Inyo County lost a long-time public servant and well respected community member Tuesday afternoon.
Born Oct. 20, 1946, retired Inyo County Superior Court Judge Patrick Canfield passed away shortly before noon Tuesday of apparent cardiac arrest.
A life-long athlete with a passion for football and rugby, Canfield graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1964. He went on to study at Stanford University, where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He also spent a year studying abroad on StanfordŌĆÖs Florence, Italy campus in 1966.
Canfield earned his law degree from Hastings School of Law in San Francisco, graduating in 1971.
From there he opened a private practice in his home town of Santa Barbara before taking a position as a deputy district attorney in the Fresno County D.A.ŌĆÖs office in 1972.
In 1974 Canfield moved to the Eastern Sierra to take a Deputy D.A. position under D.A. Frank Fowles. During his time at the Inyo County D.A.ŌĆÖs Office, Canfield worked under Fowels and D.A. ŌĆ£BuckŌĆØ Gibbons.
In 1981, when Canfield was 35 years old, he was appointed by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors to serve as a Justice Court Judge. Over the years, Canfield helped guide Inyo courts through a reorganization of the court system that eliminated the Justice Court Judge position and changed that position to the Municipal Court Judge. Eventually, the Municipal Court Judge was renamed the Superior Court Judge.
Over the course of his career as an Inyo County judge, Canfield was reelected several times without opposition.
Retired District Attorney Phil McDowell, who began work in the Inyo D.A.ŌĆÖs Office at about the same time as Canfield, said he was close with the judge over the years. ŌĆ£He was a popular judge, well respected. He never had any of his decisions challenged,ŌĆØ McDowell said, explaining that Canfield leaves behind a legacy ŌĆ£and tradition of fairness, even-handedness. He was unflappable. When you went into his court you knew he had total control. But he was calm in his demeanor. ItŌĆÖs a subtle trait, calm confidence.ŌĆØ
McDowell and current D.A. Tom Hardy said that Canfield had an extensive knowledge of the law, which he applied in both his career as a prosecutor and as a judge. ŌĆ£He did very well as a prosecutor for nine years. He seemed to enjoy both jobs,ŌĆØ McDowell said, adding that CanfieldŌĆÖs ascension from prosecutor to judge was result of his drive to serve the community. ŌĆ£He did it for the best of reasons,ŌĆØ McDowell said.
Hardy said Canfield was a well-respected colleague and mentor to him personally. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs probably one of the most important people in my professional life,ŌĆØ Hardy said. ŌĆ£When I was assistant D.A. in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he handled the criminal calendar (as a Superior Court Judge) and I worked with him almost every day. As far as IŌĆÖm concerned, he was one of the finest and most honorable judges I ever encountered. He was an absolute professional and it was always an honor to be in court with him.ŌĆØ
Canfield retired in 2002, but continued to serve as a part-time assigned judge. McDowell said he worked mostly in Inyo and Mono counties, but also traveled throughout the state when needed.
In recent years Canfield joined the Board of Trustees of the Donald M. Slager ŌĆō Sunset Foundation, which provides scholarships to local students each year, and he was very involved in the United Methodist Church MenŌĆÖs Group. He was also a longtime member of the Bishop Rotary Club.
Canfield leaves behind his wife, Dori; three children and their spouses, grandchildren and a grateful community.
ŌĆ£He will be terribly missed,ŌĆØ Hardy said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just hard to believe heŌĆÖs not going to be around anymore.
McDowell agreed. ŌĆ£All of us, whether we were friends or we knew him professionally, will miss him very much,ŌĆØ he said.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.
Sep 28, 2007
NetworkedPlanet, a vendor of information management tools and products, launched its new TMCore SharePoint Module 2.0, which enables users to take all documents within SharePoint and connect them with key business concepts. This allows any business that has implemented a Microsoft SharePoint system to enhance search and navigation by taking into account contextual information, such as the user, projects they work on, and their personal skill-set. The TMCore system manages concepts instead of text indexes, which help to qualify the relevance of the documents that search terms are found in, and delivers relevant links to other SharePoint information. The TMCore SharePoint Module 2.0 is intended to allow users to search documents laterally, on the basis of themes and concepts that link them. It automatically classifies documents by content types and tags them with key themes, and then users can enhance and refine the classification of individual documents as they work with them, making their classification of documents available to other users.

