I was wondering what is the clearance to allow for this? I can't have too much play, it needs to be tight but rotate without much resistance. I was thinking something like 0.15mm all around? or would i need more?

There are parallel edges, 90 degree corners, and 270 degree corners. There was enough clearance for the parallel edges and 270 degree corners and probably 0.15mm would have been enough, but the 90 degree corners seem to be expanded, and I might need 0.3mm. I had to shave the inside corners to get it to rotate but there's still a lot of friction.]]> thomashuang.net 2011-10-04T05:34:55-00:00

Here's a funny instructional video for the GThrust, a footboard sex toy that's supposed to help a man find a woman's g-spot. The couple in the video demonstrate how laughing while using a goofy sex toy is really the key to sustaining an enjoyable sex life. Also, yes, I am devolving into the resident sex toy editor.

Rolled ankles are a pretty common occurrence in basketball. Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson suffered one last night. What isn't that common is getting a still shot of the roll. The eight-year veteran tweeted a picture of the painful-looking incident that occurred in Wednesday night's game against the Grizzlies. Despite the 100 degree angle (I used my handy dandy protractor) of his leg/foot, Johnson (@IamAmirJohnson) said, "Sick ankle roll but I'm ok Thanx for your prayers." Yeah, I'd say it's pretty sick…sick as in my ankle hurts just looking at it.

EU farmers produce top quality products, but better marketing could boost recognition – and sales – here and abroad.
The EU's farmers make some of the best food in the world – the harvest of their know-how, tradition, innovation and high production standards.
But consumers here and overseas aren't always aware of the care that goes into making quality food – grains, vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, oils and other traditional farm products.
For example, EU farms meet stricter standards than their competitors – on food safety, the environment and animal welfare. These are some of the selling points that should make Europe's farm products stand out at local market stalls and supermarkets.
The Commission is convinced the EU could beef up promotion of EU produce to persuade more people to "buy European".
Simplified rules and more cooperation among EU countries would help everyone in the industry promote agricultural products more widely and enter new markets.
This would also help:
Before making proposals, the Commission wants opinions from farmers, retailers, exporters, consumers and others. These views will feed into plans for revising current marketing rules.
A discussion document presents background information and identifies areas where marketing could be improved. The consultation is open until 30 September 2011.
Between 2006 and 2010, the EU granted about €259m to co-fund 190 promotional programmes as part of its common agricultural policy (CAP).

I had a wonderful time on the Heart of England Tour earlier in September (12th – 16th). Steve was an excellent tour guide and added so much to the trip. There were only a few of us on the journey and we received such personalized attention. Rabbies is to be commended for running their tours regardless of the number of people who sign up.
The tour began on Friday morning, departing from Victoria Coach Station, and we drove to Stratford upon Avon and then to the Ironbridge area on the River Severn, before driving the rest of the way to Shrewsbury where the tour spent two nights. The bed and breakfast where we were booked, The Trevellion House, was delightful. Sonia took excellent care of all of her guests, there was a cooked to order breakfast, and the single room that I stayed in had a very comfortable double bed and a spacious bathroom.
Saturday was spent in Wales. In the town of Conwy, we explored the ruins of Conwy Castle and did a tour of Plas Mawr, an Elizabethan house that was really amazing. In the afternoon we drove into the Snowden National Park and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and learned that the sheep outnumber people in Wales 10 to 1.
On Sunday morning we said goodbye to Shrewsbury and drove into the Peak District. Our first stop was at the spa town of Buxton, known as the Bath of the North. Then onto Chatsworth! The house and gardens were truly something to see, you could easily spend an entire day there. After driving to York, Steve dropped us off at our accommodations, and I had a great dinner at Jamie's Italian restaurant.
I stayed at The Groves in York, which was a B and B style hotel. On Monday, I had a fun day seeing York Minster, the York Castle Museum, Clifford Tower, and walking around city, and had a nice late lunch at the most popular restaurant in the city, Rustique.
Tuesday was the last day of the tour, and we visited Cambridge for a few hours before returning to London. It was a great trip!

I really enjoyed my Ring of Kerry Tour. The driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and irish history and kept us very entertained. Despite the sometimes rainy weather, we were able to set a lot of the sights and I would definitely recommend this tour as a great way to see one of the most famous parts of western Ireland.
I took the train from Dublin to Killarney the day before, and returned on the late train to Dublin the evening of the tour and had plenty of time. The previous day I went to the Muckross House and Traditional Farms and spent the afternoon there, and highly recommend that as well.

