Recently, I took a field trip to Hanoi where I had an opportunity to explore many interesting things. In my experience, the most amazing way to discover Hanoi's unique culture is not to visit its museums or move around its streets or drop by its famous pagodas, but take a cup of egg-coffee in an old house that proves to be a perfect introduction to the capital.

I had dream of having a threesome but never became a realityI hope one day it can make come through
, Foursome or Moresome, I

Bi-Curious Women For Couples
Hot mid 20s Couple looking for a hot female in Anderson SC to join my husband and I for a very hot threesome! Well worth your time!
Men Fucking Men While Women Watch
We love doing this when we have a threesome with another bi man. She loves to watch us fuck each other bareback and shoot our cum in each other. Sometimes, instead of watching, the guy being fucked will be licking her pussy and clit giving her orgasms.
F-M-F Threesome
Looking for a female interested in a threesome with my husband and me. We are new at this but real;y want to try it. We are a clean cut, discreet SC couple looking for 1st time action. I want to eat pussy and be eat while he fucks,sucks and rolls around in the middle.
Pregnancy Risk Play
My 52 year old bi GF and her bi GF were and are upscale and bored and so, long story short, I pumped a baby grrl into my 52 year old GF. They moved to FL and so I am looking for more of the same. Looking for another MFF threesome with more of the same.
Both Bi Couples Only
I only wish I could meet a BI female as a GF become a solid couple and then meet up with other BI couples for great sex. Ive done the MMF a few times, Who ever said threes a crowd never had a threesome!!! OMG the best!! Id like to be sucking off the man while looking over at my girl with her face buried between another woman's legs!! xoxo
Lesbian Need To Try Men For 1st Time
My first threesome was with an bisexual couple, both women. They weren't really lesbian, although they would sleep together occasionally, and each would hook up with men, too.
I got to know one of them pretty well, we had hooked up a couple of times through work. We worked different places, but got together after work a few times. We liked each other's personalities, and at the time I was a thin, strong pro athlete and sought after by lots of women (not bragging, but aware of it by reflection some now 30 years later). She was great sexually, and I learned a few things from her - I was still young and wild then, as you might guess.
After a party one night, she asked me to stay, which was not unusual. But when we locked the doors and moved into her bedroom, her friend was already there waiting for the both of us. I learned a lot that night about pleasing women, lessons that I took to heart and continue to apply to this day. We shared ourselves sexually several more times, but soon we all drifted away from each other and that was that.
I would love to find another couple of women who would like to teach me a few new things.
with two women focused on each other and finding ways to include me (that is, I was not the center of attention) was extraordinarily freeing. What I would give to experience that again.
We are a married, secure couple who would like to have a string-free threesome
We are a fun spirited couple that likes to play. We are looking to watch others, and maybe a threesome with another woman.
I am a very considerate and passionate, fun loving bi-threesome partner. Extremely clean and desire the same

Easy going professional male who would like to enjoy the company of a single bi-sexual male or a couple where the man is bi-sexual. I've experienced a threesome with a bisexual male who enjoyed oral sex and also was a top. We had a great time but would also like to explore the possibility of meeting someone who enjoys oral sex and being a bottom. I'm not out to pressure anyone into doing anything they're not comfortable with....but also don't have alot of time meet people who only think they might be interested. Please drop me a note if anything you've read so far peaks your interest and we'll go from there.....Thanks!
We are both active and in good shape. We love most things outdoors, including the beach, bicycling, sailing, hanging out by the pool.... We are very in love and have recently decided to open up our relationship for each of us to have the freedom to enjoy others as well. We are both new at this and do not have a lot of experience. He is interested in chatting with guys, seeing if there is a connection, and if so it would be nice to explore his bisexual interest. She loves to chat and flirt with guys. When the connection is right we would meet and see where things go. We are both interested in trying a threesome.
I am 5' 4" and I weight 115 pounds. I have red/blond hair (it tends to change),I am a widow who has been put through it by my ex boyfriend who I gave everything I had to give and received nothing I asked for in return (he was wonderful in the beginning). I am curious,always have been turned on by women and I want to explore that side of myself. I am not looking to be involved in aserious relationship any time soon.I would like to have fun,I am a very sexual person (I have spent alot of time with my toys). I am really looking for someone to be friends with,hang out,and if it goes there,then we can have (discreet ) fun when we feel the urge to do so. I have had fantasies about a FMF threesome for many years,I would really like to make some of my fantasies come true and have a good time. I also enjoy role playing .
***Currently looking ONLY for Couples and women. Thanks ! Happily married bisexual woman/man. Both are looking to meet bi couples and women, selective bi men. We are totally in love with one another and likes to meet other bi couples, bi women and selective bi men who are confidence in themselves. We are avid nudists and love to be naked as much as possible.
nude parties, bbq, camps, orgies, foursome, threesome, resorts, hot tubs. Note: playing the straight card..If there are couples whereas the women are (bi) playing only and the men are not (straight or acting straight) that is fine as well. Lets have the women have their fun. We normally do not respond to interests without photos. This is electronic age, photos are easily obtainable-camera, most phones has cameras, etc Thanks.
I can see the advantages to making it a threesome. I 've had mine, however, I will say that there are less distractions when things are kept one-on-one, unless you can control the overwhelming eroticism of a threesome. My choice is generally a threesome, but sometimes I enjoy a quick one on one.
