An electromagnetic apparatus comprising two inductors generating a gliding magnetic field. Each inductor has a plane active face and the faces of the two inductors define a parallelepiped space therebetween to receive an armature. A plurality of pairs of rectilinear electrical conductors at each active face are associated to form two-phase imbricated windings connected in series within each inductor. The input conductor of each inductor is connected to the output conductor to form a single closed winding connected as a Wheatstone bridge. A two-phase generator feeds electric energy to the input conductors, one phase of the generator being connected between the points of junction of the two-phase windings of one inductor and the other generator phase is connected between the points of junction of the two inductors.
1. An electromagnetic apparatus comprising two inductors adapted to generate a gliding magnetic field, each of the inductors having a respective plane active face, the plane faces of the inductors defining therebetween a substantially parallelepiped space, for receiving an electrically conductive body to constitute an armature between the inductors, a plurality of pairs of recti-linear electrical conductors including an input conductor and an output conductor at each of the active faces of the inductors, the pairs of conductors being associated to form two-phase imbricated windings and connected in series at the middle of each of the inductors, the input conductor of each of the inductors being connected to the output conductor of the other inductor to form a single closed winding connected as a Wheatstone bridge, and a two-phase generator feeding electric energy to the input conductors, one of the phases of the generator being connected between the points of junction of the two-phase windings of each of the inductors and the other phase of the generator being connected between the points of junction of the two inductors.
2. The electromagnetic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the conductors of each inductor are connected to form two-phase imbricated windings with distributed poles.
3. The electromagnetic apparatus of claim 1, wherein a plurality of said pairs of inductors are associated, with each two inductors connected to the Wheatstone bridge.
The present invention relates to improvements in the electrical current feed systems of an electromagnetic apparatus which comprises polyphase electromagnetic inductors generating travelling electro-magnetic fields which are displaced in translation, also known as gliding electromagnetic fields, of the general type using two inductors constituting the stator of a linear motor fed by polyphase current or for heating electrically conductive objects having plane faces and used as armature between the inductors.
It is known that, when use is made of polyphase inductors of this type with a small number of poles and a length which is small in relation to the other dimensions of the inductor, either for linear motors wherein the translation force produced by the gliding magnetic field is utilized or for heating objects wherein the energy dissipated within the object is utilized, the asymmetry of the geometric position of the phases of the inductor in relation to the terminals of the system as well as to the armature, i.e. the heated object, brings about a significant electrical unbalance and corresponding differences in the currents and voltages of the phases. This, in turn, produces a great difference in the charge between the phases of the electric current generator, the more strongly charged phase being that feeding the primary winding situated at the input of the inductor (the terminal by which the gliding magnetic field "enters" the system), while the output phase almost does not work at all.
It must be mentioned that the unbalance is due to two different causes in a three-phase inductor: a spatial dissymmetry based on the different position of the phase circuits with respect to the terminals of the system and time dissymmetry due to the difference in phase of the currents running through these circuits. The combination of these two dissymmetries is necessary to create the gliding field. This leads to the differentiation of the role of the terminals, one at the input and the other at the output of the gliding field, and it creates thereby an electromagnetic unbalance between the circuits adjacent one or the other terminal. With a two-phase inductor, it is possible to obtain perfect spatial symmetry, each phase being able to occupy a symmetrical position in relation to the other with respect to the terminals. On the other hand, the electromagnetic dissymmetry remains since the phase currents are out of phase by π/2 so that one of the terminals becomes the input and other other one becomes the output.
This invention has the object of remedying these disadvantages and to provide an electromagnetic system with a gliding field whose electrical current feed system is balanced in voltage as well as in current.
This and other objects are accomplished in accordance with the invention with an electromagnetic apparatus comprising two inductors adapted to generate a gliding magnetic field, each of the inductors having a respective plane active face. The plane faces of the inductors define therebetween a substantially parallelepiped space for receiving an electrically conductive body to constitute an armature between the inductors. A plurality of pairs of rectilinear electrical conductors including an input conductor and an output conductor are disposed at each of the active faces of the inductors. The pairs of conductors are associated to form two-phase imbricated windings connected in series at the middle of each of the inductors, the input conductor of each of the inductors being connected to the output conductor of the other inductor to form a single closed winding connected as a Wheatstone bridge. A two-phase generator feeds electric energy to the windings, one of the phases of the generator being connected between the points of junction of the two-phase windings of each of the inductors and the other phase of the generator being connected between the points of junction of the two inductors.
The basic principle of the present invention may be viewed from two closely complementary points of view. From one point of view, this invention associates an "input" winding of one inductor with an "output" winding of the other inductor, and vice versa so that the two assemblies act in the same fashion with respect to the absorbed electrical charge. From a second point of view, the four windings are associated as the branches of a balanced Wheatstone bridge whose diagonals are respectively fed by the two phases of a two-phase generator so that the two phases are electrically disconnected from each other and thus do not discharge into each other. The combination of these phenomena obtains the desired unitary result, i.e. the production of a gliding field of great power in a polyphase electromagnetic system with a balanced polyphase electric energy feed, that is, without substantially reverse current. It will be understood that the structure of the invention necessarily requires the electric current delivery to be a two-phase power source. Since industrially available electric power sources are usually three-phase systems, a conventional transformer is used to change the three-phase to a two-phase system, a "Scott" transformer being the most convenient.
A two-phase inductor wound in the manner herein disclosed will have spatial as well as electromagnetic symmetry.
The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of one preferred embodiment thereof, given by way of example and without limiting this invention thereto, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing wherein
FIG. 1 is a transverse vertical section of a cell of a furnace for heating a steel slab;
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the bridge circuit of the two inductors of the furnace, in principle;
FIG. 3 shows the bridge circuit of FIG. 2 symbolically; and
FIG. 4 shows a connection diagram of the conductive bars of the inductor.
Referring first to FIG. 1, this is identical with FIG. 1 of copending U.S. patent application Serial No. 760,431 filed Jan. 18, 1977, for an "Induction Heated Furance with a Gliding Magnetic Field", of which I am a joint inventor. The structure and operation of this furnace has been fully described and illustrated in the copending application, the sole difference thereover being the electric circuit feeding current to the inductors in accordance with the invention, as hereinafter particularly described.
In the furnace of FIG. 1, steal slab 1 is shown mounted upright in heating space 2 of a furance defined by vertical lateral walls 3 which are of refractory material to insulate space 2 from two plane inductors 4 which are disposed face-to-face, each inductor being associated with a respective one of the walls and being supported on support frame 6. The inductors define twenty-four horizontal slots 5 along the refractory walls into each one of which is placed a conductive bar of the Roebel type, cooled by circulating water and constituting the conductive windings of the inductor. The inductors are mounted in welded support frames 6 for movement perpendicular to the wall on rollers or wheels 8 running on rails 7. Hydraulic jacks 9 connect each inductor-support frame assembly to a support base to move the assembly.
The steel slab is mounted on insulating stand 10 of a strong refractory material, collar 11 refractory, preferably non-magnetic, steel being interposed between stand 10 and slab 1.
Cooling of the magnetic mass of the inductors is assured by longitudinal channels 12 machined into the inductors and carrying a heat exchange fluid for circulation through the inductors.
As indicated hereinabove, the structure and operation of the furnace is more fully described in the copending application whose pertinent disclosure in this respect is incorporated herein by way of reference.
Each inductor is connected in a two-phase circuit. It comprises twenty-four conductive bars, i.e. twelve bars per phase, in serially imbricated windings, as conventional. Each coil of the windings is formed by a bar of rank i connected in series with a bar of rank i+12 so that the same current circulates in opposite directions through the connected bars.
FIG. 2 is a simplified schematic diagram of a bridge circuit according to this invention, wherein the two inductors have been assumed to be flattened into a single plane parallel to the plane of FIG. 1, by symmetric rotation with respect to a median vertical plane of the furnace, which extends perpendicularly to the plane of FIG. 1. In this figure, each inductor has been shown by a rectangle in broken lines and each horizontal bar represents actually six conductive bars connected either in parallel or in series, series connection being preferred for high powers. The four phase windings thus constituted are connected by a bridge circuit in the form of a Wheatstone bridge, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
It will be appreciated that this system is entirely symmetrical. The four phase windings form the four branches of a Wheatstone bridge with complex impedances. The two phases PH.1 and PH.2 of the two-phase generator are respectively disposed in a diagonal of the bridge. Each branch of the bridge has a proper impedance Z and mutual impedances with the three other branches, Zα, Zβ, and Zγ, respectively as shown in FIG. 3. The combination of these different complex impedances places the bridge in balance and prevents any of the two diagonals from discharging into the other.
It is actually possible to prove by a complex calculation that the currents of phase I1 and I2 are given by the following equations: ##EQU1## wherein Z1 = Z + Zα + Zβ + Zγ and Z2 = Z - Zα + Zβ - Zγ.
The above calculations show that the current of each phase depends solely on the voltage of this phase, i.e. each phase is fully independent and disconnected from the other. Therefore, if voltages V1 and V2 have a difference in phase of 90� at no load (two phase current delivery), they keep the same difference in phase under load although the power factor (cos φ) is different in the two diagonals and the reactance of the transformer is not negligible. Furthermore, since the real parts of impedances Z1 and Z2 are different, there is a difference in the charge (real power) between the two phases.
The voltages at the terminals of the diagonals of the bridge are given, respectively, by the folliwing vector relations: ##EQU2##
These equations show that, for a two-phase voltages delivery, i.e. out of phase by π/2, and the vectors V1 and V2 being orthogonal, amplitudes VBA and VCB are equal and the voltages are balanced in the four branches of the bridge. However, since the power factor (cos φ) is different in the two diagonals, the currents in branches IAB and IAC are not exactly out of phase by 90� and are not exactly of the same amplitude. This unbalance remains, however, low, i.e. less than 10%.
The electrical diagram for the connection of the twenty-four conductive bars of an inductor is shown in FIG. 4, the two inductors being identical. Each of the twelve first bars of rank i is connected in series with the bar of rank i+12, the latter being reconnected in series with bar I+1. Phase AB is thus composed of bars 1 to 6 and 13 to 18 while phase BC is composed of bars 7 to 12 and 19 to 24.
In an experimental run of a furnace constructed in accordance with FIG. 1, steel slabs having a dimension of 250�1200�4000 mm and a weight of about nine tons, were heated, each inductor of the furnace having twenty-four Roebel type conductive bars measuring 80�27 mm and disposed in correspondingly dimensioned slots separated by 23 mm of magnetic material. The polar pitch was equal to 0.6 m. The effective current intensity in each bar was 12,000 ampere at 50 Hz. The air gap between the inductors and the steel slab was 110 mm. Under these operating conditions, the real power transmitted to the slab by the two inductors was 2.8 MW.
The advantage of the invention resides in the electrical balance of the system. With inductors fed in the conventional manner, the ratio of the resepective impedances of the input and output phases are about 3 to 1 while the power factor is, respectively, of the order of cos φ1 =0.14 and cos φ2 = 0.03.
In the electrical current feed system of this invention, the following conditions are met:
Cos φ1 = 0.10, cos φ2 = 0.07, Z1 = 0.74 and Z2 = 0.84.
it will thus be appreciated that the unbalance is considerably reduced since the ratio of the power factors is reduced from almost 5 to less than 1.5 and the ratio of the impedances is reduced from 3 to a value of approximately 1. Therefore, such an electric current feed system is practically balanced.
The present invention may be utilized with inductors of any voltage and any number of pairs of inductors.
The electromagnetic apparatus of the present invention may be used for various purposes requiring a gliding electromagnetic field, whenever it is possible to associate two identical inductors disposed identically with respect to an armature, whether it is primarily for the purpose of obtaining a force or movement, such as in linear motors, liquid pumping systems, stirring or the like, or for heating, such as in furnaces, thermal treatment systems and the like.

