TravelPod Member ReviewsSugar Bay Resort & Spa East End
Frankly, we were not expecting a lush, upscale beach resort so when we did not get a lush, upscale beach resort we did not mind. We were there for two nights and spent the day in between on St. John, so for the price and a clean place to sleep and shower, it was a good deal. (We paid less than $150/night and opted out of the all-inclusive package.)
The lobby is lovely but the rooms could use a refurbishment. The pool area is also nice but was marred in the early evening by loud karaoke, making the place really feel like college spring break. (7 p.m. is a little early for party karaoke.) The food was okay, although to be fair we only had one dinner (delicious jerk pork, okay sides) and one breakfast buffet (fine). Service could use a boost, with the exception of the bartender in the casino area and Sam at breakfast -- they were both absolutely delightful. Bell services and the front desk, however, were pretty dismal. Not at all friendly and at times downright rude.
If we'd been here for a longer stay, we would have been disappointed. For the price we paid compared to other resorts on St. Thomas and our low expectations, however, it was just fne. Would we stay here again? Not for a long stay but certainly for a couple of nights.
Access to Red Hook was very easy and we enjoyed that area. (We picked this end of the island since we had to take a ferry from Red Hook following our stay.)

Historical Traveler Reviews Sugar Bay Resort & Spa East End
Wonderful Honeymoon!
We had a perfect honeymoon at the Wyndham in mid September 2002. This is the best time of year to visit the Virgin Islands because it's the absolute SLOWEST time of year! The resort was at about 25% occupancy and we had the place to ourselves! (We only saw one child the whole week!) We spent the extra money to get a luxury category room and it was worth it - we had the most amazing view of St. John from our 6th floor balcony. The food was good, especially the seafood. It wasn't the caliber of food you would get on a cruise ship, but it was good nevertheless. We didn't care for the poolside Mangrove Restaurant, so dined every evening in the more formal Manor House Restaurant. The drinks at the Resort are FABULOUS - they don't skimp on premium brand liquor. We found every single staff member there to be incredibly helpful & friendly, even down to the bellhop who scolded me when I tried to carry my own suitcase from the taxi. He told me "You're at the Wyndham on vacation now, so let us take care of you!" I highly recommend booking a sunset cruise on the catamaran Daydreamer at the resort's tour desk. This one of the high points & most romantic parts of our trip. Also, pay attention to the resort menus posted in advance (this is nice so you can plan) and choose one night to dine outside of the resort at The Agave Terrace restaurant, which is right next door. The best food we had all week! Pefect for a special occasion. The only complaint we had was that the Wyndham doesn't offer room service. We were on our honeymoon & would have rather enjoyed a simple breakfast on our own private balcony than high-tailing it out of bed by 10 every morning to catch the end of breakfast service in the dining room. I would return in a heartbeat - a terrific vacation value (especially during the off season) and a great honeymoon spot.
Had a great time at Wyndham Sugar Bay
Had a great time here, the place is beautiful. The steps aren't as bad as everyone says...it actually helps burn off all you will eat and drink! Drinks are very good and always available, food was above average. I recommend the poolside grill...that was by far the best as far as fresh prepared food goes. The Manor House, or more formal dining is much better on weeknights when the menu is a la carte instead of buffet style. The resort has very good entertainment at night, especially if there's a good crowd, they like to get everyone involved. The beach is a tad rocky, but very enjoyable and complimentary non motorized water sports was a plus...windsurfing especially. Also, make a much worthwhile trip to the spa...it is fantastic! Watch out for lizards though...they are everywhere!! All and all a great trip...would go back!!
Honeymoon Haven
My husband and I honeymooned at the Wyndham Sugar Bay in August, 2001. The resort is great, the grounds well kept (minus the iguanas - they love brightly polished toes), the hotel and restaurant staff are great! The one exception to our heavenly experience was food staff poolside - they were really mean. One guy complained that he wasn't paid enough, visitors come and destroy their island and leave, blah, blah, blah....
Overall, we had a great time and will return soon!
Sugar bay
got a free trip from a vendor to sugar bay, but it turned out my package was not all inclusive, even though on the first day, i ended up getting free drinks from the bartenders because they didnt' realize i wasn't fully all-inclusive. i guess the deal was that our vendor didnt' pay the all -inclusive price. as a result, out of 5 nights, we only had two free dinners, one free lunch and all our breakfasts free. we also got some vouchers for activities. anyhow, the resort was great. even though i think it was near 100% occupany, was never crowded. the pool was nice, as was the beach. very easy to get a chaise lounge chair. the activities on the beach were fine-- didn't pay forany motorized watersports. just did the snorkeling, and the kayaking. they wouldn't let me use the catamaran? because i haven't had any sailing lessons. anyhow, the beach is a bit small and very rocky, so becareful where you step when you walk out to the beach. didn't get too adventurous with the snorkeling. did see some fish close to the beach, though. at th eoffice where you get the snorkel equipment, there is a free computer to read your email, even though be warned it is a very slow dial up line, no broadband. in the lobby, you have the privilege of paying 70 cents a minute for high speed access.
the breakfasts were fine. the best meal of the day, since it was free. omelettes were cooked with a huge dollop of butter. and the skim milk tasted funny. great selection of fresh cut fruit, esp. the pineapples and the mangos. never ate at the mangrove, but some friends did, who paid $45 a head and said they were bitterly disappointed, so for two nights, we got food from outside the resort. the first time we had dominos delivered and i picked it up from the lobby. the second time, took a cab to tutu park mall and went to the kfc for a family pack.
second day took cabs down to charlotte amalie to go to the outlets. really good pricing on brand name watches, perfume, liquor and the like. from the hotel, we had 12 people in our group and tried to bargain down from the $8 per person to town and the best he could do was $7. i firmly believe the rates are set up by the hotel and the cab companies. when we were in town, we had 4 people coming back and we negotiated $5 a person in this rickety minivan. do what you can.
the lunch at the poolside grill is $9 for those not in the all inclusive. inclludes chicken sandwiches and burgers. in the sports bar turtle rock, there was a fountain where i got free soda all week. no one said a word. i think it was free, at least.
the rooms were nice. ours had a great view of st. john and the accompanying water view on the 7th floor. but be forewarned that getting from one place to the other from the 7th floor can be quite a hike.
the tennis courts were great, but too bad the basketball courts were not lit for night time use. the gym was really nice with good equipment and the spa's bathroom is swank.
Great getaway at the Wyndham Sugar Bay
I just got back from the Wyndham in St. Thomas and had a great time. I have stayed in many all-inclusives (Jamaica, Playa del Carmen, St Lucia) and this was a little different. They don't have the "all-inclusive" thing down yet, but this is probably due to the fact that it is the only one on the island and this did not detract at all from the resort. In general this is a very beautiful property. You have fantastic views from every room. The food is good but not superb. The Breakfasts were the best. The non-motorized watersports were great. They have these cool trimarans that you sit in facing forward and steer with foot pedals. My wife and I went out in one a number of times and saw large sea turtles in the bay. The snorkeling off the beach is good if you go off the beach to your right around the rocks. It was never rough. If you walk to your left down the road or through two neighbooring resorts you can in 10 minutes get to one of the best snorkeling beaches on the island! This is Coki Beach. You can't miss this beach if you are at the Wyndham. If you don't was to walk take a cab (about 3-5 dollars.) I also need to mention that the Red Hook ferry to St. John is a 3 minute cab ride away and St. John is definately worth a day trip. Try Leinster Bay (a little off the beaten track.)
Terrible Service
We were married and honeymooned at the Wyndham over Thanksgiving weekend. Shelby, the wedding coordinator was fabulous. Beautiful settings and grounds. Photographer was excellent. However, rooms and grounds could be cleaner. Staff could be a lot friendlier especially the wait staff. Food needs to be improved substantially. Food had no flavor and wait staff was uniformed. Would recommend having wedding at the Sugar Bay but would go somewhere else for vacation!
Sugar Bay
Stayed over thanksgiving. Very nice overall. Grounds are kept very clean, staff will bend over backwards for you. Beautiful sight line of numerous islands. Staff helps you with getting cabs and making reccomendations on dining outside the hotel. Beach is very small maybe a half a block, rocks and shells make it difficult to enter water. Water is beautiful and warm. Food is plentiful but do not reccomend poolside restaurant food is very bland and saw numerous huge roaches running along floor. Main Restaurant very clean and excellent service. Food is much better here. Breakfast and Dinner served. Received massage from trained workers was a lifesaver. Very quiet easy to sleep and very peaceful. 98 stairs were deadly if you decide to drink at the poolside bar. Poolside entertainment was fun even won a bottle of Rum ! Overall average . Reminder Dont feed the Iguanas !
Wyndham Sugar Bay
Honeymooned at Wyndham Sugar Bay, end of October 2002. Had a fabulous time! The grounds are beautiful with three swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts and a small beach. This resort is all-inclusive, and the food is plentiful and delicious! Don't worry about the 98 steps that take you up from the pool to your room, there's a "safari" shuttle bus that's available every 5 minutes to transport you. Be sure to take a trip to Magens Bay beach, the most beautiful beach, I've seen! and it's only 15 minutes away from the resort. Be sure to take the ferry to St John and check out Trunk Bay beach, also awesome. The staff at Wyndham are friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back again.
Had a great time at Wyndham, St. Thomas
Ok folks, no more guessing. I went, I saw, etc. Just returned from a week in June, 2002. Wife & I had a great time. Here's the scoop:
- Had no problem with the 98 steps everyone is griping about. Hotel is in a hilly area: Hotel is up, beach & pool is .. well .. down.
- Located on east-northeast corner of St. Thomas with fabulus view of St. John.
- Taxis seem to be a bit pricy. $9 per person from Airport to Hotel, plus $1 for each piece of luggage. $7 or $8 per person to downtown for shopping, $4 per person to ferry to St. John. The Hotel folks aren't supposed to tell you about the $1 buss ride to anywhere out on the main road. I guess because their brother is Taxi driver, or something.
- Snorkled at Trunk Bay, St. John one day. Wasn't impressed. Snorkeled at Coki Beach, St. Thomas and very impressed. Water not as rough, water clearer, more fish, great place. Take Taxi money. If you go to St. John, go when ships are not in port to avoid crowds.
- Food was excellant. Felt pampered, and gained 5 pounds. Dinner choices are main dining up in Hotel, requires long pants and collar shirt (that's considered Dressing for dinner in Carrabean!) with sit down order from different menu every night. Casual dinner choice is buffet at restaurant near the pool. Both have excellant food, and nice variety. Couldn't get enough of their grilled fish (grouper, tuna, mahi, swordfish, kingfish, salmon)
- Drinks were way above average for all-inclusive. First of 3 I've been to with premium liquor included (Dewer's, Chivas, champagne, VO, etc). You have to ask for it, or you get bar brand. Lots of great frozen fruit drinks, have a ball.
- pool is very nice, three tied together by water fall, but water too cold for June. Felt like 65 to 70. Would have preferred 75 or so.
- Employee staff was generally friendly and helpful. I suspect some of the travelers who have complained of unfriendly staff are mistaking the tendancy of some staff not to smile while others smile very much. I think they don't mean to be rude, but reflects there culture of intimidation to each other, and they can't turn it off at work. They are still helpful even if they have a scoul of their face. Don't let it bother you, have a ball.
St. Thomas Sugar Bay, It's all good....really
This was my first and only experience with All-Inclusive. We were there for Christmas 2001. Impressive resort, very clean. The food was better than good. We have small children and for us convenience is paramount. There was a grill next to the pool that had hotdogs, hamburgers, mahi-mahi & chicken available everyday for lunch. For us, this was perfect. If you put on a cover-up from the pool, you could go to the buffet which had a large selection of main dishes, fruits and deserts. The bar is located at the pool (not a swim up)and the drinks were great. The liquor was top shelf (not watered down) there was a self serve section for pop and lemonade etc., which my 7 year old loved. Breakfast had anything and everything you could want. Dinner at the buffet restaurant, near the pool, was very good and dinner at the indoor restaurant (forgot name) was incredible. I was very impressed with the quality. Everyone was incredibly polite. Initally I was a little disapointed with the beach. It is a small private beach with lots of rock. It was clean and big enough to enjoy with the kids but certainly not spralling. The walk from the rooms to the pool area has 98 stairs. Thats right 98 stairs, and it was worth every step. Those stairs were my only real complaint but I enjoyed myself so much that I really couldn't care less about those stairs. I am very critical of how my money is spent. I would have to say that although I believe the resort is very pricey, it was a truly wonderful stay. I heard a couple staying there complain in the elevator because Sugar Bay didn't have as much to do as THE ATLANTIS. Never been to the Atlantis. Can't afford it. The pool is simple but was never over crowded. Snorkeling in the bay was fun but pretty uneventful (no fish). The waverun/snorkeling trip was worth every penny. Go early on your trip. If you like it as much as we did you'll want to cram as many of those trips in as you can. The ST.JOHN tour for us was a bore. Trunk Bay was great, St. John
d food just to ride around an island. Not for me. $75/per person wasted in my opinion. Didn't leave the resort for the nightlife. If you need lots of wild entertainment I can't offer any advice. The resort was perfect for us. Best of luck.