Mr. Shivering
Our question is what exactly is the difference between a MFF threesome and a FMF threesome? What is the difference between a MMF threesome and a MFM threesome?
Our suggestion is if there is a difference, then put these terms in the glossary section and explain there how they are different!
Thanks! No more suggestion posts tonight, we promise! LOL
John & Noel
My first threesome was a month ago with a coworker. I told her I was teased by a guy I thought would be coming over. I was horny and said I want some I wanted every hole filled. She said come on over for a threesome. I didn't believe but I went over. We watched a movie and talked then I left. She texted me saying what about our threesome
They came over. She and I thoroughly enjoyed each other, he however, we could have done with out. He was a pig about it and got mad because we did enjoy each other.
That is when I also discovered that I enjoy eating pussy. I am craving more but my coworker will only do it in a threesome. I don't mind threesomes but want just pussy to see how much I really like.

. We are looking for one male and one female to have a threesome with. Pictures avaliable upon request. Initial meeting required.
Being the female in the MMF
, I wanted to let you know that it is awesome.
There is some maneuvering to it, there has to be extra lubrication and both your men have to be able to work together to get a rhythm that is pleasurable for everyone.
Once everyone is in sync, the orgasms just keep rolling. It was a very tight fit for the two of them and it only added to their pleasure. I would recommend it for any MMF
Me and my girl are looking to try our first threesome we wonna do a m f f threesome
Me and my boyfriend are looking for a bifemale to have a threesome with us. I've never done a threesome before and I really want to try it.
My husband and I have run into that problem in the past. I think it can be somewhat intimidating for women to just walk in and have sex with a couple. Movies make it out like threesomes will destroy the relationship or people have them because they're having relationship problems. Thanks to pro-monogomists who have never tried an alternative lifestyle, people get the ridiculous idea that this type of sexual experience is automatically destructive.
Sometimes it's easier to find a couple who wants the same thing so that the two women can have a threesome with you and then next time have a threesome with the other guy. A threesome swap sort of thing. I guess the big question is, could the two men in that situation handle that? Some can, some can't.
A couple of years ago i ran across a guide to set up a threesome. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for. We are looking for a "manual" for how to on a threesome or foursome. Can anyone help.
Myself and my wife are looking for a female between 30-40 years old for our first threesome experience. Anyone out there interested, gimme a shout. We are up for anything but would like the threesome experience first.

Kohler Bellwether vs. Mirabelle Edenton
We are looking for a sub $800 60x30 alcove tub and have, for now, narrowed it down to the Kohler Bellwether (cast iron) and the Mirabelle Edenton (acrylic). Pricing is similar. The tub will function as both a bathtub for future kids and shower in a small bathroom in a small house. I've seen an Edenton drop-in in person but not the apron front that we'd be getting. I have only seen pictures of the Bellwether. From pictures, wife and I like the Edenton's lines better as the Bellwether has some rounded edges that don't appeal to us as much, at least in pictures. I prefer cast iron. Wife says that acrylic holds heat better. Which would you choose? Is there a quality difference?
Thanks for your help.
Updated version of Bellweather is a standard size and drain configuration. The original Bellweather has a 11 or 12" distance from wall, or tile flange, to the drain center. This required a long tub spout to reach. The new "standard" version has 8.5" distance which is comparable to the Villager and Memoirs. So they straightened the front it sounds like. I don't know about the back slope. I talked to the Kohler company today and they said this new model just came out this year.
Writersblock, I liked it too because of the simple lines, but not that wacky sloped front. I am now planning to get this updated version instead of the Memoirs. I always liked the size of the Villager but not the chevron on the side nor the shape of the bowl. I am quite happy that I found out about this Bellwether update. I have a small bath that I am just starting the remodel.
I think that although cast iron "holds" heat better, it also sucks up the heat from the first hot water that goes into it. So it depends on how much hot water you have available, how much the tub takes, and how long you like to soak. I have an acrylic tub and it stays hot longer than I can stay in it!
I just installed the bellweather about 2 months ago. I absolutely hate it! I would much rather have had the villager for almost half the price. The bellweather feels so tiny and forced me to get a cable drain when I wanted and ordered the slotted gerber drain. Uhhhh... I cannot express how much I really hate this tub. I would never replace it for acrylic, but there are much better options out there for a cast iron tub!!
I have the Edenton, but in an air bath. If you'd like to see pictures, use the link below. It's nice and has far larger interior dimensions that other tubs in its class (at least those that are air baths), and it doesn't have a hideous apron like most.
Here is a link that might be useful: Edenton in remodel
Twn85, is your Bellwether the old style k-876, or the new model k-836. Kohler states this new model "is now available in a popular, industry-standard size". I think the issues I've heard complained about have been solved. So I am curious as to which model you have. The dimension of the k-836 is 60"x30", while the interior is very long, 48-3/4" x 19-5/16", (it's not as deep as the original Bellwether though). I am thinking that they got the length because there is less ledge in the front and back, and the front is now perpendicular to the bottom. This is longer than the Memoirs & Villager at 45". The old Bellwether k-867 is only 41-1/4" long:(
New model 837 with views of the front and the back:
Old model 867:
This new Bellwether has the same exterior dimensions as my 40's or 50's era Kohler cast iron tub. And the price for this in white can be found for $455.12 at Faucet Direct. Shipping $160. I haven't compared pricing yet.