Ohio Gourd Show coming up ...
If you haven't been to a gourd show then you have the chance to do so at the end of September in Greenville Ohio at the Darke County Fair Grounds. There will be dozens and dozens of finished gourds in about every technique you can think of - musical instruments, bowls, woodburning, carving and everything in between. I will put a link here so that you can check out some of the gourds that people in Michigan have entered in the Indiana Gourd show in 2008. There will also be classes offered at the Ohio show as there always are at other shows across the USA. For info you can just do a search for the Ohio gourd society and check out the details if you are interested.
Cheers from Kalamazoo MI
Here is a link that might be useful: Different styles of gourd crafting and art
Greetings from Atlanta, GA
magickiwi, Are an artist yourself?
Some of those works shown in your link are very artistic.
I have not tried to work on gourds yet, because I have not had good ones before. But this year I have some interesting ones(stil on the vines). So maybe this wintr I will practice on them. I like burning and some light painting. Like I said, I am not an artist or craftsman in this area but I would like to try it.
About the show, I would have attended if I lived near by . But I am too far away.
Hi Cyrus - the link was to photos of decorated gourds that were entered by Michigan gourd addicts in competition at the Indiana Gourd Show in 2008 - our Michigan gourd artists and crafters are a talented bunch for sure! If you check http://www.georgiagourdsociety.com/ you will find links there to some of the different gourd shows and gourders in the Atlanta area. When I first started out working on gourds it was because of a friend in the Atlanta area. Check out the Hot Lanta Gourd Patch and sign up with the Georgia Gourd Society. You ought to also check out the American Gourd Society - heaps of information there that I am sure you will enjoy. Myself - I enjoy woodburning on the gourds and chip carving ... mostly because I can't paint! Here is a link to photos I took the very first time I saw gourds! There are 15 photos there - the last two were my attempt at working on a gourd! I was hooked that day for sure.
Cheers from SW Michigan