Macellaio Roberto Costa
Welcome to Macellaio Roberto Costa, kingdom of Italian Fassone beef in London. Macellaio Roberto Costa is the first butchery-restaurant opened in London. Our butchery inside the restaurant offers only products of excellence among which Fassona Piemontese meat, cheese, charcuterie and wine selected from the best Italian's Companies, preferring the Artisans of Taste rather than Food Industries. The meat selection takes place in 7 cowsheds, located between Monforte d'Alba, Serralunga, Roddi and Alba. Among the cheese stands out the Gorgonzola Tosi, produced in the city of Gattico (100litres of milk for 12kg of Gorgonzola). We strongly believe that to better interpret our profession you should never reach a compromise, quality above all. The welcome is the typical italian, like the one that was in the habit of the old Trattorie of 'Bel Paese', a warm familiar greeting and the willingness to provide the best service.

Buy this release - bit.ly/_goggles
Fred V & Grafix, the dynamic duo from Devon, present their debut solo single on Hospital. "Goggles" is a four-track EP featuring the full spectrum of their sound. The "Goggles" EP is fresh, fun and jam-packed with exciting, dancefloor-driven beats that should excite and unite D&B fans for 2013.
With its unassuming bleep intro, "Goggles" will no doubt take some by surprise with its subterranean sounds as bubbling bass and intricate arpeggios develop into the kind of aquatic frenzy you won't have witnessed since doing 50 metres butterfly at school. But wait, "Games People Play" ups the ante with a more recognisable Fred V & Grafix aesthetic - full of polished vocal glow, warm atmospherics, punchy drums and live guitar from Fred Vahrman himself.
Returning to a stripped back, contemplative tone and we have "Denmark Road" with its shimmying soundscape, shuffling breaks and murmuring Calibre-esque sweeps. Beware the epic "Basilisk" awaiting at the end of the EP. This monster has a hypnotizing intro, then bites deep, with a drop dominated by dense, contorting synth work. Awesome.

Collier joins 174 other pilot projects as part of the program designed to evaluate the new national uniform SITES rating system.
CLACKAMAS, Ore – Collier Arbor Care, the firm which provides pro bono care for Vancouver's "oldest apple tree in the Northwest" has been chosen to participate in an international pilot program testing the nation's rating system for green landscape design, construction and maintenance.
Collier's four-acre site is one of 175 other pilot projects from 34 states, Canada, Iceland and Spain as part of the program designed to evaluate the new national uniform Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) rating system for sustainable landscapes.
The SITES system will provide a road map leading to LEED certification for an overall site, expanding the green building rating systems beyond the buildings' skins.
Collier's initial site development included replanting, the creation of a conservation corridor along the creek and installation of bio-swales to collect run-off water from parking lots and the two buildings on the property.
Under the pilot program the firm will retrofit the property's irrigation system, redevelop the bio-swales into a rain garden and replant the conservation easement.
The firm also will use 100 percent organic products for weed and pest control and for plant maintenance and soil health.
"We're treating blackberries with vinegar and are using vinegar and soap products for weed control on the property. We're also using mulch, compost tea and organic fertilizer for plant maintenance and soil health," says Collier President Terrill Collier.
Although not part of the SITES project, Collier Arbor Care also is in the process of installing solar panels. It seeks an Eco-Biz designation from the Pollution Prevention Outreach team, a group of pollution prevention experts from seven agencies in the Portland metro area. Ultimately, Collier hopes to obtain LEED certification for the site.
Under the pilot project, Collier will be reducing landscape irrigation by 70 percent and replanting the conservation corridor with native shrubs to make it a mini-arboretum.
With the introduction of its organic-product based Plant Healthcare System 20 years ago, Collier has aimed at being a national leader in sustainability. During his recent term as chair of the national Tree Care Association, he initiated a sustainability task force.