Twn85, can you find out for me which one you have? :)
You could measure the bottom lengths. The old one is 41-1/4 inches in the bottom length. The new one is (they say) 48-3/4inches long at the bottom.
I would love it if you could check for me, cause I am really considering getting the new model in the next few days.
Thanks for taking the measurement Twn85, sounds like you have the original model. I think the Bellwether is very nice looking but I can see that the original is an inconvenient bathing size.
I will almost certainly get the revised Bellwether. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
We are opting for the Edenton because:
(1) it is 22 inches deep -- 8 inches deeper than the Kohler.
(2) it does not have the sandpaper bottom slip resistant stuff that can't be cleaned that the Kohler has stuck to the bottom.
In my remodel I also want to use the Edenton. I love the squareness of it. My only reservation is the height climbing in and out. I will have the tub/shower combo 60x30 alcove. I plan to have grab bars. Do you think I will regret this in 20 yrs? We are 61. This is our only full bath.
Hydro System Sydney looks just like it. More $.
any opinions??
I have a couple additional pictures that may help, but I took them with my phone, I think, so the quality is pretty poor.
I was thinking about Hydrosystems, too (the Lacey), but I just couldn't justify the price given that I wouldn't use the tub that often and the amount I was spending on the rest of the finishes I would actually be using on a daily basis.
I bought the NEW Bellwether yesterday and it should be delivered in a week or so. I ordered it on line. I got simple white. The tub is a bit on the shorter side at 14" with water depth at 9". Otherwise 60"x30.24". But the tub is over 48" long inside. Longer than all the other 60" Kolher tub specs that I've seen. And as wide as my current tub which has been fine for 60+ years. Great height for kids, me, and getting dogs in and out of. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Grab bars going in on the walls with this remodel too. No shower.
I just stumbled onto this thread a bit late. I just ordered and had it delivered same day (Mirabelle Edenton) My contractor needed it today. Lowes and HD only had standard oval tubs. I wanted something white with square lines which are more contemporary. I stumbled upon the bellweather and my supplier had it in stock along with the edenton. I felt the Edenton had slightly nicer lines and it's a much deeper tub. If an adult or child decides to soak, it will be more functional. It arrived, looks ok, but the white is more dull than the ones in this picture. could be the lighting. I'll post a pic once installed.
Used this thread to help guide my decisions for purchasing the tubs for a renovation I'm currently working on. Have small bathrooms in an old NY brownstone and I wanted to find some nice tubs that would fit in a 30 X 60 space. Going to install Bellwethers in a couple bathrooms and a Mirabelle Edenton in my bathroom, all as combination shower / tub. The first two should be in on Tuesday. Will send pictures of the installation as it comes together if anyone's interested.
Here is my Bellwether. It is the new version that came out this year as mentioned above I believe. It is 30x60 and very plain. I like the plain-ness. The plumber installed for me. As soon as it was set in place he stepped in and said "this is good for safety, the sides don't slope". Meaning that if the sides angled to the bottom, people would step on the slope potentially, and slide on into the tub - dangerously. I don't know what tub might be designed like that but good info to know.
Anyway here is my tub, but you can't see it very well. But its in, and its about time I got around to this. As you can see I'm busy putting in tile too:

what caused this
I noticed that my peace lilly has a yellow leaf n a few spots on the other ones. I've had it since mother's day this year. The only thing I can think of is I took it to the shower for a spray down. I water it with tap water left out for a week.
idk about overwatering for the peace lily. they seem to like it pretty wet, I just moved mine in to a "semi-hydro" situation to ensure it doesn't dry out. what do you have it potted in? it looks like a lot of perlite? does the pot have a drainage hole? what are your watering habits? how many other leaves have spots? could just be shedding an old leaf and mechanical type scarring on others?
Welp, it was over watered. I took it out of the pot and sheesh, it was soaked! not damp but soaked.
I have never watered in the shower, just a few cups at a time n misting it. A few days later now and its droopy, but the soil is not dry. i took all that wet stuff out and mixed it with dry soil and added perlite with some orchid mix.
The smaller ones I have are doing great in the orchid mix with perlite and a little bit of potting soil.
So it seems like the dry stuff mixed with the wet has soaked up alot of the water that was in it before. Does a peace Lilly usually droop after a re potting?
another bigger, older leaf has a few spots. Kinda like a burn spot with the yellow outlining it. But very small and not spreading. Well the one in the pic.
The pot had alot of drainage holes.
i have a water meter that i use every time. Except that one time in the shower obviously. I was spraying under the leaves in particular.
So far no more yellowing leaves.
Peace lilies really like to be moist, but all plants need to have air around their roots too, so if they are kept in a flood they do poorly. Bog plants have the means to do it, but PL isn't one of them. Orchid mix might be a bit coarse for PL, but it is better than soaked peat. I think you are moving in the right direction. PL's do wilt after a total repot, but it should perk up after a while. I am not sure about the brown spots and their specific cause. I always try to get the well drained soils right, and then the plant will grow out of the spots. (This is if I don't really see a specific causal agent for them, like too much sun. It doesn't look like sunburn though.) Have you ever looked up container soils on the container forum?
Here is a link that might be useful: Container Soils-Water Movement and Retention
Molliebee, hi & welcome to Gardenweb!