Please comment about my garden!
My garden!
Here is a link that might be useful: My garden 2010 !
I like your use of walkways and screening to provide a sense of destinations and viewpoints.
It doesn't seem to be a huge garden so you've shown more restraint than I ever could - you've planted in groups to give a disciplined and structured effect which I appreciate (but couldn't do...:-((( )
I predict that the garden bed with the Japanese maple will be widened Soon. It has that feel to it.
The conifers are beautiful. They might swamp the garden in future. For now they provide lovely 'bones'
Very tidy, lush green... I just loved the pic with terrace and stairs coming down in the garden.. although its personal choice (and of course the zone limitations) but I would have added more colorful foliage like Caladiums or Coleus in the summer...
In short it was refreshing virtual tour for me, thanks for sharing..
I appreciate the GREEN. Those of us living in DRY summer California when we travel are always happy to see a lush green country side, especially when it is also a well tended garden. Many of us would really like to know what part of the world you garden in. Al
I am living in Ontario Canada, my zone is 5.Thank you all for your nice comments. Last year in the fall I planted over 400 spring bulbs, 5 clematis,also I have in my garden over 15 roses, peonias.Yes, I am agry that the garden need more color, I am working on it.English for me is the second language, sorry for mistakes.
It is all just so beautiful, so private and so perfect, with so many textures and colors. It was nice seeing it in different stages and seasons.
I am really wowed by your grass too, and often wonder how folks can ever mow with beds so close together without throwing the grass into/on to nearby beds. Do you use a mulching mower or maybe one with a bagger?
I'm really impressed by it all, and see that it has been a labor of love.
I am working on it.English for me is the second language, sorry for mistakes.
You do very well with English as a second language. A lot of English speaking folks have not mastered it as well as you have.