Posted by Reviewer1046814 on Sep 05, 2010
After having a Kidney removed 3 years ago,I now suffer daily from fluid retention all over my body. which can put me up 3 dress sizes in a day The pressure has caused leaching veins, and I now have a lot of surface veins and some varicose veins appearing. It is worse when it's hot or humid, & I live in Perth, Western Australia and we have scorching summers. I feel embarrassed to wear Togs to the beach. However it seems I may have discovered my saving grace with Diosmin. I have been taking it for about 3 weeks, 2 in morning & 1 at bedtime with plenty of water! I am so happy with the difference they have made. Fluid retention is down to mimimum and there it a distinct improvement in the veins, they almost look normal now, and an added bonus is that I am not getting up so much in the night as the fluid desperses much more evenly throughout the day, so it is improving my sleep too. I have also recommended them to a friend for piles to see it they can help, better than another operation! I am re-odering more now. Full marks for quick delivery too, 6 days to the door. I am very happy with IHERB on all counts so far. Thanks :))

This is a great product! It has reduced my spider veins by 75%, but I do have to mention that I take about twice the recommended dose, and when I don't take it, the veins come back....also I no longer have leg pain, which was becoming a big issue for me....so I really suggest you try this product!

Wednesday 1 Apr 2015
By The Art Newspaper. Web onlyPublished online: 25 June 2014
The artist's name on everyone's lips this week is Koons. His retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York—the last show organised in the Midtown Breuer building before the museum moves into its new home in the Meatpacking District—opens on Friday, 27 June, and his monumental Split-Rocker flower sculpture in Rockefeller Plaza is unveiled to the public today. Meanwhile, his revealing spread in Vanity Fair kept tongues wagging for weeks. And things are unlikely to quieten down, since the Whitney's show is due to travel to the Centre Pompidou, Paris in November and the Museo Guggenheim, Bilbao, in summer 2015. While the art world cannot seem to stop talking about Koons, what does it think about his work? During his last major survey in 2012, at the Fondation Beyeler, Basel, our editor-at-large Georgina Adam took a critical look at the Neo-Pop artist's "seesaw" market, and found that his prices at auction could be just as disparate as the reactions to his kitsch-inspired art.

Sources: Budweiser to sponsor Kahne in '08
Updated: September 14, 2007, 9:02 AM ETBy Terry Blount and David Newton | ESPN.com
As expected, Budweiser will become the primary sponsor for Kasey Kahne and the No. 9 Dodge in 2008, sources confirmed Thursday.Gillett Evernham Motorsports officials will make the announcement Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET at team headquarters in Statesville, N.C. Mike Accavitti, the director of Dodge Brand and SRT Marketing, did not confirm the move to Budweiser. But he did confirm that the Dodge logo will not be on the hood of Kahne's car. "During the past seven years, the Dodge family has grown to multiple teams with multi-car operations. That's created new opportunities and challenges for Dodge as we focus on the future and our goal of winning races and competing for the championship in NASCAR's premier series. "Additional sponsorship support of the No. 9 Dodge Avenger, driven by Kasey Kahne, in 2008 gives Dodge the opportunity to redirect valuable resources toward the challenges facing all our teams. We welcome the new partnership and look forward to working with Gillett Evernham Motorsports toward the goal we share with all teams in the Dodge family, the Nextel Cup." Accavitti said the move does not change Dodge's commitment to the series. "We now have the opportunity to apply additional resources to areas that can directly impact the on-track performance of all our teams and expand marketing opportunities for our dealers." Team owners George Gillett, Ray Evernham and Kahne will attend the news conference, along with Budweiser officials. The deal for Budweiser to sponsor Kahne has been in the works for more than two months. GEM officials first had to make sure Dodge representatives were OK with the change. The Dodge dealers sponsor two GEM cars -- Kahne and the No. 19 driven by Elliott Sadler. Finalizing the deal with Budweiser also took longer than expected because all the parties had to agree on the percentages for licensing revenues. Kahne has personal sponsorship agreements with Allstate Insurance and the Vitamin Water energy drink. It's not known if the new multiyear association with Budweiser will affect either of those deals. Budweiser has been the primary sponsor for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the No. 8 Chevrolet at Dale Earnhardt Inc. since 2000, his rookie season in Nextel Cup. But Earnhardt announced earlier this year that he would have new sponsors for his first season at Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. Hendrick officials and Earnhardt are holding a news conference Wednesday in Dallas to announce his new sponsors and his new car number. Terry Blount and David Newton are contributors to ESPN's NASCAR coverage.