ANAHEIM - During every Mighty Ducks game at Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim, Tim Ryan, wearing his crisp suit and sharp necktie, walks.
The Ducks' executive vice president and chief operating officer paces the concourse before the opening puck drops. He roams the arena during intermission. He talks to spectators, shakes hands and listens to the fans.
"Great job," fans tell him, happy about the 42-27-12 season, the clinched playoff spot, the reacquisition and emergence of popular forward Teemu Selanne and the return of hockey to Orange County.
Ryan could stay buried in his office or settled into a luxury suite, but he hasn't. He prefers to be among the hockey fans and watching his team and this sport recover from last season, which was lost to a labor lockout.
"There used to be questions: Will the fans come back? Will the sport bounce back? How long will people remember the lockout?" Ryan said.
His game-time walks answered those questions. Hearing the crowd roar, seeing the seats filled, the concessions busy and the Team Store cash register racing to take in another souvenir purchase, Ryan knows the playoff-charging Ducks have done their part to give CPR to the NHL.
The league, despite rule changes to make the game faster and presumably more exciting, still remains deep in the popularity wake left by the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA and now even golf and NASCAR.
At best, the NHL could relish in the idea that ice hockey in the America is just as important to diehards - and just as forgettable to non-hockey fans - as it was in 2003-04. Major League Baseball, after its 1994-1995 strike, suffered because the work stoppage alienated long-time fans. Ill sentiment over the NHL lockout has not appeared to affect the fans returning to follow the sport - if they're able to watch their teams, that is.
The NHL's new TV deal with Outdoor Life Network, a cable network in a lot fewer homes than former NHL-carrier ESPN, has forced hockey zealots to press unfamiliar channels to find games between various bull-riding wilderness programming.
The OLN deal probably hasn't done much to turn hunters into hockey fans either. And the few NHL games on NBC had ratings that were 21 percent below what ABC garnered two years ago, according to Nielsen Media Research. (OLN and Fox Sports Net have not released ratings numbers for the new season, so we can guess that the news won't even be as attractive as Gordie Howe's former mug, with broken nose and missing teeth.)
This season, the Ducks had a franchise-high 73 televised games. Knowing where to tune in became part of the challenge, since 63 games were on the two Fox Sports Net West channels, four on KCAL Channel 9, four on KDOC and two on OLN.
Going to the Pond seemed easier than wrestling with the remote. And getting the fans to watch hockey live is where the NHL can best measure its short-term recovery.
To bring fans back to the game, Ducks cut ticket prices for two seasons, gave free-food vouchers to season-ticket holders, welcomed fans back through the door with promotional giveaways and offered theme nights.
Like many teams in the NHL, the Ducks began the season with "Thank You Fans!" painted beneath the ice. Then, Ryan said, the team success did the rest, more than making up for lingering hurt feelings from the lockout.
"Now there's a buzz in the air. I haven't seen fans react like this since the Stanley Cup run in 2003," he said. "The excitement is infectious."
And encouraging.
Going into tonight's Ducks home finale against Calgary, the 40 home games have drawn an attendance of 15,080 fans, an 88 percent full Pond. In the last NHL season, 2003-04, the attendance average was 14,988.
The comparable numbers and equal sellouts - 11 - show Ducks fans have been resilient and returned, with lockout hatchets buried, to welcome back the sport.
The anticipated 12th sellout tonight will be the most in a season since the 25 in 1997-98, when the Ducks reached the first postseason in franchise history and were swept in the Western Conference semifinals by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Detroit.
Since Feb.1, The Pond's attendance average jumped to 16,681, with at least 15,000 fans in the arena for every game.
"A lot of hockey fans were pretty lost without the NHL last year, and now we've come back to forgive, forget and look toward the future with the Ducks making the playoffs," said Mark Richards, 34, a longtime Ducks fan from Anaheim Hills who bought a jersey during intermission of a game against Dallas.