Very tasty! Floral and feminine, but possesses nice strength. 94 pts. -Wine Spectator Grand Tour 5/5/12
This 2004 Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain is very good. Deep ruby color with a mid to tight rim variation. Fruit notes of black cherry and plum with a hint of licorice. It has a long finish on the palette with low acidity. This wine is in its peak (2011 - 2016). Best served chilled to 62 degrees, double decanted, and served with a chicken & choriso paella.
look = 6/10, smell = 14/20, taste = 15/20; total = 35/50
Nose with Mokka, Plum, Cherry and some Blackforest smoked ham. On the palate the Tannins are still dominant and there is a lack of fruit in relation to the oak. Already a great wine, but some more years are necessary to perfection.
I didn't like this wine as much as I expected I would - to me it seemed "hot" - too alcoholic and not as smooth as I would expect from this area - perhaps too young to drink just now?
Have tried the 1998 and 2005, but the 2004 Torre Muga is the epitome of contemporary Rioja wine. Coffee and spice first on the nose and palate, with currant and cherries soon to follow. Tannins are still young, but who can wait for that...
External Reviews for Muga Gran Reserva Prado Enea
The new luxury Rioja, the 1995 Torre Muga Reserva Especial (75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano), was kept 22 months in large American oak vats and then moved to 100% new French oak for 16 months. There are approximately 5,000 cases of this gorgeous Rioja, which has managed to endure significant oak aging, yet retain remarkable levels of fruit, complexity, and richness. The Lafite-Rothschild of Rioja, it offers elegant, spicy, cedary, black cherry, mineral, and toasty aromas. Medium to full-bodied, with harmony among its component parts, this is a wine of exceptional grace, richness, length, and overall symmetry. It can be drunk now, but promises to improve for 12-20 years. Impressive!
Tief dunkles Purpurrot. Aroma mit erdig, rauchigen Nuancen von Vanille und Blaubeeren, sowie Brombeerkonfitüre. Am Gaumen dicht, konzentriert und explosiv mit intensiver schwarze Frucht, welche jahrgangsbedingt, etwas überreif wirkt. Sehr langanhaltender Abgang.
Plush and harmonious, this red is alluring yet subtle, with intense flavors backed by an impressive structure. Look for black currant, cocoa, cigar box and mineral notes now, and expect further complexity as this evolves. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2020.
This seems eminently ageworthy; it has the strong foundation and pulsing acidity required of a true cellar dweller. The raspberry and plum fruit have a beam of acidity and the tannins are not shy. Shows all the hallmarks of a fine modern Rioja: power, purity and balance.
Beautifully aromatic, with notes of cassis, lilacs, coffee and spices, this sinuous Spanish red is polished and elegant, yet dense with fruit, oak and earthy flavors that linger and expand on the long finish. An extraordinary marriage of typicity and sophistication. Drink now through 2010.
Plush and harmonious, this red is alluring yet subtle, with intense flavors backed by an impressive structure. Look for black currant, cocoa, cigar box and mineral notes now, and expect further complexity as this evolves. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases imported. -TM The 2004 Torre Muga is 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano. It is aged for 3 months in large wood vats before spending 18 months in new French oak. Inky purple-hued, it exhibits a superb nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, spice box, scorched earth, and blackberry. This leads to a layered, opulent wine with 5-7 years of aging potential. It has great balance and should drink at its best from 2015 to 2025. Saturated ruby. Exotically perfumed, syrah-like bouquet of red and dark berries, violet, smoky bacon and graphite, with a vanillin oak spice undertone adding an exotic touch. Fleshy, palate-staining cassis and bitter cherry flavors are brightened by piquant minerality and firmed by fine-grained tannins. Cracked pepper and mace qualities come up on the long, silky finish. Extremely suave and strikingly complex wine with excellent balance. ** Only 2 in Stock **
Exemplary Gran Reserva Rioja blending modernity with the best traditions of this famed region. Perfumed, lush and complex to start, then vibrant in the mouth, with excellent integration of flavors, acidity and tannins. Tastes of fine tobacco, mulled blackberry, chocolate and dry spices. Proper as the textbook calls for but individual as well. Best from 2014–2018.