Watch President Obama 'Shake It Off' in This Humorous Video

Much like Taylor Swift, the singer of the catchy tune 'Shake it Off,' President Barack Obama has had his share of critics. So, It's no surprise he's decided to "Shake it Off," too.
No one is immune from the selfie craze. And we mean no one.
Wow, this Deflategate scandal continues to get bigger and bigger.
Baracksdubs' latest presidential mashup is set to the Mark Ronson / Bruno Mars hit 'Uptown Funk'.
Joe Biden has decided it's time to get in on this whole selfie craze.
The future of America may be in trouble.
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.
While 'Lincoln' might not have taken home the Oscar for Best Picture, it was considered one of the best films of the year by many a critic, mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis' exceptional performance as Honest Abe. In light of the film's success, what is its director Steven Spielberg planning as a follow-up?
During Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama revealed the first behind-the-scenes footage from Spielberg's next project, 'Obama,' which re-teams him with...Day-Lewis in the title role? Take a look...
So apparently when YouTube star Kid President isn't busy giving us pep talks or taking over the White House he's busy doing one of the coolest things imaginable...meeting actual president Barack Obama.
The History Channel's representation of The Devil is causing controversy.
Many viewers of 'The Bible' have taken to social networks to point out similarities between the 10-part miniseries' Prince of Darkness and Pres. Obama.

I cant seem to install Rpy2 for python. Initially I ran across the problem where it displayed the following error.
Tried to guess R's HOME but no R command in the PATH.
But then I followed instructions in the following thread: trouble installing rpy2 on win7 (R 2.12, Python 2.5)
where by I placed and copied all the files in R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386 to the R\R-2.12.1\bin and then set my environment path to point to R\R-2.12.1. Now trying to install it from source again..
python setup.py run
I get the same error. If I set the path variable to R\R-2.12.1\bin\ then I get the following error as showed by the person who gave the second answer
ValueError: Invalid substring in string
That thread went out of ideas so I thought a year from now if there are new ways to work around this.
EDIT = once
Thanks in advance

Ridge Beam/ Stucco crumbling away
oneslipFebruary 15, 2008
I just noticed today that it looks like the roof ridge beam is pushing down on the stucco causing it to "bubble" out a bit and at one point a decent chunk of stucco has come loose and I can see the inner wood. I can fix the stucco but what is causing this. The house is close to 90 years old and on the other side of the roof it is fine but I can see there was some patch work on the stucco done in the same area but it looks fin. Any ideas or suggestions?

The ground meat for this kebab—I usually buy shoulder of lamb—should have a good amount of fat so that it remains moist and juicy. Most of it will melt away in the heat of the grill. You will need skewers with a thick, wide blade to hold the meat and prevent it from rolling around. Alternatively, it is easier and equally good to shape the meat into burgers. Serve them with Arab flat breads and accompany them with a salad and a choice of mezze.
1. Grate or finely chop the onion in the food processor, drain, and turn it into a bowl. Add the chopped parsley to the onion. Cut the meat into chunks, then blend it in the food processor to a soft paste, adding salt and pepper. Mix the meat paste with the parsley and onion, and knead with your hand until well blended.
2. Divide the meat into 8 balls and wrap each one around a skewer, pressing it firmly so that it holds together in a long, flat, sausage shape. Alternatively, flatten the balls into burgers. Place the skewers, or burgers, on the oiled grill of a barbecue, over the embers of a charcoal fire or on a rack under the broiler, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning them over once, until browned outside but still pink inside.

15 Minute Jobs?
I'm making a list of jobs, tasks, activities that can be done in 15 minutes and wondered if anyone here has had success trying to get in the habit of squeezing in small 15 minute jobs throughout the week? And what kind of jobs have you found easy to do in 15 minutes?
I've been looking at lists online and some suggestions seem un-doable to me. For instance, vacuuming ONE room. Yes, that is do-able, but if I'm going to pull out the vacuum, I'm going to get a significant amount done. And not do one room and have to drag it out 8 times in a week. Someone suggested giving a dog a bath in 15 minutes and I was just picturing the mess after I was done that would take another 15 minutes.
I'm thinking....
Clean out a drawer
Wash the glass on the storm door
Wash one double hung window
Take a walk
Clean out my email box for 15 mins
Most of these don't even take 15 minutes, but it's what popped into my head:
Shred receipts
wipe down kitchen appliances
quick wipe down of bathroom
file papers
sweep the kitchen
wipe down the kitchen chairs
sweep/get cobwebs off front porch
fold a load of laundry
Make your bed.
Clean the toilet
Clean the bathroom sink
Clean the kitchen sink
Empty the dishwasher
Dust a room (depending on what's in the room)
Clear off desk top
Wash the cat's food bowl
Hand launder unmentionables
Tidy a room (put everything away, take things that belong elsewhere to the room they belong)
Take stuff out of the freezer for dinner
Sort recycling
Go through 1 file folder and toss outdated papers
Load the dishwasher
Take out the garbage
Send a greeting card
Take the trash out of the car
Start a load of laundry
Change the bed
Plan clothes for tomorrow and set out, along with accessories
Make one lunch
Take donation bag/box and put into car
Pay a bill online
Call someone you love and tell them so
Make up a bank deposit