Joe Nichols – "It Ain't No Crime"
Universal South is promoting "It Ain't No Crime" as "Joe Nichols as you've never heard him before." Actually, it's exactly what we've been hearing from Joe Nichols all along, and it's becoming tiresome. As much as I like traditionalists, I'm close to writing off Nichols. Joe Nichols is one of the very best vocalists on the radio, and anyone who doubts that he's a great country singer hasn't heard Nichols and Rhonda Vincent sing "Cash on the Barrelhead" on the Louvin Brothers tribute album or Nichols' Grand Ole Opry performance of "Bartender Blues." I don't expect Nichols' own single releases to be songs of commensurate quality, but I've been waiting five years for Nichols to release a string of meaningful material and he's disappointed me.
"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" and "Size Matters" made me smile, but you can't build a career on such novelty songs. Nichols can't sing about heartbreak without resorting to kitsch ("Brokenheartsville," "She Only Smokes When She Drinks") and his recent attempt at sentiment ("I'll Wait For You") was a pining retread of a three-verse cliché that suffered the ignominy of being performed at Anna Nicole Smith's funeral.
So "It Ain't No Crime" is really just more of the same. It sounds good and is performed well but it'll be forgotten just as soon as it lands in the top ten. Nichols is fast becoming a study in "how to succeed in country music without really trying."
12 Comments
I like the song and I generally like Nichols, but I think "Let's Get Drunk and Fight" would have been a better choice for an uptempo song off of "Real Things". That said, I agree with what you said, Nichols has all the potential in the world vocally, but his material always seems to be a step below what he SHOULD be recording.
That's by far my favorite song from the album (and a great album at that). It's well written and a sly departure from typical Nashville fare. When's the last time you heard a sadsack song on Clearchannel radio? It reminds me of Tom T. Hall a good deal. It probably won't be a big hit since soccer moms can't really get behind a slacker anthem, but I dig it. Yours isn't actually a review of the song, by the way, just an aside on what he "should" be recording.
Apart from "What's a Guy Got To Do…" and "Brokenheartsville", I've never been overly impressed with Joe's singles even though he does have a great traditional voice. He needs to up the ante and start putting out singles that can compete head on quality wise with Josh Turner and Blake Shelton, his closest traditionalist competitors.
Hearing Joe on "Livin, Lovin, Losin" (as mentioned in the review) and sing Gene Watson's "Farewell Party" on the Opry have demonstrated the greatness he is vocally capable of, and like Matt I'd like to hear more of "that" sound from Joe in his singles. Its a good thing these young traditionalists I enjoy listening to are good looking enough to keep mainstream country radio's primary female listening audience interested even if their singles aren't the greatest musically speaking….
I thought "Real Things" continued the trend of a lot of Joe's albums. It had some great songs (She's All Lady), but still felt like it had too much filler.
"Let's Get Drunk and Fight", I think, was going to be the second single, but I assume they postponed it since he went to rehab late last year for alcohol abuse.
The album is a fine listen. I like the pace of that song, "my whiskey years." But Joe should be our Randy Travis with songs ass badass as "Diggin' Up Bones" or "On the Other Hand."
This is exactly how I feel about Joe's music. Great traditional voice, but forgettable songs.
its a good thing that all artists dont listen to critics, otherwise the radio would only be playing the type of music that belongs on a lifetime movie soundtrack.
Joe…i say kudos, keep it up, there are a lot of us who would rather smile than cry.
Tim: On the other hand, if people listened to what country fans were saying instead of telling them what to like, you might not have so many #1 singles with albums that just don't sell.
are you expecting joe to do pop country? no way man. no way.