Re: Fan Film Writer's Primer
Another great article/list, this time from the auteur du jour, Joss Whedon but from back in 2009:
Joss Whedon's Top 10 Writing Tips
Joss Whedon said:
Actually finishing it is what I'm gonna put in as step one. You may laugh at this, but it's true. I have so many friends who have written two-thirds of a screenplay, and then re-written it for about three years. Finishing a screenplay is first of all truly difficult, and secondly really liberating. Even if it's not perfect, even if you know you're gonna have to go back into it, type to the end. You have to have a little closure.
Obviously, this is something many fan films struggle with on a producing level but it's important to remember that there are probably many more scripts that have been started that never quite got to "The End."
Structure means knowing where you're going; making sure you don't meander about. Some great films have been made by meandering people, like Terrence Malick and Robert Altman, but it's not as well done today and I don't recommend it. I'm a structure nut. I actually make charts. Where are the jokes? The thrills? The romance? Who knows what, and when? You need these things to happen at the right times, and that's what you build your structure around: the way you want your audience to feel. Charts, graphs, coloured pens, anything that means you don't go in blind is useful.
This. Now, some fan films aren't following the traditional film screenplay format but rather the old five act structure for television. It still applies. What are your act-outs? What's your tease? It matters!
This really should be number one. Even if you're writing a Die Hard rip-off, have something to say about Die Hard rip-offs. The number of movies that are not about what they purport to be about is staggering. It's rare, especially in genres, to find a movie with an idea and not just, 'This'll lead to many fine set-pieces'. The Island evolves into a car-chase movie, and the moments of joy are when they have clone moments and you say, 'What does it feel like to be those guys?'
This is arguably the most important item on this list when considered in the context of STAR TREK fan films, based on a series prided on its ability to tell allegorical stories about our lives today by telling stories set in the far future. Give us some meat to feast on. What's the "bottom" of your story?
Everybody has a perspective. Everybody in your scene, including the thug flanking your bad guy, has a reason. They have their own voice, their own identity, their own history. If anyone speaks in such a way that they're just setting up the next person's lines, then you don't get dialogue: you get soundbites. Not everybody has to be funny; not everybody has to be cute; not everybody has to be delightful, and not everybody has to speak, but if you don't know who everybody is and why they're there, why they're feeling what they're feeling and why they're doing what they're doing, then you're in trouble.
I'll point out
Star Trek: The Section 31 Files
(which I love) as being especially guilty of this. Too often the character of Takila Mak has the witty one-liner or saves the day with some brilliant solution. He was simultaneously the Mary Sue and the Wesley Crusher of that show. At the same time, the real moments of brilliance with the character came when he wasn't doing those things but instead reflecting on his life or trying to solve whatever problem he found himself in. So, don't sacrifice those moments of humanity for the sake of a great punchline or action scene. Give your characters opinions.
Perfect example: In "The Defector," Worf refuses to donate blood to the dying Romulan. You keep thinking he'll come around, but he just doesn't. Because Worf hates the Romulans. It may not be what we'd do, but it's what Worf does. And we can disagree with his decision but it makes him all the more complex as a character that he stuck to his guns.
In the fan films, there's a lovely interaction that came about between Shelby (Risha Denney) and Hunter (Nick Cook) when
Star Trek: Hidden Frontier
Star Trek: Intrepid
crossed over with each other. The two had a playful, friendly relationship and you believed it. Shelby is always going to be tormenting and teasing Hunter. Certainly a big part of that is the lovely performances by Denney and Cook but it also adds further depth to their characters. These aren't just cookie-cutter Starfleet captains who bend the rules when they have to and fire the phasers and say "Make it so," these were
Here's one trick that I learned early on. If something isn't working, if you have a story that you've built and it's blocked and you can't figure it out, take your favourite scene, or your very best idea or set-piece, and cut it. It's brutal, but sometimes inevitable. That thing may find its way back in, but cutting it is usually an enormously freeing exercise.
Or, worst case scenario, save it for another story. I've worked in writer's offices on three network shows so far and one of the things each office had in common was that there was always a board, off to the side labeled "Saved Scenes." And these saved scenes were things that had been written already and cut, or were just random blurbs thrown out in the writer's room during a break session and filed away for (possible) future use. A good example would be Troi and Worf's relationship on TNG, which the writers hinted at as far back as season five. Whether they knew it was going to go there that early on is irrelevant; the point is the idea was there and they could feed it as they saw fit.
When I've been hired as a script doctor, it's usually because someone else can't get it through to the next level. It's true that writers are replaced when executives don't know what else to do, and that's terrible, but the fact of the matter is that for most of the screenplays I've worked on, I've been needed, whether or not I've been allowed to do anything good. Often someone's just got locked, they've ossified, they're so stuck in their heads that they can't see the people around them. It's very important to know when to stick to your guns, but it's also very important to listen to absolutely everybody. The stupidest person in the room might have the best idea.
It's also important to not view your writing as if it's some hallowed sacred text. Nobody gets it right on the first draft, and 100% of the fan films that have been made or are being produced can, very likely, benefit from another edit or rewrite on the script. That's just facts, yo.
You have one goal: to connect with your audience. Therefore, you must track what your audience is feeling at all times. One of the biggest problems I face when watching other people's movies is I'll say, 'This part confuses me', or whatever, and they'll say, 'What I'm intending to say is this', and they'll go on about their intentions. None of this has anything to do with my experience as an audience member. Think in terms of what audiences think. They go to the theatre, and they either notice that their butts are numb, or they don't. If you're doing your job right, they don't. People think of studio test screenings as terrible, and that's because a lot of studios are pretty stupid about it. They panic and re-shoot, or they go, 'Gee, Brazil can't have an unhappy ending,' and that's the horror story. But it can make a lot of sense.
There's a great story in Hollywood about how a famous producer judged how good the film he was watching by how soon he needed to get up to go to the bathroom. In other words, don't be boring! Keep our attention. I've criticized
Phase II
's "Blood and Fire, Part II" because a large part of it is just Kirk and crew talking with Kargh on the viewscreen as various bits of melodrama unfold during that space call. After a certain point, it just became me wanting to reach through
screen and yell at the characters "Alright, we get it! Next scene, please!" Likewise, Starship Exeter came to be with the conceit that the production would be completed using as many practical effects as possible and with methods as close to those of 1960s television had at its disposal. Phase II aims to produce new episodes but dresses their films up with all the bells and whistles of what a TV show that would have been broadcast on a Saturday night in 1967 would have (the NBC and Desilu tags, the "you're watching this in living color!" bumper, etc.). The point is, know who you're writing for. It doesn't mean you can't do new things but the people watching are going to expect a certain product when it comes to something as specialized as a fan film. Make sure to honor that expectation.
Write the movie as much as you can. If something is lush and extensive, you can describe it glowingly; if something isn't that important, just get past it tersely. Let the read feel like the movie; it does a lot of the work for you, for the director, and for the executives who go, 'What will this be like when we put it on its feet?'
At the same time, don't overdo it. We don't need Kirk's life history expounded in a slug line describing his drawing his phaser on a hostile planet. The Shane Black school of screenwriting is fun to read but it's not necessarily applicable to everything. Again though, the same rule that applies to podcasting applies here: DON'T BE BORING!
Having given the advice about listening, I have to give the opposite advice, because ultimately the best work comes when somebody's fucked the system; done the unexpected and let their own personal voice into the machine that is moviemaking. Choose your battles. You wouldn't get Paul Thomas Anderson, or Wes Anderson, or any of these guys if all moviemaking was completely cookie-cutter. But the process drives you in that direction; it's a homogenising process, and you have to fight that a bit. There was a point while we were making Firefly when I asked the network not to pick it up: they'd started talking about a different show.
This could also go back, quite powerfully, I think, to the earlier point about having something to say. And there are absolutely those in the fan film community who could stand to hear the words "Choose your battles" a few more times till it sinks in.
The first penny I ever earned, I saved. Then I made sure that I never had to take a job just because I needed to. I still needed jobs of course, but I was able to take ones that I loved. When I say that includes Waterworld, people scratch their heads, but it's a wonderful idea for a movie. Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could've been good. There's an idea somewhere in almost any movie: if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can't, it doesn't matter how skillful you are: that's called whoring."
Not really applicable in the fan film community as most fan films are labors of love for their creators, so this one doesn't really apply directly but its worth knowing/remembering nonetheless. .