Cabin fever & another album...
Brrrr....it's cold here in Wisconsin...and I was inspired by the albums posted here to add my own contribution to the warding off of winter doldrums. It's been so wonderful seeing the other member's gardens and they help me to feel as if spring isn't so far away. There's a lot of pics (I sorta got carried away) and I hope you enjoy some of them.
click on picture
Love all of your flowers and remember seeing your quarry garden sometime back. It is beautiful and I can only imagine the work that went into that project. You and your family did a fantastic job. No wonder you are looking forward to spring.
Thank you so very much for posting your photo album ! I was near to shaking with excitememt when I opened your folder and saw you had so many photos to look at, BLESS YOU !!
I love your hosta gardens, so much color and textures to look at. I also love the way you've incorporated so many evergreen conifers and grasses into your landscape so your gardens are beautiful year round, and your rock work is simply amazing. It makes your garden look like it's been there forever. Your quarry pics are fasinating, it shows just how labor intensive and time consuming landscaping can be, not to mention expensive ! Thanks so much for sharing your photos. I'm giddy like a little school girl !
Thank you Flower Lady & jerriedee, I'm very glad you enjoyed the albums. I've been having so much fun looking at all the pictures on the forum here; it's wonderful to see gardens from different zones with plants I surely can't grow here in Wisconsin. Thank you for the inspiration! karen
These photos are breathtaking! It really does my soul good to see these. I am about to go crazy couped up inside.
I love the flower combos and the immaculate curved beds. I bet a weed doesn't stand a chance in your gardens! Thanks so much
for giving me this brief reprieve from winter!
I am in awe of your gardens!!! Where in Wisconsin are you? I am in Brookfield. Do you do summer tours? Thanks for sharing=)

TL;DR – "Won't someone please think of the children!"
Amid the fear, there's been little discussion on what constitutes AI, and how it might look completely different to Skynet.
It's probably true that every generation thinks it'll be the last, and I fully admit there are some damn legit reasons for that cry currently brewing.
Artificial intelligence will continue developing, likely at a faster rate than we have ever seen before, but theories vary when it comes to specifics. Here's how the world's best scientists see the next half a decade or so playing out in the world of AI.
A Saul Goodman algorithm with added social conscience.
Scores of leading thinkers sign their name to letter calling for tighter controls on a future filled with robots.
Think you're the next Phil Ivey? Negreanu got nothing on you? See what Cepheus has to say about that.
The social network's top minds want to build software that can do anything from read your status updates to warn you when you're about to upload an embarrassing picture.
Cue footage of magicians marching in protest of robots taking their jobs.
Worried about "digital super intelligences" escaping into the internet, like in a film from the late 1990s.
Amazon's Echo is like having the internet on your kitchen table, cracking jokes and settling bets, and it's the most innovative device Amazon's made in years.
First computer-aided effort is already aiming to ape writing of the award's namesake.
That's provided they don't think it's a great idea to kill us all out of fear, or just because they went crazy.
Seems a bit weird to be honest, robots are creepy as hell.
On their own these robots aren't very clever, but throw a bunch of them together and they'll demonstrate some seriously complex behaviour

For those that have not had the benefit of being raised with Southern Folk stories- from the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler- the above refers to Br'er Rabbit, having been caught by Br'er Fox, convinces him to throw him into the brier patch by begging him not to. The rabbit, of course, was born and bred in the brier patch. So, does this ramble mean that C3 got into the cognac early this week? nope- but he has a huge grin on his face.
Yesterday, I was advised that my company has a layoff of 40 technical staff, and I am one of them. Oh PUH-LEASE- Don't throw me in dat brier patch!
They have kindly offered me 7 months pay, pay for all accrued vacation, and continuation of all benefits for a like period. However, some genius overlooked that I am eligible for retirement at this time. Bottom line? I draw 7 months, lump sum, THEN start to draw retirement pay.
But wait- there's more! 2 weeks ago, I was contacted by another group that wants me to come work for them. They have offered $10K more than my current salary, comparable bennies, a $10K signing bonus, and a 3 year contract. PUH-LEEZE! Don't throw me in dat brier patch! Job starts in 2 months!
So I get a couple of months to do yard work, get the boat out of mothballs, go to the range, then go back to work. My grandkids will be getting 6 months of my pay tucked into their college funds.
Now, if you will excuse me, I got to go find that bottle of cognac. Yowzah!