Overwatering is really a misnomer, the problem is with the soil holding onto too much excess moisture, and no tiny air pockets for roots to breathe. I think it should have been called underdrying all along. But anyway, when one uses a porous, chunky, airy soil, pot size is irrelevant, and overwatering/underdrying should become a thing of the past.
The info here could help explain also.

Is this bad? I bought the True Brew Gold Kit 2 stage fermentation and it seems pretty solid. I got a true brew california common (steam beer) 5 gallon ingredients kid to go along with it and a 19 qt granite ware pot. Now for some reason when I was reading the directions that came with the True Brew Gold Kit, they were only directions for single stage fermentation. I have been looking all over the internet but i havent found any simple ways of adding the the second fermentation step in easily. The guy at the store new it was my first time brewing and he said that it was fine to do a 2 stage fermentation, but when I am going the directions they only direct you for single fermentation... Can anyone help by giving me a list of directions, beginning to end? That would be so awesome. I am really excited to get brewing but I know I have to wait because I am confused with the whole process.
Denny Conn - The best beer possible with the least effort possible while having the most fun possible!
Me - "Gun Control Means Using Both Hands."
Single stage fermentation is all I do. I even dry hop in primary.
Don't sweat it. Single stage fermentation is all you need. 3-4 weeks with some decent temp control will be all you need. Some people rack to a secondary but its not always necessary. Good luck and happy brewing
"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."
-Frank Zappa
Over simplified instructions.
1)make the beer/wort
2)add the beer/wort to primary fermentor
Optional step)move the beer to secondary fermenter once fermentation is complete
3)move the beer to bottling bucket once primary fermentation and conditioning are complete(don't forget your priming sugar/carbonation fuel)
5)allow beer time to carbonate and bottle condition
6)drink beer and realize your beer is the best you have ever tasted and spend a years pay buying the equipment to make more beer than you could ever drink
Ok you guys are awesome, I just have one more question because I am going to brew tonight. The kit came with a 5 gallon plastic container and a 5 gallon glass carboy.. so after I make the brew/wort, should I let it ferment in the plastic container then after it ferments switch it to the glass then swutch back to plastic for bottling? Sorry I'm just confused at this part... I know I make the wort first but when i have one plastic jug and one glass carboy, which should be used for first and second fermenting, and bottling? Also , when do you go from first fermenter to second? At what point? Bubbling? Thanks again
I.e. most important question is glass or plastic for second and 1st fermentation container..
Yes you are over worrying. No, you really shouldn't secondary in the bottling bucket as it has too much open top to introduce air and sometimes the spigot leaks or gets bumped and you lose beer.
Many of us skip the secondary altogether and just leave the beer in the primary for a longer period. Since our beers clear this way I don't see any reason your won't too.
You really want to minimize the amount of transfers from one container to another as each time you can introduce air and there is more chances of contamination too.

Morning Sun Wish List
If you want to support MorningSun with specific items, you can visit our Wish List.
An Introduction to MorningSun
We are so grateful for the permanent home of MorningSun, 240 acres of beautiful land in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. Granite boulders rising out of hills and shallow valleys. Streams meandering through birch, maple and beech forest. Small lakes housing turtles, fish, beavers, frogs and dozens of other species. Rose quartz, feldspar and mica sparkling in the sunlight. Ospreys and herons soaring overhead. The sound of wind and birdsong rising and falling with the inhale and exhale of the living organism that is our new home.
MorningSun was founded as a response to the many challenges of modern society. Consumerism, climate change, faltering economy and education systems, and violence in its many forms (domestic, sexual, racial prejudice, terrorism and war) – all the imbalances and life-denying priorities that seem to characterize mass society. These issues can be overwhelming. They can seem insurmountable. They can cause us much stress, suffering and despair. However, with a stable foundation of peace and clarity in our minds, hearts and bodies, and the strength of togetherness and community, we are able to understand more deeply and find new and skillful responses that can help us to transform.
Through our shared practice of meditation and mindfulness practices for all moments and situations of daily life, we strive to be a resource for people working to create a better world by sharing practices that can create peace and harmony, and develop vital and thriving relationships between individuals, organizations and the Earth.
Through an active and caring relationship to people, animals, plants and soils in the region, we are examining our actual needs and comforts, and changing our patterns of consumption, in order to develop sustainable and even regenerative livelihoods and lifestyles.
All of this comes together in the unique programming that MorningSun provides bringing a spiritual dimension to the work of developing a sustainable culture for people of all ages.
We do not believe we have all the answers. Rather, we aim to be constantly learning and developing new practices that better meet the needs of our world. We hope that through experimenting with ways of living and practicing together, we will be able to contribute toward the creation of a peaceful, just and ecologically balanced world.
Our community is small and rural, located in southwest New Hampshire. While we live in a beautiful place, we are not removed from the suffering of the world. We can see that the roots of all of society's problems exist as seeds within each of us and that any community will have to face them. We aspire to use our community life as a laboratory to experiment and develop new practices in creating and maintaining dynamic harmony.
Our community's strength and happiness come from a simple, mindful life of shared practice. Time in nature. Our relationships with one another. And our determination to steadily grow our awareness of all that connects us, rather than that which might divide us. We aspire to use our practice to take care of our relationships and learn from the inevitable conflicts that are part of being in relationship.
Our intention is to invite all who wish to experience a different way of being to come and practice with us, whether that is for a day of mindfulness, community weekend, retreat, or for a lifetime in our residential community.