Supper is done!
Speaking of 15 minute increments for tackling small jobs, has anyone found a good timer besides the one on an appliance? Flylady's timer looks good, I especially appreciate the words "You can do anything for 15 minutes" on the timer, but would prefer a wind-up timer to an electronic one. However, I have found that these seem to break after a while.
My Westminister chiming mantle clock is the best thing I've got right now... I must admit that it's wonderful.
I can clean a fairly dirty kitchen in 15 minutes if the day is young... not so at nighttime which is an incentive to clean as I go or else I wake up to dinner dishes the next morning.
Thanks for any recommendations about timers!
What a great thread- and I too love using the timers. I have been amazed that one of my most dreaded tasks,(and I have no clue why but it irks me) is emptying the dishwasher and putting everything away. When I have timed it, it usually takes less than 5 minutes. (so now I don't hate it as much). Its funny because I used to procrastinate it and now I think oh its a nothing task.
I especiallylike the timer for sorting through things like photos or a drawer. You really can accomplish something in 15 minutes!!
Combined with the timer, I think it was flylady who also had a system where you would neaten by collecting a certain number of objects to either toss or put back in their correct places. (a nice one for me with reading materials, mail, stuff that "accumulates".)
cupofkindness, I've used a small digital timer in the past. I still have it. It is battery operated, and has a clip to attach it to your clothing or anywhere in a room to make it visible. It allows you to set it for 15 minutes or set it to start running at zero and shut it off when you are done to see how long something takes. I'm pretty sure I bought mine locally at a Target or such and it was about $5. I see they have a selection at Amazon. The link is for the one I have. I've used it for over 3 years, intermittently. I don't see the 'clip' part of it, but that is what the face of it looks like.
If you don't like the digital timer, all I can think of is an egg timer?