Calling it "an un-Canadian and hateful act", a spokesperson for an Islamic community centre in Thornhill said his group is "obviously shocked, hurt, and... distressed", by hate messages spray-painted on the sidewalk and a sign at the Bathurst street facility.
York Regional Police are investigating after vandals spray-painted "Arab go home!" on the sidewalk and other racist words at the Jaffari Community Centre at 9000 Bathurst St., near Rutherford Road. Police were called to the site just after 7 p.m. Sunday evening.
"We're frankly taken aback somebody would want to do this," Jaffari Centre communications lead Shabbir Jaffer said. "We've been a very moderate member of the community. We've always co-operated with everyone, our neighbours included."
Police found what they called messages "of a hateful nature that had been spray-painted out front of the centre. The messages were in relation to the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict."
There were also symbols spray-painted on a sign in front of the centre.
Officers canvassed the local area and will do so again today but want to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
The Jaffari Centre has been involved in a highly contentious application to build two, 17-storey towers and 61 three-storey townhouse units on the large plot of land owned by Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto.
A Feb. 4 meeting at Vaughan City Hall drew at least 1,000 people and overflowed council chambers, the multi-purpose room and overflow room at 2141 Major Mackenzie Rd.
The development, which is opposed by many in the largely Jewish, is still on the table and will come back before council.
Police have drawn no link between the vandalism night and the dispute over the Jaffari development application.
Jaffer said he doesn't believe the development application was connected to Sunday's incident, which occurred during Ramadan, the holiest month in the Muslim calendar.
"Frankly no, we don't believe there was any reason to believe that anyone from the local area would do such a hateful action. We believe our neighbours to be peaceful, law-abiding people.
"I'm not going to speculate as to who did it," he added. "I'll leave that to the police."
The graffiti is unacceptable, said Concord/North Thornhill Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco, who represents the area and who has been part of the local homeowners/Jaffari centre/Vaughan city staff meetings over the development.
"Is it related to (the development application)? I can't really tell you because I don't know all the details on it, but I really hope it isn't. I certainly hope it isn't," she said.
"In the city of Vaughan, we have always committed to promoting tolerance and respect and respecting everybody's culture," she continued. "For something like this to happen in our back yard is really, really disappointing."
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua echoed those sentiments.
"This type of vandalism is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community," he said. "We view our diversity as one of our greatest strengths and are unified in the belief that acceptance and understanding will continue to move this city forward."
Suggestions the escalating tensions in the Middle East between Palestinians and Israelis led to the hate graffiti angered Jaffer.
"It would be a real shame, bringing a geo-political tension into a local community in Canada is just crazy, just appalling," he said.
"I'd like to think it's not representative of the wider Canadian population."
Specially trained York Regional Police No. 4 district hate crime investigators are involved in the investigation, while the central hate crime unit will be monitoring the case as it progresses.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Victor Oladipo shook off a sprained left ankle with a spectacular performance to lift top-ranked Indiana to a 72-68 victory over No. 4 Michigan State on Tuesday night.
Oladipo's go-ahead putback, dunk and free throws in the final minute gave him 19 points to go along with nine rebounds, five steals and a block. Not bad for a guy who didn't play after halftime of his previous game, just three days earlier, because of the injury.
Hoosiers coach Tom Crean insisted that the junior shooting guard "wasn't even close" to 100-percent healthy.
"There's no doubt his foot hurt," Crean said. "That mind was right, and that was the biggest thing."
Indiana (24-3, 12-2 Big Ten) broke a first-place tie in the conference — with four games left in the regular season — and moved a step closer toward earning top seeding next month in the NCAA tournament.
"It was a huge win for us," Oladipo said. "We've come a long way."
The Hoosiers had lost 17 in a row — since 1991 — on the road against the Spartans.
"Most of those guys weren't alive," Crean said. "It didn't affect them."
Michigan State (22-5, 11-3) blew opportunities at the line.
Trailing by three with 3.7 seconds left, Harris was fouled on a 3-point attempt. He missed the first one — setting off sighs in the sold-out arena — and after making the second, he deliberately missed the third.
Indiana got the rebound — Oladipo grabbed it, of course — and he hit two free throws to seal the win.
"We were right there," Gary Harris said somberly. "And, we could've won."
Keith Appling had missed the front end of a one and one with a little more than a minute left.
"I'd say I was more upset than surprised," he said.
Cody Zeller had 17 points — nearly doubling what he had in the previous matchup against Michigan State — while Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford scored 12 each for the Hoosiers.
Oladipo and Zeller went over the 1,000-point mark of their careers in the game, joining Hulls and Watford in the club, to give the storied program four players with that many points on the same team for the first time.