We are currently hosting programs mainly in the warmer season, with camping as the primary accommodation. We have already received preliminary enthusiastic approval of our residential and education center plans from the town, and are in the process of finalizing the design of the community and buildings. If you want to help with this aspect, please click on one of the support links on the left. Once retreat center facilities are up, year-round programming will become part of daily life in the community.

A focus detecting device utilizing thin film to detect convergence or divergence of rays from a light source by directing the light rays through a pair of prisms having the same index of refraction but separated from one another along a surface by material having a lesser index of refraction so that both reflection and transmission occur across the surface, the reflection being detected by the first pair of detectors and the transmitted radiation being detected by a second pair of detectors whose outputs will vary in accordance with the collimation of the light.
1. Focus detecting apparatus comprising:
a source of light for producing a polarized beam;
beam splitter means receiving the polarized beam and transmitting a part thereof to a first reflecting surface for reflection back to the beam splitter means to produce first and second beam portions, the first beam portion being reflected for use by a power monitor and the second portion being transmitted through lens means to a recording medium, the recording medium reflecting light back through the lens means, the lens means operable to collimate the reflected light from the recording medium when the recording medium is located a first distance from the lens means, the lens means transmitting the reflected light to the beam splitter means to produce third and fourth beam portions, the third beam portion being reflected for use by a data detector and the fourth portion being reflected in a first path;
first means having a first index of refraction positioned in the first path to receive light in the fourth portion from the beam splitter means, said first means having a first surface positioned at a first angle with respect to light in the fourth portion received from the lens means;
second means having the first index of refraction to receive the light passing through the first surface and having a second surface parallel to but displaced from the first surface by a medium having a second index of refraction, the first and second means being positioned so that the incidence angle at the first surface provides substantially total internal reflection;
first and second detector means for receiving the light reflected from the first surface and producing first and second outputs in accordance therewith, said first and second detector means for receiving substantially the same amount of light when light from the lens means is collimated but different amounts of light when not collimated;
third and fourth detector means for receiving the light transmitted through the first and second surfaces and producing third and fourth outputs in accordance therewith, the third and fourth detector means receiving substantially the same amount of light when light from the lens means is collimated but different amounts of light when not collimated; and
signal receiving means connected to the first, second, third and fourth detectors to receive the first, second, third and fourth outputs to provide a resultant output indicative of the receipt of light in different amounts by the first and second detectors and by the third and fourth detectors as an indication that the object is at other than the predetermined distance from the lens means.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the resultant output is a function of the sum of the first and third outputs less the sum of the second and fourth outputs.
3. Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the lens means causes the light from the object to converge when the object is further than the first distance and the light to diverge when the object is closer than the first distance and the resultant output has a first characteristic when the light is convergent and a second characteristic when the light is divergent.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3 further including motive means connected to the signal receiving means and operable to move the lens means in a first direction when receiving a resultant signal of the first characteristic and in a second direction when receiving a resultant signal of the second characteristic.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the motion of the lens means in the first and second direction causes the lens means to be positioned to collimate light from the object.
6. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the recording medium is a magneto-optical recording medium.
7. Apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the light reflected from the magneto-optic recording medium is for reading data recorded on the recording medium.
The present invention relates to focus sensing and more particularly to a focus sensor for use with equipment where the exact distance between two devices is to be maintained, as for example, in a microscope or a optical recorder such as that disclosed in my co-pending application entitled MAGNETO-OPTIC REWRITTABLE OPTICAL HEAD, Ser. No. 07/771,042, filed Oct. 2, 1991, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,200,946 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
A method of determining whether light is collimated or is converging or diverging has been suggested and referred to as the "critical" angle method which is discussed on page 80 of a book entitled Principles of Optical Disc Systems by G. Bouwhuis et al. of Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven and published by Adam Hilger, Ltd., Bristol and Boston. More particularly, when a parallel beam of light passes through a prism of a first index of refraction and is incident at an angled surface just above the critical angle, the light is reflected. Two detectors may then be placed so that the radiation received by both detectors will be equal. If the incident beam is converging then a first portion of the beam will strike the surface below the critical angle and will not be reflected. This light will pass out of the prism but the light that is reflected from the remaining portion of the beam will strike one detector more than the other thus indicating convergence. Similarly, if the light is diverging, the other of the detectors will receive more energy than the first. By measuring the energy received by the detectors it may be determined whether the original beam was parallel, converging or diverging. This method has been suggested for use in focus sensing as shown by an article entitled "A Focus Sensing Method with Improved Pattern Noise Rejection" by D.R. Marshall of the Hewlett Packard Disk Mechanisms Division and published in the S.P.I.E. Volume 1499, Optical Data Storage, '91 on pages 332-339. In this technique light reflected from the surface is only parallel when the surface is at a first position (i.e. focused) and is either divergent or convergent on either side of the focus position. By sensing the output of two detectors in the "critical angle" method, the position of the pick up lens, which receives energy from the disk, can be maintained to assure proper focus.
A basic problem occurs with the focus sensing apparatus heretofore proposed in that the sensitivity of the system to even very slight angular changes of the medium through which the light passes can significantly alter the output. Likewise, even minor changes in the index of refraction which can occur as, for example, with changes in temperature or even changes in altitude make such systems extremely difficult to employ except in very controlled environments.