The present invention relates to a highly luminescent display cell.
Attempts have been made to develop a large-sized display device in which a large number of luminescent display cells are arranged to obtain a large screen. In this case, it is desired that each luminescent cell be formed thin as a whole and that a stable luminescence at a high luminance be ensured.
Where plural display segments are disposed within a single luminescent display cell, it is necessary that a selected display segment be made fully luminous, while an unselected display segment be rendered non-luminous with a high degree of confidence.
For example, in a highly luminescent display cell having a plurality of luminescent display segments, a plurality of cathodes and control electrodes are disposed in corresponding relation to each segment. A common accelerating electrode is also provided. The display segments are rendered luminous selectively by controlling the voltage applied to the control electrodes. It is possible that when one display segment is made luminous, another display segment adjacent thereto will also be made luminous by secondary electrons. In such a display cell, moreover, in order to obtain a high luminance, it is desirable to construct the cell so that the electron beam impinges upon the entire surface of a phosphor layer of a display segment.
In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention provides a novel luminescent display cell which is thin and ensures a stable luminescence at a high luminance which is capable of preventing with certainty an erroneous display caused by secondary electrons, and which allows the electron beam to impinge upon the entire surface of a selected display segment.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a luminescent display cell having a plurality of luminescent display segments to which is applied a high voltage, a plurality of cathodes and control electrodes (first grids) disposed in corresponding relation to each segment, and a common accelerating electrode (second grid) disposed between the display segments and the control electrodes. The voltage of each control electrode is controlled to render each segment selectively luminous.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a luminescent display cell having a plurality of luminescent display segments to which is applied a high voltage, a plurality of cathodes and control electrodes disposed in corresponding relation to each segment, a common accelerating electrode disposed between the display segments and the control electrodes, and a separator supplied with the above high voltage. The separator is disposed in surrounding relation to each segment.
Furthermore, with the invention a diffusion lens is formed permitting the electron beam to be radiated to the entire surface of a selected display segment.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail hereafter with reference to the drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, which are a front view of a luminescent display cell embodying the invention, a sectional view taken on line A--A thereof, a sectional view taken on line B--B thereof, and a partially cut-away perspective view of the cell, the reference numeral 1 denotes a glass envelope comprising a front panel 1A, a rear plate 1B and a side wall 1C. Within the glass envelope 1 are disposed a plurality of luminescent display segments 2 (2R, 2G, 2B), a plurality of cathodes K (KR, KG, KB) and first grids G1 (G1R, G1G, G1B) in corresponding relation to each display segment, and a common second grid (accelerating electrode) G2. The display segments 2 each comprise a phosphor layer formed on the inner surface of the front panel lA. There are formed three display segments 2R, 2G, and 2B for the luminescence of red, green and blue, respectively. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 5, a carbon layer 3 as a conductive layer is printed in the form of a frame on the inner surface of the front panel. In spaces in the frame, red, green and blue phosphor layers 2R, 2G and 2B are formed by printing as display segments so as to partially overlap the carbon layer 3. Throughout the surfaces of these phosphor layers a metal back layer 5 is formed, e.g. an aluminum layer, through a filming layer 4. Furthermore, in opposed relation to the display segments 2R, 2G and 2B comprising the above phosphor layers and inside the rear panel 1B wire cathodes KR, KG and KB are positioned, first grids G1R, G1G and G1B opposite these wire cathodes, and the second grid G2 in common to the three first grids G1R, G1G and G1B. Each wire cathode K is formed, for example, by coating the surface of a tungsten heater with carbonate as an electron emissive material. The wire cathodes KR, KG and KB are each stretched between a pair of conductive support members 6 and 7 which are disposed on both side portions of the rear panel 1B. One support member 6 is for fixing one end of each wire cathode, while the other supporr member 7 is provided with a spring portion 7a to which is fixed the other end of each wire cathode. According to this arrangement, an even extension of the wire cathode due to a rise of the temperature would be absorbed by the spring portion 7a, and thus the wire cathode never becomes loose. The first grids G1R, G1G and G1B are formed in a half-cylindrical shape having a cylindrical surface in corresponding relation to the wire cathodes and a plurality of slits 8 are formed in the cylindrical surface at a predetermined pitch along the longitudinal direction of the same surface. The slits 8 are for the transmission therethrough of electrons radiated from the wire cathode K. The second grid G2 is formed with slits 9 in portions corresponding to the first grids G1R, G1G and G1B and in positions corresponding to the slits 8 of the first grids. In this case, slit portions 9R, 9G and 9B of the second grid G2 may be formed so as to have cylindrical surfaces concentric with the corresponding first grids G1R, G1G and G1B. In this construction, electron beams from the wire cathodes are radiated rectilinearly through the slits 8 and 9 of the first and second grids and are spread with respect to the longitudinal direction of the slits. On the other hand, the portions of the second grid in which are formed the slits 9 may be horizontal as shown in FIG. 6. In this case, the electron beam is radiated so that it passes through the second grid and then is curved somewhat inwardly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the slits, as shown in dotted line 30'.
On the other hand, a separator 10 formed of a conductive material is disposed to surround the display segments 2R, 2G and 2B. The separator 10 not only serves as a shield for preventing a secondary electron 31 (see FIG. 6) induced by impingement of electron beam from cathode against the first or second grid G1 or G2 from rendering an adjacent display segment luminous, but also serves to form a diffusion lens which functions to spread electron beam 30 from each wire cathode K so that the electron beam is radiated throughout the corresponding display segment 2. In addition, the separator 10 is used also as power supply means for supplying a high voltage, e.g. 10 KV, to each display segment. In assembling, the separator 10 is supported between the front panel lA and side wall 1C of the glass envelope 1 and fixed by frit. More specitically, as shown in FIG. 7, the separator 10 is in the form of a frame partitioned in threes to surround the display segments, and on first opposed upper ends thereof are formed outwardly projecting supporting pieces 11, while on the other opposed upper ends are formed anode leads 12 for the supply of high voltage (anode voltage). Furthermore, on the side portions of the separator 10 are formed outwardly bent elastic positioning pieces 13. When the separator 10 is inserted from above in the inner wall 1C, as shown in FIG. 8, the supporting pieces 11 abut the upper end face of the side wall 1C to thereby support the separator, and at the same time the bent portions 13 abut the inner surface of the side wall 1C to thereby position the separator in central fashion. Also provided on the upper end portion of the separator 10 are inwardly bent lugs 14 each having a projection formed on the surface thereof. When the front panel 1A is placed and sealed on the side wall 1C after enclosing the separator 10 in the side wall, the projections 15 contact the carbon layer 3 or the metal back layer 5 (see FIG. 9). As a result, the high voltage from the anode leads 12 is fed in common to the display segments 2R, 2G and 2B. In an assembled state, the anode leads 12 to which is applied the high voltage are drawn out to the exterior through the sealed portion between the front panel 1A and the upper end face of the side wall 1C, while the leads of the wire cathodes K, first grid G1, and second grid G2 are drawn out to the exterior through a sealed portion between the rear plate 1B and the side wall 1C. The leads of the cathodes K, first grids G1, and second grid G2 are brought out together for supporting purposes. For example, in each of the first grids G1R, G1G and G1B, two leads on each side, namely, a total of four leads on both sides, are brought out as leads 16G1, 17G1, and 18G1. In the case of the second grid G2, four leads 19G2 are brought out corresponding to the four corners of the rear panel. Leads 20F of the cathodes K are brought out together to the right and left from both support members 6 and 7. The leads 20F of the cathodes are connected in common for each of the support members 6 and 7. Also with respect to each of the first and second grids G1 and G2, the corresponding leads are connected in common.
The glass envelope 1 is provided by sealing the front panel 1A, side wall 1C and rear plate 1B with respect to each other by frits 22. To the rear plate 1B is a chip-off pipe 21 for gas exhaust fixed by frits.