SAT-7's three channels, SAT-7 ARABIC, SAT-7 PARS and SAT-7 KIDS, can be seen in every country from Morocco to Afghanistan. Arabic, Farsi and Turkish speakers living in European countries can also view the broadcasts. Mouse over the country to find out its population and the percentage of Christians living there.
- man from Algeria
"Through SAT-7's programs I found answers to many questions that were rumbling in my mind. I am proud of this channel."
- woman from Egypt
"Firstly, I would like you to know that I enjoy watching As-Sanabel program to the extent that sometimes I postpone doing my homework to watch this edifying program, because it offers spiritual education and interesting games that fill the heart with joy. "Secondly, I hope to be a new friend of the program and I like to introduce myself, I am MA, I am a student in my final year at school and I believe that after finishing the High school and university, I will serve God in Sunday school. "Thirdly, I like the Sanabel magazine very much because it includes many spiritual topics presented in a simple and attractive way for children to understand. "Fourthly, please send me the Sanabel magazine regularly, to my address in Egypt."
- woman from Libya
"Greetings in Jesus' precious name. I am a Pakistani living in Libya. I regularly watch your channel, which is really nice. I do not understand Arabic but I am trying to learn it. Convey my regards to all your team."
- man from Syria
"Dear SAT-7. I would like to send my love to SAT-7 staff. Thank you very much for your love. No words can express my gratitude for your encouraging words. I was really touched by your humbleness. I am sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I live in Syria and the internet is not always at hand. You planted a seed of hope in my life after I had almost lost my faith and went into severe depression. For 20 years I have been through many persecutions. Please continue to pray for me."
- woman from France
"I am writing to you this message hoping you are doing well. I would like to thank you for your nice and spiritual program " Pray with Us". I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior last June. Now I feel that I am a different person. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for changing my life. I will be baptized and will soon become part of the family of Christ. I have already been baptized with the Holy Spirit and am happy with this big change in my life. Pray for the people in my country so that their hearts will be open to the truth. Pray also for my brother who is in jail. I love all the programs that speak about our Lord Jesus Christ. As for me I pray that my faith will grow stronger every day."

I also beg to differ, we the fans are not the ones who called Hitsu the kid genius or prodigy that was written into the story by none other than Kubo. What has he done to show why he is a captain? As fas as I am concerned he hasn't done anything great in the anime or manga, if you want to put the blame on Kubo then so be it, everyone has to have a whipping boy. Heck Kubo can make Hitsu defeat Aizen with some new special technique he has been "hiding" all this time. I guess if you want to mention how badly Kubo has been writing about Hitsu that is something you might want to take up with him, I will comment on how badly he has been overrated in the anime and manga.