The present invention utilizes an effect associated with a thin homogeneous dielectric films such as described in the book "Principles of Optics" by Born and Wolf 5th ED Section 1.6 pp 61-67. According to this phenomena, light which passed through a homogeneous dielectric thin film situated between two homogeneous media will have a certain percentage reflected by the film and the rest transmitted through the film, assuming a no-losses non-absorbing film. The ratio of transmitted to reflected light at the film varies with incident angle, film thickness, optic index's of the film and surrounding media and the wavelength of the incident light.
One finds that for a thin film whose thickness is on the order of the wavelength of light used, with lower optic index than the surrounding media and with light incident nominally at the critical angle of the surrounding media/thin film, that the percentage of reflected light is highly sensitive to changes in the incident angle. Variations of reflection and transmission are described in an article entitles "A Variable Transmittance Beam Splitter" by R.N. Smartt, in the April 1970 issue of Applied Optics on pages 970-971.
I have discovered that the application of these principles to the focus control of such devices as optical recorders, results in a focus control system which is simple, rugged and does not have the problems relating to minor changes in index of refraction or slight changes in incidence angle. More particularly, I place two prisms having the same index of refraction next to each other with the boundary between them including a thin film or preferably small volume of air, and I direct the light reflected from the recording disk through a pick up lens (which if properly position will collimate the light) to the two prisms so that the light is reflected and transmitted from and through the substantially totally internally reflecting surface to first and second detector pairs. The light will be received by both detectors in each pair equally if it is collimated by the lens. If the light coming from the pick up lens is divergent, one of each of the two detectors in each pair will receive more light while the other receives less and vice versa if the light is divergent. The outputs of all four detectors are then used to detect the collimation of the light from the pick up lens and this information can be used as a focus detector or as a control for the proper positioning of the lens at the proper focus position. Since the indices of refraction of the two prisms are the same, changes in index will not have a serious effect nor will small changes in angle of incidence because, as will be explained, I use the sum and difference of detector outputs to provide my focus error signal.
FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the present invention wherein the light from the pick up lens is collimated.
FIGS. 1B and 1C show the energy received by the detectors in the arrangement of FIG. 1A.
FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram similar to FIG. 1A wherein the light from the pick up lens are convergent.
FIG. 2B and 2C show the energy received by the detectors in the arrangement of FIG. 2A.
FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram similar to FIG. 1A wherein the light from the pick lens is divergent.
FIGS. 3B and 3C show energy received by the detectors in the arrangement of FIG. 3A.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the present invention used with an optical recording head.
FIG. 1A shows a lens 10 receiving light reflected from a source (not shown) along lines such as 12, 14 and 16. If the source is at the focal distance of lens 10, then the lens 10 will collimate the light so that it emerges therefrom along parallel lines such as shown by reference numerals 18, 20 and 22, respectively. This collimated light is shown entering a first prism 25 which has a first index of refraction and a surface 27 which is positioned at an angle shown to be approximately 45 degrees with respect to the rays 18, 20 and 22. While the angle is seen at about 45 degrees, for convenience, it must be substantially at the critical angle (i.e., the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs). As seen in FIG. 1A, light striking surface 27 is reflected upwards out of prism 25 to a pair of detectors A and D which may be formed from a split detector 29 such as the four sector detector described in my above-mentioned co-pending application Ser. No. 07/771,042. Two halves of this quad detector, D and A in FIG. 1A are also seen in FIG. 1B where it is seen that both halves receive substantially the same amount of light.
A second prism 32 with the same index of refraction as prism 25, is shown in FIG. 1A being joined to prism 25 at a peripheral area 34. Prism 32 has a second surface 36 which is close to, but separated from surface 27 in the central region by film or a layer of air 37 which has a lower index of refraction than the prisms 25 and 32. Accordingly, when the rays 18, 20 and 22 strike the central region at an angle of incidence substantially equal to the critical angle, energy is not only reflected but is transmitted through this region along lines such as shown in reference numerals 38, 40 and 42 to a second pair of detectors, B and C, which again may be quad detectors like those described in the above co-pending application Ser. No. 07/771,042. When the rays 18, 20 and 22 are collimated, then the energy striking detectors B and C will also be equal and is seen in FIG. 1C.
If the outputs of detectors A, B, C and D are analyzed according to the equation: FE=(A+C)-(B+D) where FE is the focus error of lens 10, then FE is equal to zero when the light from lens 10 is collimated. The electrical outputs of detectors A, B, C and D are shown on lines 46, 48, 50 and 52, respectively in FIG. 1A and these signals are presented to a focus servo 55 which operates to sum the signals in accordance with the above equation to produce an output on a line 57 indicative of the focus error FE. This signal is presented to a motive means such as servo motor 60 which operates through a mechanism shown as dashed line 62 to position the pick up lens 10 in accordance with any error signal on line 57. In the arrangement show on FIG. 1A, the focus error signal given by the equation above will be, as indicated, zero and accordingly motive means 60 will not operate to move lens 10.