Operation of the above construction will now be explained. An anode voltage of, say, 10 kV or so is supplied through the anode leads 12 to the red, green and blue display segments 2R, 2G and 2B. To each of the first grids G1R, G1G and G1B is applied a voltage of, say, 0-10V, while to the second grid G2 is applied a voltage of, say, 30-50V. The wire cathodes KR, KG and KB are of 80-120 mW or so per wire. In this construction, the anode side and the second grid G2 are fixed in voltage, while the voltage applied to the first grids G1 is changed to turn on and off the display segments selectively. More particularly, when OV is applied to a first grid G1, an electron beam from cathode K is cut off and the corresponding display segment 2 is not rendered luminous. When, say, 5V is applied to a first grid G, an electron beam from cathode K passes through the first grid G1, then is accelerated by the second grid G2 and impinges upon the phosphor of the corresponding display segment 2 to make the latter luminous. At this time, the luminance is controlled by controlling the pulse width (duration) of the voltage (5V) applied to the first grid G1. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the electron beam from cathode K is spread by the separator 10 and radiated to the entire surface of the display segment 2. When the electron beam from the cathode impinges upon the first and second grids, there are produced the secondary electrons 31 from these grids, but these secondary electrons are obstructed by the separator 10, so they do not impinge upon the adjacent display segment 2. In this way, by selectively controlling the voltage applied to the first grids, the display segments 2R, 2G and 2B are rendered luminous selectively at a high luminance.
This luminescent display cell 40 is constructed in thin fashion as a whole. Besides, the low voltage-side leads such as the cathode and first and second grid leads are drawn out from the rear plate 1B side of the glass envelope 1, while the high voltage-side anode leads 12 are drawn out from the front panel 1A side. Therefore, possible dangers during discharge and wiring can be avoided, thus ensuring a stable luminescent display.
Moreover, since the anode voltage-applied separator 10 surrounds each display segment 2, a diffusion lens is formed by the separator 10. Therefore, even if only the first grids G1 are curved and the second grid G2 is flat (as shown in FIG. 6), the electron beam from cathode K spreads laterally (in the direction of the slits) and is radiated to the entire surface of the display segment 2. At the same time, the secondary electron from the first or second grid is obstructed by the separator 10, so the adjacent cut-off segment is not rendered luminous.
In the case of a color display (for example, in the case of a 9300� K white screen), the luminance mixing ratio is about 7% blue, about 13% red, and about 80% green. In the case where wire cathodes are used as an electron emission source, they are in many cases used in a temperature restriction area in order to maintain their service life. And the problem of making the luminance of the green cathode higher than that of the other cathodes can be solved by increasing the number used. For example two green cathodes KG, one red cathode KR, and one blue cathode KB may be used. As a result, the total amount of electrons for green becomes larger than that for red and blue, thus making it possible to effect a color display. It goes without saying that red and blue cathodes may also be used in plural numbers, which is effective in prolonging their service life. Thus, by increasing the number of green cathodes in comparison with the other cathodes, the luminance can be enhanced and a good white balance is obtainable. Consequently, an excessive load is not imposed on the cathodes, that is, the life of the luminescent display cell can be prolonged. Actually, two green cathodes are disposed in spaced relation at a distance of about 0.8 to 1 mm. As to the amount of electrons emitted, an increase of 70 to 80% can be expected though it does not become twice as large as that in the case of a single green cathode due to the electron scattering effect. Alternatively, the green luminance may be enhanced by making the area of the green phosphor layer larger than of the red and blue phosphor layers.
Since the wire cathodes are used in the temperature restriction area, that is, the loadingof the oxide cathode is set at a ratio of one to several tens to prevent a red-looking appearance, the amount of electrons emitted per cathode is small. One method for solving this problem may be to substantially enlarge the surface area of oxide by winding a tungsten wire spirally, for example. But, in the case of a long spiral, it is likely that there will occur loosening or vibration of the cathode. In view of this point, such a construction as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is suggested.
In this example, a core 35 formed of a high-temperature material such as, for example, tungsten or molybdenum, is provided and its surface is coated with an insulating material such as Al2 O3. Then tungsten wire 37 serving as a heater is wound spirally thereon and an electron emissive material 38, e.g. carbonate, is bonded to the spiral portion by spraying or electrodeposition to constitute a direct heating cathode 34. The core 35 is fixed at one end thereof to one support member 6 and at the other end thereof to the spring portion 7a of the other support member 7 by spot welding or other suitable means, it being stretched under tension. The tungsten wire is fixed between one support member 6 and a second support member 6' on the other side by spot welding or other suitable means.
Thus, in the above construction, the cathode is wound spirally onto the core 35 coated with the insulating material 36, and the core 35 is stretched by the spring portion, whereby problems such as shorting between spiral portions and thermal deformation of the spiral can be eliminated. Besides, the oxide surface area is substantially increased, and a uniform temperature distribution area (A) with reduced temperature difference between both ends and the center of the cathode becomes wider. As a result, the amount of electrons emitted can be increased, and as a whole, therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of allowable current per cathode. The curve I in FIG. 11 represents a temperature distribution.
The display cell 40 described above is incorporated in plural numbers, say, 24 in a unit case 41 to constitute one unit. Further, by arranging a large number of such units, a jumbo-size picture display device is provided. In mounting such plural display cells to the unit case, the cells are fixed to the case by molding with resin or the like. However, the anode voltage of the display cell is as high as about 10 kV, so if the fixing is incomplete, the display cell may become separated upon application of power from the surface, or the application of a liquid for removing stain or the like on the surface side. A change in conditions may also cause such trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the display cells firmly to the unit case. For this purpose, each display cell 40 is formed so that the front panel 1A of the glass envelope 1 overhangs outwardly beyond the side wall 1C. In this case, the front panel 1A may overhang throughout the circumference as shown in FIG. 13A, or it may overhand only in one direction as shown in FIG. 13B. On the other hand, the unit case 41 is constructed as shown in FIG. 14, that is, plural (24 in the illustrated embodiment) window holes 43 are formed in a front plate 42 of the unit case 41 in opposed relation to the display cells 40, and a stepped portion 44 in which is to be fitted the marginal portion of the front panel 1A of each display cell is formed in the back of the marginal portion of each window hole 43. The display cell 40 is fitted in the back of the front plate 42 so that its front panel 1A faces the window hole 43, and then is fixed from the back by the use of a fixing member 45 such as a resin mold or the like. In this case, since the front panel 1A overhangs outwardly as an overhang portion 50, this overhang portion is held between the fixing member 45 and the front plate 42 of the unit case, and thus, as a whole, the display cell 40 is fixed firmly to the unit case 41. If necessary, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, there may be provided a retaining piece 53 which is rotatable about a shaft 52 to hold the overhang portion 50 of the front panel 1A of each display cell between it and the front plate 42 of the unit case. Subsequent fixing with resin mold or the like will further ensure the fixing of the display cell. Since the display cell is of a high luminance, the front panel side with phosphor layers applied thereto is apt to become high in temperature, so it is necessary to cool it, for example, with liquid. For this purpose, at the time of mounting each display cell to the unit case, a packing 54, e.g. silicone rubber, is interposed between the stepped portion 44 of the front plate 42 of the unit case and the front panel 1A, and a transparent plate 55 formed of polycarbonate or other material is disposed thereabove, and the space formed by the transparent plate 55, the front panel IA and the window hole 43 of the unit case is filled with a cooling liquid 56. In this case, the front plate 42 of the unit case is formed with cooling liquid introducing slots 57 communicating with the window holes 43.
Although the display cell having three luminescent display segments of red, green, and blue has been described above, the present invention is applicable also to a display cell in which plural luminescent display segments are arranged in the form of a pattern representing a character, numeral, or the like. For example, plural luminescent display segments are arranged in the form of an 8 and a common anode potential is applied thereto. Furthermore, plural cathodes and plural first grids are arranged in opposed relation to the display segments, and a common second grid is disposed between the first grids and the display segments. A desired display segment is rendered luminous selectively by controlling the voltage applied to the first grids.
According to the present invention described hereinabove, a highly luminescent display cell can be obtained easily, and in this case both a stable operation and a thin construction as a whole are attainable. Therefore, a very large display device can be easily provided by arranging a plurality of such display cells.
Moreover, since the separator supplied with the same high voltage as that applied to the display segments is positioned to surround the plural display segments, a diffusion lens is formed whereby an electron beam from the cathode is spread laterally and radiated to the entire surface of each display segment. Consequently, it is possible to make a display at a high luminance. Furthermore, by the presence of the separator, secondary electrons from a control electrode or accelerating electrode are obstructed, not rendering the adjacent cut-off display segment luminous, and thus a stable luminescent display can be effected.
Although various minor changes and modifications might be proposed by those skilled in the art, it will be understood that we wish to include within the claims of the patent warranted hereon all such changes and modifications as reasonably come within our contribution to the art.