|ESPN.com: Boxing
|[Print without images]
""Good morning everybody. Just want to thank you for showing me so much love," Mosley tweeted. "Had a great career and loved every moment of it, win, lose or draw." Later, Mosley confirmed that he was indeed hanging up the gloves after a 19-year career that will likely land him in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. "I'm going to leave it alone," Mosley, 40, told ESPN.com of fighting. "I'm good. I'm going into the promotional world, I'm training my son [21-year-old amateur Shane Mosley Jr.]. It was a helluva career. I'm happy for all the great memories and all the great fighters that I fought. Now it's time give back. I'm ready to train my son full-time now." Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs) said he knew it was time to retire after losing to Alvarez. "That's life, that's getting older," he said. "When you get older, you see what happens. You think you can do things. You see stuff that you think you can do, that you want to do, but you just can't do it anymore." Mosley had the audacity to carry the moniker "Sugar" like greats Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard before him. While Mosley didn't match their legendary careers, he had a great one. He won five world titles in three weight classes, had a career-defining welterweight championship victory against Oscar De La Hoya in 2000 and was for a time in the early 2000s widely considered the No. 1 fighter in the world. "I have to credit a lot of those wins to [the late] Genaro Hernandez and Zack Padilla," Mosley said. "They were both world champions fighters and they sparred with me every day and molded me into the fighter I was. So did my father [Jack, who also trained him for most of his career]. I owe a lot to him. "Being recognized as pound-for-pound, especially when Roy Jones was there at that time, was an honor. To be considered in the same breath as Roy was great for me. Not many people can say they were the pound-for-pound best, but I'm one of those people."
That's life, that's getting older. When you get older, you see what happens. You think you can do things. You see stuff that you think you can do, that you want to do, but you just can't do it anymore." -- "Sugar" Shane Mosley on his
decision to retire
|"Sugar" Shane Mosley, who was once widely deemed the world's No. 1 boxer and won five titles in three classes, is calling it quits after a 19-year career.

Rachel Nichols has expressed hopes that her sci-fi series Continuum will continue past its fourth season.
Continuum – which stars Nichols as time-traveller Kiera – will premiere its third season tomorrow night on Syfy.
"In season three, we build the story and the idea of time travel," the actress told Digital Spy. "[There's] different timelines and people coming from different timelines – everything's going to get more complicated, but in the best sense of the word."
A fourth and final season of Continuum – spanning six episodes – will start shooting in March for a late 2015 broadcast in Canada, but Nichols told DS that she remains "optimistic" about the show's future.
"I'd like to see the fourth season be such an incredible success that maybe we can get a little bit more out of it," she admitted. "Maybe there are some legs to it somewhere else and I think that the fans would be in support of that.
"I know that we're gonna do everything possible to make season four even more electric and thought-provoking than prior seasons, so of course I'd like to be optimistic and think that perhaps this isn't the end."

Nichols added that she was "disappointed" with the decision to wrap up Continuum but "very grateful" that the series was granted its final six episodes.
"I don't want the story to end and I know there's so much more to be told," she explained. "I know the show creator Simon Barry has so much more in his head that he could do with the show for years to come, but those aren't the decisions that I get to make.
"But at least we're being given a chance to give the show the proper end it deserves, and give the fans answers to at least some of their questions… I can't promise that all of their questions will be answered!"