If the object that is emitting light moves closer to the lens 10 than it was in FIG. 1A, the situation may be as shown is FIG. 2A where light is now travelling from the object along lines such as shown by reference numerals 12', 14' and 16'. The light from pick up lens 10 will no longer be collimated but will now converge along lines shown by reference numerals 18', 20' and 22'. These lines again enter prism 25 but now with somewhat different results. The rays in the upper portion of FIG. 2A following lines such as 18' now strike the surface 27 at a smaller angle of incidence than was the case in FIG. 1A and more energy will be transmitted and less energy will be reflected in this region. Thus, the amount of energy received by detector A will be less and that received by detector B will be more than was the case in connection with FIG. 1A. Rays in the lower portion of FIG. 2A, however, now strike the surface 27 at an angle of incidence somewhat greater than in FIG. 1A and more energy will be reflected and less transmitted in this region. As a result, detector D will receive a greater amount of reflected energy while detector C will receive less than was the case in connection this FIG. 1A. This is shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C wherein detectors D and B now receive greater energy than detectors A and C.
The signals from detectors A, B, C and D along lines 46, 48, 50 and 52 will again be presented to the focus-servo of FIG. 1A and the above equation (A+C)-(B+D) will result in FE being a negative quantity since (A+C) will be less than (B+D). The focus-servo 55 of FIG. 1 will therefore produce a signal on line 57 indicating that the lens 10 must be moved to the left in order for the rays 18', 20' and 22' to become collimated again.
On the other hand, if lens 10 were to be farther to the object emitting light than was the case in FIG. 1A then light to lens 10 would be like that shown in FIG. 3A coming from the object along lines such as shown in 12", 14" and 16". These lines would emerge from lens 10 divergently along lines such as shown by reference numeral 18", 20" and 22". The upper portion of these rays strike the surface 27 at a greater angle of incidence than was the case in FIG. 1A while those in the lower portion strike the surface at a lesser angle of incidence than was the case in FIG. 1A. The upper portion of the light travelling through lens 10 will be more reflected and less transmitted than was the case in FIG. 1A while the light in the lower portion of the beam from lens 10 will now be more transmitted and less reflected than was the case in FIG. 1A. The result is that detectors A and C will now receive more energy while detectors B and D will receive less energy as seen in FIGS. 3B and 3C. In this case FE in the above equation will be positive since the sum of A+C will be greater than the sum of B+D. The signals on lines 46, 48, 50 and 52 when presented to focus-servo 55 of FIG. 1A will result in a positive signal on output line 57 so that motor 60 of FIG. 1 will now drive lens 10 to a position farther to the object to restore the collimated light condition representing proper focus.
It is thus seen that the principle set forth in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 provide a system which can detect the focus position and maintain the same in a very accurate and precise manner. It will be noted that the slight changes in angle of incidence, which can occur from, for example, rotations of prisms 25 and 32, will have no effect on the resulting equation (A+C)-(B+D) so that the system is not subject to the problem encountered in the prior art. Furthermore, since two prisms 25 and 32 are used, both of which have the same index of refraction, any changes of temperature or other environmental changes that effect the index of refraction will effect both prisms the same and the apparatus will continue in spite of the change index of refraction thus again eliminating another of the major problems of the prior art.
FIG. 4 shows the present invention utilized in a magneto-optic recording system such shown in the above referred to co-pending application Ser. No. 07/771,042. More particularly a recording disk 60, mounted for rotation on a shaft 62, is shown receiving energy from a source 64 which produces a polarized light beam through a prism 66 over lines such as shown by reference numeral, 70, 72 and 74 passing into a rhomboid prism 75 and being reflected downwardly to the pick up lens 80 to be focused onto the recording disk 60. As described in the above co-pending application Ser. No. 07/771,042 some of the light passes out of the system along lines shown by arrows 82, 84 and 86 to a power monitor (not shown) that can adjust the intensity of the radiation of source 64. Light reflected off of the recording disk 60 passes back to the lens 80 along lines such as shown as reference numerals 88, 90 and 92 and, if pick-up lens 80 is at the proper focus position, emerges collimated and passes back into a prism 96 along parallel lines having reference numerals 98, 100, 102. This radiation passes back into the rhomboid prism 75 where it is reflected off the inner surfaces thereof and finally passes out of the rhomboid prism 75 along lines such as shown by reference numeral 110, 112 and 114 at the upper end thereof. Again, some of the energy is transmitted out of prism 96 to the bottom left in FIG. 4 along lines such as shown by arrows 114, 116 and 118 to a utilization device such as a computer (not shown).