30 year old woman | Arlington, VA, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 30 miles
Everything you've ever wanted is one step outside of your comfort zone.
I am an out-going, genuine, hard-working gal who enjoys spending time with friends and trying 'new' things. I have a hard time not finding SOME common ground with the most difficult of conversationalists and am not easily intimidated. As a matter of fact, I relish in challenging social situations. I could sit here for hours and construct my profile so it says what conventional wisdom says you want to hear...or I can just be honest because I tend to be a terrible liar in the first place. I am one of the few people who was actually born and raised in the DC area, which means I have been rooting for the Caps and the Nats way before it was cool to do so, and love spending time in the city. I feel extremely blessed to have my family relatively close by, and really enjoy Sunday dinners with my family. (Who doesn't love their mom's cooking?!?) I believe in the cliche work hard and play hard. I take my job and my career seriously, but when I am not working, I'm not working--I'm out living. I am also known to enjoy 'living' with a cocktail, diet coke or iced coffee in hand. My workout philosophy is similar--work hard during the week and try to enjoy myself (and usually some Mexican food) on the weekends. I am fiercely loyal. If you are in my circle/on my team, I will always have your back. My family and friends mean the world to me, and it is important to me that any potential partner appreciate this quality. Sadly, I am not as well traveled as I would like to be. I enjoy traveling but haven't had many opportunities to do so...I am hoping to change this. I think there is nothing more enhancing and worthwhile than traveling and exploring other cultures. With that being said, my absolute favorite place is anywhere there is a beach. There is just something about the sand and the ocean that melts all my cares away. I am also a bit of a news junkie--I watch a lot of news and enjoy talking about what is going on around the the world. No topic is ever off limits as long as you can handle a girl with an opinion who doesn't give in easily. Just because you are good looking and/or charming does not mean I have to agree with you ;) Plus, I always enjoy hearing the other side of the argument. I also feel technology is slowly destroying human relationships and interaction....(interesting point of view since I am on an internet dating site....) and try to disconnect when I can, especially on weekends. Life is too short to spend it on your smartphone. I believe in face to face conversations, phone calls and handwritten Thank-You notes over text messages, emails and Facebook posts. I also tend to prefer Country music, but I realize that's not for everyone. I am looking for a nice, respectful, and trustworthy person to spend my free time with--whether it is out on the town or at home on the couch....Someone who isn't intimidated by my drive and personal aspirations, and also has goals for themselves. Most importantly....someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously ;)