Drop the high-and-mighty act, by the way. Nobody likes a wannabe elitist.
What has shinji done to demonstrate why he was the captain of squad 5? What has ANY captain done to justify it besides being powerful, fighting well, and having arrogance to spare? Kubo has always put Hitsugaya up against people that he pales in comparison too, and there's probably some reason or another for that. I'd assume it's some kind of ploy to get people reacting the way they are right now, and then throwing in twists like the way he almost killed Halibel.
Hitsugaya is NOT overrated. Never ONCE in reading this manga for the last three years have I seen one positive comment about him, or his fighting ability. If anything, he's horribly UNDERrated, given his position as a captain.
Let's look at his losses shall we?
Gin Ichimaru. < Obvious.
Sosuke Aizen < Even more obvious.
The Gillian Arrancars < Everyone struggled. I don't see anyone else from the advance team getting as much flak.
Luppi < 6th espada. Given how much everyone else was beaten up fighting various espada, even kenpachi (though to be fair he IS reckless) it's no surprise he'd struggle at least a little. On the other hand, Luppi was saved by negacion, and ONLY because of it.
Halibel < 3rd espada. This was to be expected. Again, Halibel was saved by somebody else.
All the while, people aren't saying ''oh how cheap, they were saved, the matchup was ridiculous'' etc. but rather ''How did he survive? Why isn't he dead yet?''
Kubo hasn't overrated Hitsugaya in the slightest, imo. He's likely put the kid into bad matchups purely to cause this kind of discussion in reaction to it.
It's basic publicity: People talk about your product, then it generates more interest.
/rant. Nothing personal, it just bugs me how people argue over Hitsugaya. >_>

Springfield, Mass. — MGM will be named Massachusetts' first casino operator, but the Las Vegas-based gambling giant will not have to immediately pay millions of dollars in state fees and other payments required by law.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reviewed the casino's $800 million Springfield project nearly two days before the panel agreed in principle Wednesday to issue the license to MGM, but to delay the payments, pending a decision by the state's Supreme Judicial Court. The court is considering whether a voter referendum to repeal the state's casino law should be allowed on the November ballot.
The commission decision comes after MGM officials suggested new language that would hold off an $85 million state licensing fee, which is due about 30 days after the license is awarded.
Gaming Commission Chairman Stephen Crosby said the casino's concern about paying the nonrefundable fee was "perfectly reasonable," given the uncertainty around the court case.
"We fully intend to make this award. We're very pleased with the proposal, but we're going to work with (MGM) to accommodate these other eventualities," he said. "These are just business-like accommodations to these realities."
The commission plans to finalize its decision Friday.
MGM Springfield President Michael Mathis said the company, which reported more than $2.6 billion in domestic gambling revenues in 2013, was pleased with the commission's plans.
He said the fee delay was important to a deal.
"Many recognize the difficult situation that we're in," he said. "We want to get to work and to get this project going."
The court ruling is expected before July 9. Under the proposed license terms, MGM would pay the licensing fee about eight days afterward if the court decides not to allow the repeal question on the ballot. But if the question is placed on the ballot, the fee would come due only if the repeal referendum were defeated.
To hold a license, the commission also proposed that the casino file reports on construction worker and casino staff hiring and mitigate any interference in downtown Springfield from the massive building project. Mathis said MGM did not object to those terms.
Crosby called MGM's plan a "genuinely ambitious and unusual effort" that could lift the fortunes of one of the most economically struggling regions of the state.
MGM proposes a casino, hotel, shopping and entertainment complex that preserves historic buildings and downtown Main Street's traditional storefront appearance while adding new amenities including a public plaza, cinema and bowling alley.
Crosby said he expects the casino complex will draw tourists from Connecticut and New York who would otherwise patronize southeastern Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun.
Foxwoods, which hopes to win a license for a Fall River, Mass., casino, reportedly is now interested in finding a significantly larger site than the one it had originally targeted.
Mohegan Sun, a candidate for a Greater Boston casino license, has proposed a project in Revere.

Posted 03/01/2013
I went to the ER and they had a us tech do an us and she required a full bladder to look at my cervix. My normal anatomy scan does not require a full bladder. I'd call before you go, just in case.