If lens 80 is in the proper focus position then the energy from the top of the rhombic prism 75 along lines 110, 112 and 114 will be collimated. These rays enter into a prism 125, having a first index of refraction, and are reflected off a surface 127 which is positioned at about the critical angle with respect to collimated rays 110, 112 and 114. As was the case in connection with FIG. 1, a second prism 132 also having the same index of refraction, is peripherally joined to prism 125 at areas such as shown by reference numeral 134. A second surface 136 is close to but separated from surface 127 by a centrally located air gap 137. Reflection and transmission will occur and some of the energy will be reflected downwardly along lines such as 140, 142 and 144 to a first detector pair A and D in a manner similar to that shown in connection with FIG. 1A, while a portion of the energy from the surface 127 will be transmitted through the air gap 137 and through prism 132 to be reflected off an angular totally internally reflective surface 150 downwardly along lines such as shown by reference numerals 152, 154 and 156 to a pair of detectors B and C. In the same manner as was discussed in connection with FIGS. 1A, 2A and 3A, if lens 80 is at the proper focus position, detectors A and D will receive equal radiation as will detectors B and C. If lens 80 is closer to the surface of disk 60 than is seen in FIG. 4 then the rays emerging from the rhombic prism 75 along lines 110, 112 and 114 will be divergent with the result that detectors C and A will receive more energy while detectors D and B will receive less energy as was the case in connection with FIG. 2. Similarly, if lens 80 is further away from surface 60 than is the case shown in FIG. 4 then the rays 110, 112 and 114 will be convergent with the result that detectors D and B will received more energy than detectors C and A as was the case in connection with FIG. 3. Thus, the electrical outputs from detectors A, B, C and D along lines shown by reference numeral 160, 162, 164 and 166 will be received by a focus-servo 168 and the same equation FE=(A+B)-(B+D) will be used to produce an output on line 170 to a motive means 172. Motive means 172 will drive lens 80 by mechanical connection shown as dashed line 174 in accordance with the sign of the output on line 170. More particularly, if the 110, 112 and 114 are convergent, indicating that lens 80 is to far from the disk 60, the output on line 170 will be negative since A+C will be less than B+D. On the other hand, if the rays 110, 112 and 114 are divergent indicating that lens 80 is to close to surface 60 then the output on line 170 will be positive since A+C will be greater than B+D. Thus lens 80 will be repositioned to be at the focal position at which point the energy along lines 110, 112 and 114 will be collimated and there will no output on line 170 so that motive means 172 is de-energized.
It is thus seen that I have provided a system useful to automatically focus a lens with respect to a radiation transmitting object in a manner which minimizes the problems of the prior art relative to changes in index of refraction and sensitivity to rotation.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Vaccine developed to prevent Hendra virus infection
Posted on December 6, 2012
A long-awaited vaccine against a deadly zoonotic infectious disease in Australia became available Nov. 1.
The Equivac HeV vaccine protects against the transmission of the Hendra virus, which is endemic in native fruit bats in the warmer regions of the country.
Horses are thought to contract Hendra virus infection by ingesting feed or water contaminated by bats shedding the virus in their saliva, urine, aborted fetuses, or reproductive fluids.
The virus can also pass from animals to people and was first discovered in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra in 1994.
The Hendra virus horse vaccine project has received substantial funding from the Australian government over the years.
Most recently, in 2011, the Intergovernmental Hendra Virus Taskforce was formed, and the National Hendra Virus Research Program allocated funding to ensure that critical timelines for vaccine development were maintained.
Now, the Equivac HeV is available under permit from accredited veterinarians, following the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's approval of a minor use permit earlier this year.
The Australian Veterinary Association has recommended that all horses be vaccinated against the Hendra virus, as the vaccine is expected to not only protect the health of horses but also reduce the risk of exposure for horse owners, handlers, and veterinarians. Hendra virus has claimed the lives of 81 horses on the continent, with nine deaths in 2012 alone, according to a Pfizer Animal Health press release.
Seven cases of transmission from horses to humans have also been reported. Of those incidents, five have involved equine veterinary personnel conducting postmortem or endoscopic examinations. In three cases of the seven, the infection was fatal.
A survey of equine veterinary practices in Queensland, Australia, showed that some veterinarians had given up equine work because of risks posed by Hendra virus.
Published in Emerging Infectious Diseases earlier this year, the study explored the issues faced by staff of equine veterinary practices relating to Hendra infection–control and workplace health and safety.
Researchers found that 12 of 20 veterinary professionals (60 percent) had dealt with one or more cases of suspected Hendra virus infection; seven of them (35 percent) had dealt with a confirmed case. Further, four of 18 veterinarians (22 percent) interviewed said they had stopped doing equine work, and 44 percent knew of one or more colleagues who had stopped doing equine work in the preceding year.
Concerns over personal safety and legal liability related to Hendra were given as the main reason for the decision to leave equine practice.
With no known cure for Hendra virus infection, the Equivac HeV vaccine is expected to be the most effective defense against the virus.
Rapid development of Equivac HeV was the result of an Australian-led international collaboration.
Pfizer Animal Health worked in partnership with Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, and its Australian Animal Health Laboratory.
Additionally, U.S. organizations, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine also contributed to the vaccine's development.
Pfizer will oversee the training and accreditation of veterinarians working with the vaccine.

Grants will pay for Salem police patrols
Earlier this week, selectmen approved three grants from the state's highway and safety department that will assist the town with traffic patrols.
"Part of our job and responsibility is traffic enforcement and keeping the roads safe," said Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten. "With the call volume and everything we have going on, it does become a challenge at times to do as much as we should be doing."
"These grants supplement our patrol force that is out there during these times," said Patten. "Our regular guys out on the road might be going to accidents or other (incidents), but at least we know that we will have a dedicated patrol officer out there doing traffic enforcement."

↳ Leslie Shay (Chicago Fire)
I have two words for you. Lesbian night.
"This guy's looking for me and I just can't deal with it right now, okay? Can you…never mind, that would involve you doing a lesbian a favor and that's like one step from French kissing. I get it."
I'm gonna do it right.
"W e t r a d e d p l a c e s. We… We traded places. I told her… I told her to switch with me. And she ended up right where I was standing. Where I should have been when the beam came down."
I can't find a pulse.

Ruzek (Chicago PD) and Casey (Chicago Fire) banners as requested by adamruzekcpd. Love how so many different characters just pop in and out of Chicago Fire & PD. It was a pleasant surprise to see Ruzek show up in Chicago Fire.
Two of my favorite guys.