After a long time of looking and trying to find things I can at last add all my "The Inside" photos onto the site. I have 9 Episode Stills and one of them in from the Unaired Pilot. Cast promos again one of the cast of the Unaired Pilot and a on Set Interview that Rachel. I hope you all enjoy these as a lot of them were very hard to find, I'm still looking for the Unaired Pilot so if anyone dose have it or can help me find it then please email me and we can work things out. And I did find this for the Unaired pilot
The Inside = At first glance, Danny Roberts (Rachel Nichols) seems to be the quintessential American teenager, dating the quarterback at a suburban high school. Only a few know her secret: Danny is not really a high school student, but a 22-year-old federal agent working undercover. Helping Danny ? who is actually Agent ELIZABETH
WORTH ? maintain her cover is Agent Sean Eckhardt (Peter Facinelli)
– Television Series > The Inside (2005) > Episode Stills
– Television Series > The Inside (2005) > Promos
– Television Series > The Inside (2005) > Promotional
Continuum has been renewed for a fourth and final season. The sci-fi series stars Rachel Nichols as law enforcement agent Kiera Cameron, who travels back in time to 2012 from the year 2077. Both networks, Showcase and Syfy, have ordered a final six episodes, set to air in 2015.
The filmed in Vancouver series also stars Victor Webster, Erik Knudsen, Stephen Lobo, and Lexa Doig, and has been a fan favourite since its premiere in 2012.
First I would like to say as you can see there is a new layout up on the main website and gallery made by Never Enough Design. Now with things being a little slow with Rachel right now I have made a start on doing screen captures from Continuum season one 1080p blu-ray and episode 1×01- A Stitch In Time is now up up in the gallery for you all. More are coming very soon.
– Continuum (2012-2013) > Season 1 > HD Screen Captures > 1×01- A Stitch In Time
Come on Showcase make up your minds and let us all no
Max: So far showcase didn't renew Continuum and Syfy is still waiting for the decision. Any news on that?
Nothing has been announced either way but we are confident Continuum will receive a Season 4, and more than likely final season, renewal.

Phoronix Test Suite 1.6.0 "Tydal" Alpha 2
Published on 02 December 2008 09:08 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
4 Comments
The second development release in the road to Phoronix Test Suite 1.6.0 "Tydal" is now available. This release brings a number of new user features, pts-core improvements, and bug fixes. Below are some of the key features introduced in Phoronix Test Suite 1.6.0 Alpha 2.
- The Phoronix Test Suite can now detect the desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, and Xfce currently) in use and it will report that to the system software area.
- An analyze-all-runs option has been added that will generate a candlestick chart showing any differences between test runs. With Phoronix Test Suite 1.6+, the results from all test runs are archived within the XML results file. Running analyze-all-runs on a test result file will visually indicate if there was much variation between tests that had run multiple times.
- Our image renderer that's capable of rendering the graph results to SVG files and PNG files using the GD library has received numerous improvements. The renderer has also been moved out of the pts_Graph object and into its own class (called "bilde_renderer").
- The results viewer has had its XSL and CSS updated that fixes a few alignment issues and should improve the formatting.
- A build-suite command has been added to the Phoronix Test Suite that allows users to easily build their own test suite. This command will walk you through the process of choosing from the available tests to use, the options that come with each test to configure, etc. The user-created suite will then be saved to ~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-suites/ and can be immediately used.
- There is a major update to the Self-Contained Test Profiles (SCTP) support in this update, but that work isn't yet completed. A convert-test-to-sctp command has also been added.
- Along with various bug fixes and addressing a few regressions, the rest of the work in Phoronix Test Suite 1.6.0 Alpha 2 is made up of random changes -- a download-test-files option being added, improved XML parsing performance through tandem_XmlReader optimizations, the pts_CandleStickGraph object being added, etc.
Phoronix Test Suite 1.6.0 Alpha 2 can be downloaded @
Below is the full change-log between Tydal Alpha 1 and Alpha 2.

Very useful information. Nice to know before ordering about the restaurant policy.
Hello I am sorry and aplogise for what hapend in the restaurant, but my sugestion is to choose a romanian restaurant if you are in romania, not this kind of "cosmopolits" .Sorry again
Nice page. Sorry to hear about the story with the restaurant.
Nice page!!! Mamaia sounds great and i hope to get there once.. a lovely Mcdonalds and the hotel also look good and full of activities...
I remember the Hotel Dorna, stayed there over 25 years ago!!!! Brought back a lot of memories
The Romanian food and beer sounds good. Very deceptive of that Restaurant though.. dreadful! Good tips and warnings. Must be different swimming in the black sea.
Love that Mc d's

