or photoelectric cells in an arrangement such as illustrated in Fig. 22.
Photoelectric cells H4, H4 and H4,are discriminatory as to color such as blue, yellow and reproduced is focused through lens H8 suitably mounted in casing H9 upon the photoelectric cells within the area I20 on disc carrier H2 as shown more clearly in Fig. 21. The rear of disc H2 carries suitable distributor rings I2I connected to the banks of photoelectric cells. Connection to the distributor rings is established through brushes I22 connected through conductors which extend through-conduit I23 to the recording or reproducing equipment. At the reproducing end of the system a similar disc I24 is mounted for rotary movement under control of shaft I25 synchronously driven through suitable gear system I26 operated by motor I21. Conductors leading from the frequency disciminating circuits of a system such as illustrated in Fig. 11 extend through conduit I28 terminating in brushes mounted in suitable carrier I29 establishing connection with ring members I30 carried on the rear of disc I24. Disc I24 is provided with a system of gaseous discharge tubes such as illustrated in Fig. 28 constituted by clusters of diiferently colored tubes indicated at I3I, I3I and I3I" as shown. The compactly arranged gaseous discharge tubes on the surface of disc I24 may be viewed through cells in the camera or stage.
screen I3I arranged in frame I32 constituting the enclosure for the image reproducing apparatus.
In all of the embodiments of my invention the gaseous discharge tubes at the viewing screen are arranged in positions directly related and proportioned to the locations of the photoelectric The variable illuminosity produced by the glow discharge devices at the viewing screen simulate the object as viewed by the photoelectric cells at the camera or stage. The circuits of my invention have quick response and minimum electrical inertia so that movements of the object being viewed are instantaneously converted into electrical impulses which can be recorded or utilized to directly excite the viewing screen. i

Product description
The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living. This volume follows our band of survivors as they set up a permanent camp inside a prison. Relationships change, characters die, and our team of survivors learn there's something far more deadly than zombies out there: each other. It is a reprint edition.

Sex. That is the name of today's theme. Creed, colour, gender, age are all explored as everyone is at it like rabbits. It might seem a little gratuitous at first but in an end of the world situation it is quite understandable. It's what people did before television and when you aren't running for your life then you need something to take your mind of the impending oblivion.
In addition to sex the secondary theme is policing your own. What happens when your fellow survivors start to cross lines? Can you really afford to start shooting the living in the head when it's all hands on deck? What sins can you forgive and is the end of the world a clean slate for the mistakes of your youth.
Once again it's all about the talking but there are a few good expressions that say more than words so the art isn't always playing second fiddle. There was one outstanding use of speech bubbles so Kirkman is innovating in all directions. This is a very mature work with a lot to think about and a huge body count. There is a great cliff hanger too. Once again this continues to be a strong Thumbs Up!
By Aleksander 22 Dec 2011
I'd like to say that this comic book literally sucked me into reading again like vortex sucks all around it with it's power.
My first order here was TWD v. 1-3 and i love this comics. I know that in 9/10 books are better than comics and that for sure is right in this case. I'm very picky about reading and before this i didn't read a lot but this one blew me away. It starts slow but when you step into you can't get out. Story is fantastic, there's many twists, character development is great as action is and there's also some background story. You simply can't miss with this one. For me it's only comic book which i read, beside manga. But i know that it's worth of every money and time!
About this volume - i can say just that it's action packed, with twist and great story like all other are and it's the beginning for great events to come. I won't say too much, but if you'll read it you'll see.

JM near Black Walnut Trees
Hi, I am new to Maples, I usually hang out at Cottage Garden and Winter Sowing. I have several Black Walnut trees on my property. I also have some maples but not in close proximity to the walnuts. I would like to incorporate several JM in an area close to the walnuts. Does anyone have any success stories to share? Thanks for your advice.
Most maple species are resistant to the allelopathic effects of black walnuts, Japanese maples included. I would still have concerns about planting these trees where they would encounter a lot of root competition from the walnuts - the competition will slow establishment and there's a risk of the walnuts hogging all the soil moisture and nutrients. I'd provide additional attention to both watering and mulching to supply nutrients.
I don't think there will be that much root competition with a walnut. I have over 500 hostas under a canopy of mainly walnut trees and they do fine. I chose the BW due to the fact that they are taprooted trees and don't have very many surface roots.
Do a google search for more information or call your local forestry office.
Whether or not a tree develops a so-called tap root has little bearing on the appearance and location of the rest of the root system. All trees will concentrate the bulk of their roots very close to the soil surface, typically within the top 12-18", with most of the very fine and dense feeder roots directly below the soil surface. That's where the oxygen, soil moisture and nutrients are located and so that's where the roots predominate. Any forestry or arboriculture resource will confirm this.
It is one thing to establish smaller growing, very shallowly rooted perennials like hostas under the canopy of any large tree -- it is quite another to plant another tree or large shrub. The root systems will compete and the larger one usually wins unless special care is provided for the smaller species until it is well-established. Often this need for additional attention will persist, especially with drought intolerant species like Japanese maples.
Which side of the walnuts are you fixing to plant the maples on?
My theory is the south side of a row of walnuts will have more sun than the north side. Think about the old moss on the north side of the tree trunk thing.
Black Walnuts in my yard get their leaves late and dump them early.