Groups Demand To See Secret Presidential Debate ContractSubmitted by Knucklehead on Fri, 09/28/2012 - 06:58
Huffington Post: Eighteen good-governance and media watchdog groups demanded on Thursday to see the lengthy, and secret, contract governing the upcoming presidential debates.
Led by Open Debates, a leading critic of the process, the groups, which include Public Citizen, Common Cause and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, criticized the Commission on Presidential Debates, which hosts the forums, and called on them to release the contract.
Every four years, the two major campaigns work out an elaborate contract governing everything from whether pens and pencils can be used to what kind of questions the candidates may ask each other. So far, Open Debates has been able to get its hands on the 1998 and 2004 agreements. All the other agreements have been kept secret.
The 2004 agreement, for instance, featured the following language about the debate moderators: "If any proposed moderator fails to execute a copy of this agreement at least seven (7) days prior to the proposed date of the debate he or she is to moderate, the two campaigns will agree upon and select a different individual to moderate that

Ain't going by pro wrestling rules. They are fake.
Fake Rules, Real Fiction: Professional Wrestling... & [presidential debates.]
IT-University of Copenhagen
University of Copenhagen
ABSTRACT: Emerging from a legitimate contest regulated by a set of rules, professional wrestling is today a fictional product. No actual competition takes place.
Professional wrestling is a cultural product of great
complexity. During its long history, it has evolved from a
form of legitimate contest or sport, to a fictional product.
This product is now being called sport entertainment.
Building on top of the current literature about professional
wrestling, [let us] analyze the narrative element of
wrestling utilizing the theoretical frameworks developed
for understanding [presidential debates.]
For further study: Presidential Debate: The Rules, 2004

Secret debate rules? There's rules? I don't see any rules.
If an honest, open debate fails, go to Boxing Rules. Well established. Ain't secret. Time tested.
The rules of boxing are set before the fight begins. There is a referee. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a point deduction or disqualification:
- You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.
- ...
- If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count.
- ...
- A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out.
- ....

GOOD LUCK, with
getting liars, theives, and worse to confess to their immorality and repent. It has not been often that this has been acomplished in humanity.
Enlightened disengagement is the weapon of choice in this a leaderless non violent revolt.
Its like watching those riots in spain where a few suited up men in black waving sticks and throwing canisters of tear gass and smoke had thousands of protesters cowed while they brutalized them.
Best to not be in the heard of sheep at slaughter time. Hence the Enlightened part of the disengagement.
Good Luck all

1 free person...
Free Indeed
3 John 2 right back at you, Sovereign...you are not a number..."you're a free man (woman)"...whatever you are, you're free - and you speak like a true patriot, not one of those phony ones made in Mexico or China.
Be seeing you.
Thank you for that bible verse
John 3:2
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."
You Missed It, Sovereign
John's 3rd Epistle, not the Gospel of John:
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".
It was and still is a blessing for you, the free.
Be seeing you.

If an honest, open debate fails, go to Boxing Rules.
- You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.
- A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out.
- Three strikes & you're out!

The League of Women Voters ran nonpartisan debates.
That all changed in 1988. The parties wrestled these debates away from the LWV. The rest is a history of sham debates.
Why League of Women Voters calls presidential debates "frauds"
by Will Chen on 28 November 2007
(bold is my emphasis)
I'm listening to the CNN-Youtube GOP debate right now and I'm pretty disgusted. This is not a debate, this is a media sham. How did we get here, I wondered. What happened to the tough debates hosted by the League of Women Voters?
Apparently, LWV saw this coming a mile away. Check out their press release from 1988 explaining why they bowed out of the process:
October 3, 1988
WASHINGTON, DC —"The League of Women Voters is withdrawing its sponsorship of the presidential debate scheduled for mid-October because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter," League President Nancy M. Neuman said today.
"It has become clear to us that the candidates' organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and honest answers to tough questions," Neuman said. "The League has no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public."
More at:
it says:
let's make a fake secret contract to distract people from important things. this ought to keep the ron paul folks occupied long enough to elect one of us without too much commotion. I think they are finished fighting election fraud within the republican party, warning people of the pending doom of insignificant amounts of fluoride in the water supply (often lower than the natural water supply) surely doesn't keep them busy enough, most of them have have already learned that homeopathy is just water, and 9/11 has bored them as they tire of wondering which federal agents were willing to kill themselves to complete an inside job. then we can keep dong the magic that we do to keep this nation humming along.

As a fan of the Phoenix Wright franchise I bought all of the books once I knew there were any to get.
The depth of my knowledge of manga as a whole is very limited, but I am a huge admirer of the Ace Attorney series of DS video games so this was a no-brainer for me.
It has all the charm, intensity and plot twists of the games that will make you feel like your playing a new case.
This is the best adaption of Ace Attorney's characters into a manga that I have read. It's not a direct manga of the game, but has its own story plot. Read morePublished 5 months ago by Dark Zero

This is an unusual park because it is combined with a mobile home park where people live permanently. That is actually a good thing. People can ask locals other than a park manager, where good shopping, etc., is. Also, some people leave their rigs here all year (parked in storage) and return by car every year. Most of the RV'ers we saw this winter were from Canada and returned to the area because they loved golf or the local casinos, or just the desert, which was lovely. I also liked that there were walking paths out into the desert behind the park, accessible through the side gate, and the scenery here was real, not landscaped. The park pool is large and the spa big enough for 20 or so people. The clubhouse is nice, too, with a kitchen and room for the nightly card games our group held. It has a pool table and room to read, with books to take out and leave some if you want. A nice, friendly place. Management was not really very friendly, but the people at the park made up for it. It's a short walk to a shopping center with a Vons, K-Mart, and Starbucks, so you don't have to drive everywhere. We camped at Palm Drive Trailer Park in a Motorhome.Undo