Very low threshold current operation of semiconductor ring lasersPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 383 - 388| Quick Abstract | PDF (840 KB)
Semiconductor ring lasers with a threshold current as low as 12.5 mA have been fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs. The low threshold current is due to a passivating layer of silicon nitride and an optimised fabrication process that results in very smooth sidewalls. The threshold current was analysed and it was found that a considerable part of the current is lost by spreading towards the inside of the pillbox structure. The remaining loss mechanisms were identified as internal loss (1 dB), coupling loss (7-8 dB) and scattering loss (2-4 dB). The scattering loss was found to be independent of the radius for radii between 30 μm and 145 μm. The L-I curve displays several kinks, which are explained by shifts of the mode position and thus the coupling ratio at the Y-junction due to temperature changes with pumping View full abstract»
Optical pulse interval and width modulation for analogue fibre communicationsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 376 - 382| Quick Abstract | PDF (536 KB)
The derivation of a detailed expression for the frequency spectrum of pulse interval and width modulation (PIWM) is presented. Close agreement has been obtained between spectral predictions from the formula and experimental results. Design details and performance figures are also included for a practical PIWM optical fibre transmission link intended for use with TV, video and instrumentation signals View full abstract»
Effect of surface recombination on microwave performance of laser-induced DBR gratings in silicon coplanar waveguidesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 399 - 401
Cited by: Papers (1)| Quick Abstract | PDF (252 KB)
The effect of surface recombination on DBR sensitivity and the microwave reflection spectrum of laser-induced photoconductivity gratings in silicon coplanar waveguides is analysed quantitatively. Numerical results are supported by experimental results View full abstract»
Optimal multilayer filter design using real coded genetic algorithmsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 413 - 420
Cited by: Papers (5) | Patents (9)| Quick Abstract | PDF (664 KB)
A novel approach for designing optimal multilayer filters based on a real-coded genetic algorithm is presented. Given the total number of layers in the filter, as well as the electrical properties of the materials constituting each layer, the algorithm iteratively constructs multilayers whose frequency response closely matches a desired frequency response. In contrast to existing iterative techniques, this method does not require a preliminary design using classical techniques. Also, the design procedure is independent of the nature of the multilayer as well as the characteristics of the incident and substrate media. The algorithm is applied to the design of various lowpass and highpass optical filters, operating between practical terminal conditions. The performance of the resulting designs matches or improves on that for filters that were synthesised using semiclassical techniques View full abstract»
Harmonic and phase distortion of analogue amplitude-modulated signals in bulk near travelling-wave semiconductor optical amplifiersPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 389 - 398
Cited by: Papers (3)| Quick Abstract | PDF (744 KB)
A theoretical model has been formulated using rate equations to analyse the response of a semiconductor optical amplifier to a single analogue amplitude-modulated input signal. The results are found to agree very closely with experimental results obtained from a bulk buried-heterostructure device, and show that signal distortion is significant even for input powers substantially below saturation. The level of distortion is strongly affected by both the saturation power of the device, and the Fabry-Perot resonance arising from residual facet reflectivity. On the basis of good agreement with experimental data, the theoretical model is used to assess a novel method of bias current feedback that reduces the effect of carrier density modulation by the modulation of the input signal, and greatly improves the harmonic performance of the device. Using this feedback method, the calculated value of signal phase distortion has been reduced by a factor of up to 40, and the harmonic distortion by up to 11 dB View full abstract»
Semiconductor Raman laser pumped with a fundamental modePublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 407 - 412| Quick Abstract | PDF (612 KB)
A semiconductor Raman laser with a waveguide in which a pump beam transmits with a fundamental mode, which can be used as an optical heterodyne demodulator, is discussed. As a result of the improved growth process and resonator construction, a threshold pump power as low as 300 mW has been achieved. The internal loss is discussed, and a tapered-waveguide semiconductor Raman laser is fabricated as a method to realise further lower pump power operation, and its lasing operation is demonstrated View full abstract»
Path-integral analysis of an arbitrarily tapered, multimode, graded-index waveguide; the inverse-square-law and parabolic tapersPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 365 - 375| Quick Abstract | PDF (980 KB)
The method of path integration is used to study tapered, graded-index waveguides in the context of paraxial, scalar wave optics. Closed form analytic results are obtained for the propagator, or Green's function, and coupling efficiencies of such structures. The results of this general theory are applied to tapers of parabolic and inverse-square-law shapes to derive closed form expressions for the lowest-order mode-coupling efficiency of these tapers. The results are compared with those obtained for the linear taper (discussed in a previous paper) in order to establish the suitability of each taper geometry for use in practical optical components. The inverse-square-law taper is found to be the least suitable one for single-mode devices View full abstract»
Comparison between two recent large-signal dynamic DFB laser modelsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 402 - 406| Quick Abstract | PDF (452 KB)
Two large-signal dynamic DFB laser models have been developed recently: the transmission-line laser model and the power matrix method. The paper presents quantitative comparisons between these two models and demonstrates good agreement between results for L-I characteristics, transient response, time-resolved spectra and spatial hole-burning of the longitudinal carrier density. The models are also compared in terms of applicability View full abstract»