Good bright medium red. Musky aromas of cherry, duck sauce, smoke and five-spice powder. Supple, sweet and fine-grained, with moderate complexity to the currant, plum and licorice flavors. This pliant, round, easy-drinking merlot finishes with tongue-dusting tannins and late notes of mocha and tobacco.

Clos de Tart 2012
I've been lucky to try a few vintages of this unique Grand Cru Monopole and this 2012 surely rates as one of the absolute best.
What makes this particular wine - and many of the recent vintages - so very good is the polish and perfection. There's not a single hair out of place, the meticulousness reflected in every way. You get the impression that the vineyard is perfectly manicured and the sorting table staffed constantly - It's quite new-world in its spotless health.
I actually tasted this amongst a mixed bag of other 2012 Burgundy and it looked quite different - more purple coloured, for a start. The nose is noticeably whole bunchy, with spicy, raspberry and white pepper, if a bit closed. It's the palate where the magic happens though, with an unmatched velvety flow of red plum fruit and ultra fine fine tannins. It feels sorted, perfect and well, perfectly delicious.
At first I thought this was too perfect actually. Too clean. But the closer you look, the longer it lingers, the more you can't help but marvel at this.
It's still too youthful to be at its peak, but this is legendary wine.
Stunning. The score may even end up higher.
Details: Cork, $950