Do you want turning vanes with your duct work? Yes, if you are considering a square corner and you want to minimize your fan power requirement. Don't take my word for it, instead consider this Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study that compares a vaneless square corner with both small turning vanes and large turning vanes.
Velocity magnitude contours on the symmetry plane
The velocity magnitude contours on the symmetry plane of each configuration show recirculation zones (blue) downstream of the corner. Notice how the zone reduces in size with the introduction of the turning vanes and is smallest for the large turning vanes. You can also see that the maximum flow velocity (red) is reduced adjacent to the recirculation with the turning vanes, even though each simulation maintains the same volume flow rate.
How does this seemingly improved flow pattern for the turning vanes translate into actual savings? The pressure drop for the large turning vanes is a whopping 62% less than the vaneless corner. Given that you select a fan based on the system pressure drop and the volume flow rate, the large turning vanes will save you power and equipment costs. What's not to like?
- Interesting discussion on turning vanes: "Turning Vanes: Necessary Component, or Efficiency Reduction Device?"
- CFD simulations were created and performed using Caedium Professional

This model is for positive pressure to the inlet & outlet of the 90 elbow. What is needed is a model of a negative pressure on the inlet of the 90 elbow.
The forces of pulling air through an elbow are not the same as pushing and since the turbulence from the mass of the air smashing into the wall of the elbow is less, then the pressure drop will be less.
The question is how much less? There is a video produced by SMACNA showing helium bubbles passing through a clear glass duct and elbows. The bubbles show how small changes in deminsion and angle make big improvements in air flow.
Perhaps a government grant could be proposed to verify the computational model

History of Christianity Christianity is based upon the teachings of Jesus, a Jew who lived his life in the Roman province of Palestine. Roman communications networks enabled Christianity to spread quickly throughout the Roman empire and eventually to the rest of Europe, and finally the entire globe. As time progressed, Christianity divided into three major branches. The Roman Catholic branch of Christianity is the successor of the church established in Rome soon after Christ's death. It traces its spiritual history to the early disciples of Jesus. The Pope, or spiritual leader, traces his office's lineage back to St. Peter, the first Pope, one of Jesus' disciples. Roman Catholicism was originally predominately practiced in Ireland, Poland, France and Spain. During the fourth century, the Roman Catholic church split and the Eastern Orthodox branch was formed. The split was primarily a political one due to the division of the Roman Empire into western and eastern components. The two churches became officially separate in 1054. Orthodox churches are largely national, each associated with a particular country. Orthodoxy is common in Russia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, the Ukraine, and Armenia. The Protestant branch split from Roman Catholicism during the Reformation, a sixteenth and seventeenth century series of church reforms in doctrine and practice. This movement challenged the authority of the Pope, and became popular in Scandinavia, England, and the Netherlands. Protestantism eventually divided into many denominations which arose in response to disputes over doctrine, theology, or religious practice. Some of the large denominations today are Lutherans, Methodists and Baptists. Basic Beliefs of Christianity Christianity believes in one God, while the central figure in Christianity is Jesus (or Christ), a Jew who came into this world by immaculate conception to a virgin named Mary. His birth is celebrated at Christmas with hymns and gift giving. It's believed that Jesus was not only man, but also the son of God and lived his life without sin. During his lifetime, Jesus performed many miracles and spoke to many people about his father in heaven. He was arrested for claiming to be God's son and was hung on the cross by the Romans at age 33. Christians believe that the suffering and death upon the cross which this sinless man endured paid for the sins of all mankind, and because of Jesus' actions, salvation can be achieved by anyone who believes in him. This act of sacrifice is remembered during Lent. Following his death, Christians believe that he rose from the grave (celebrated at Easter) and returned to the earth, appearing to his followers and telling them of the kingdom of God to which he was going. He also promised his disciples that he would return one day to bring all believers with him to that kingdom, to enjoy eternal life in the presence of God. Christians can read of the life of Jesus, as well as his ancestors in the only Christian holy text, the Bible. It consists of the Old Testament (which is also considered sacred to Judaism and Islam) and the New Testament. The Old Testament chronicles the lives of Jews and others who lived before Jesus, who had been promised a savior by God, and were waiting for him. This text contains many stories about people demonstrating faith in God and also provides historical information about the era. The New Testament is unique to Christianity, for it centers around the figure of Jesus and his effect on the world. Christians believe that Jesus is the one that the Old Testament foretold, so instead of looking for a savior, they await the return of Jesus so that he can take them to his kingdom, or heaven. The beliefs of Christianity can be seen in the words of the Apostles' Creed, a document which was written to distinguish Christianity from other religions and show basic Christian doctrine in a concise manner.

Green Onions
Love my green onions. But they are such a pain in the back side. Direct sowing mean keeping that area clear of mulch and trying to weed around teeny tiny needle thin seedlings. Sowing in a flat means trying to transplant same needle thin seedlings.
Anybody got a good trick or two to make these little gems easier to deal with?
Sheet transplant them. I start them inside in shallow plastic trays - just scatter sow them all over the tray. Come transplant time cut the tray of seedlings into 3 or 4 strips depending on how wide you want your row - just like cutting a cake - make sure the transplant site is ready and then just peel out a strip from the tray and lay it on the prepared soil row. Butt the strips end-to-end and lightly cover edges with the surrounding soil and water. Viola! a row of green onions planted. If you want a lot of them and a really wide row you can just plant the whole sheet from each tray. Thin as needed for use.
PS: Be sure to trim the tops down to 3" before transplanting.
Picture laying sod. ;) I use the 1020 flat black seedling trays - the ones with holes in the bottom (pic at link below). But any fairly shallow plastic tray that you can put drain holes in the bottom of should work. The deeper plastic (2" deep) trays that you get meat in at the store, the aluminum throw-away sheet cake pans, etc. you get the idea.
Fill with 1 1/2" - 2" of moist good seed starting mix and lightly pack it down. Scatter the seeds fairly thickly all over the top of the soil (an old salt shaker works well). Lightly cover with more soil and cover with plastic dome or Saran wrap plastic with a few air holes in it. Set it in whatever you germinating set-up is for seeds. Once most germinate it gets uncovered and goes under the lights.
Bottom feed weekly with a diluted to 1/2 strength good liquid fertilizer and keep the tops trimmed to 3" tall - gives you stronger stems. When ready to plant and your bed is all ready, make your cake slices the width of the pan (length is too long to handle comfortably for me but you might prefer it). I usually slice mine into 6-8" wide slices. It lifts out like sod all bound together by the roots. Plant the "onion sod" slices end-to-end and cover the edges with garden soil. Water well. Thin and harvest as needed.
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Starting Trays
after i used the tops of some green onions i got from the grocery store i had about a 3 in. piece of the base with the roots on them. i took around 12 of these and poked them in the ground and 3 weeks later i had 1ft tall green onions. i did not think they would grow that easy and fast. im about to cut the tops off and just leave the base in the ground and see if they will grow back again.
I have seedlings coming up and what I have seen is that the tops fall over or are almost doubled over (not sure that makes sense) I'll try to get a photo...but they also can very easily be pinched off...is that ok to do? will this hurt them in any way? sounds like if you are deliberately cutting them back to 3 inches before transplanting, is basically doing the same...except for the size they are now, like an inch tall vs taller than 3 inches.
What you are seeing is normal - they will straighten up and grow with sufficient light. Just let them grow at first until they exceed 3" and then trim them with sharp scissors back to 3". When you do, new shoots keep emerging indicating new layers developing on the onion.
sea-of-green, yes they will continue to grow new shoots - assuming the tops are all you want to harvest. Most of us prefer the onion part too. ;) If all you want are green shoots, consider growing onion chives instead. Easy to grow and you get lots of tops.
Does this apply to starting storage onions too?
For sheet transplanting, we're just talking green onions or salad onions as some call them. It would be very overcrowded for storage onions without some aggressive thinning and I hate to waste seeds ;) But many plant storage onions - seeds or sets - very close together and then thin them out - use every other one as a green onion and let the rest bulb up.
Onion sets of course can be direct planted in the garden but storage onions from seed have to be started at least a couple of months in advance (January here) so I start mine in what are called plug trays and transplant them individually to the garden when the time is right.
Ahhhh....the "hunk o'seedlings" method. That is a good question about overcrowding tho'. Sure they don't need much room, so I guess that thinning them out as they grow should be OK, shouldn't it?
And when I say "thin them out," I mean, "pick what I want to eat today."