This invention was made with government support under Contract No. F19628-95-C-0002 awarded by the U.S. Air Force. The government has certain rights in the invention.
The present invention relates generally to high-power laser systems, an in particular to systems that combine the beams of multiple lasers to expand output power and bandwidth.
High-power, high-brightness lasers are utilized in a wide variety of industrial, optical, and medical applications. For many such applications laser power is carried by optical fibers, which can be single-mode or multimode in nature, depending on the application. The light-carrying cores of single-mode fibers are narrower than those of multimode fibers. Because light travels more quickly through smaller cores and also suffers less attenuation, single-mode fibers are preferred for applications involving high-frequency light pulses and long travel distances.
In order to couple to a small fiber core (the size of which is typically expressed as an "�tendue," i.e., the product of the fiber's core diameter and numerical aperture), a laser must have a small-diameter, narrow-divergence output beam and, therefore, a high brightness level. Unfortunately, typical high-power lasers do not exhibit sufficient brightness levels to permit coupling into single-mode fibers.
Copending U.S. Ser. No. 09/149,610 (filed Sep. 8, 1998) now U.S. Pat. No. 6,208,679 U.S. Ser. No. 09/337,081 (filed Jun. 21, 1999), and U.S. Ser. No. 09/498,462 (filed Feb. 4, 2000) now U.S. Pat. No. 6,192,062 describe external-cavity laser designs that generate coaxially overlapping outputs at multiple wavelengths. For example, an external laser resonator may be based on a bar of light-emitting semiconductor material whose outputs emerge from a linear sequence of stripes along the length of the bar. These outputs pass through an output-coupling lens and strike a dispersive element, such as a diffraction grating. Light dispersed by the dispersive element is reflected by a partial mirror back along the optical path, passing through the lens and returning to the semiconductor outputs, the opposite facets of which are reflective. The resulting feedback produces laser amplification, and light not reflected by the partial mirror represents the output of the system.
The reflective semiconductor facets and the partial mirror together form an ensemble of individual, external-cavity lasers, each with its own optical path. The lens and dispersive element force the individual beams into a coaxial configuration, their paths intercepting at the dispersive element. Moreover, because the beam of each of these lasers strikes the dispersive element at a different angle, each laser has a different optical path and, therefore, resonates at a different wavelength. The overall result is a high-power, multi-wavelength beam with high brightness due to the coaxially overlapping component beams.
Although this configuration produces high output power levels, those levels ultimately depend on the inputs to the system—i.e., the light produced by the semiconductor bar. And because the power of semiconductor emitters is limited, overall system power will be limited as well.
In accordance with the present invention, either or both of two strategies is employed to increase system output. In one approach, the external-resonator design is modified to allow each input to undergo individual amplification notwithstanding optical beam combination. In this way, overall output power may be scaled in a desired fashion, depending on the selected characteristics of the optical amplifier elements.
To achieve additional power, each of the amplifiers may implemented as a phased array. Viewed more generally, this configuration affords beam combining in two stages, with each contributing input source itself composed of multiple sources whose outputs have been combined. If each phased-array source emits at a different wavelength (i.e., has a different output wavelength profile), this design offers a multi-wavelength output whose power level may be scaled in accordance with the number and character of the devices forming each phased array.
Thus, in one aspect, the invention comprises a multi-wavelength light-generation system based on an optical source that produces a plurality of spatially separated optical outputs having different wavelength profiles. An optical amplifier having a plurality of optical gain elements receives the optical outputs and amplifies them. The amplified outputs are directed onto a dispersive optical device, which spatially combines them in the near and far fields, resulting in a co-propagated multi-spectral output.
In another aspect, the invention comprises a multi-wavelength light-generation system based on a series of phased-array optical gain sources. In particular, each of the gain sources utilizes the combined outputs of a plurality of constituent radiation sources arranged in a phased array. Each of the various phased-array gain sources produces an output having a different wavelength profile. These outputs are spatially combined by a dispersive optical device.
The foregoing discussion will be understood more readily from the following detailed description of the invention, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1A schematically illustrates an amplified, spectrally combined laser in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 1B illustrates a variation of the design shown in FIG. 1A, with output being derived from a different optical location;
FIG. 2 illustrates implementation of the invention using a mode-locked laser;
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an amplified, spectrally combined laser in which the amplifiers are implemented as phased arrays; and
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a hybrid optical beam-combining system in accordance with the present invention.
Refer first to FIG. 1A, which shows an amplified laser 100 in which spectrally distinct outputs are spatially combined. The illustrated design comprises an optical source 110 producing multiple optical outputs having different wavelengths; a power amplifier array 115; and an output stage 120.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, source 110 is implemented as an external-cavity master-oscillator array. The array includes a set of optical gain elements 122 1 . . . 122 n; an optical device (such as a collimating lens and/or a curved mirror) 125; a dispersive element (such as a diffraction grating or prism) 127; and a reflective device (such as a mirror) 130. As illustrated, gain elements 122 are gain fibers, e.g., optical fibers doped with a gain material such as ytterbium (Yb), erbium (Er), or neodymium (Nd). Each fiber has an emission face 132, . . . 132 n and an output face, one of which is representatively shown in enlarged form at 134 n. The output faces of gain elements 122 are provided with partial-mirror surfaces.
In operation, gain elements 122 are excited so as to emit radiation through (at least) faces 132. This can be achieved in any of various known ways. Typically, each gain element 122 is stimulated with optical radiation delivered by a source fiber. For example, light from the source fiber may be coupled into a gain fiber 122 by fusing the source fiber to the gain fiber in a parallel fashion. Alternatively, a V-groove may be introduced radially into the thickness of a gain fiber 122, and the output of the source fiber directed into the V-groove (i.e., normal to axis of gain fiber 122). In another approach, the gain elements 122 may be excited by application of an electric current (if, for example, the gain elements 122 are semiconductor elements).
In any case, each of the gain elements 122 emits a beam of radiation having a different free-space optical path. The radiation beams from gain elements 122 all pass through optical device 125 and strike dispersive element 127. Optical device 125 causes the radiation beams to overlap as they reach dispersive element 127. For example, device 125 may be a lens positioned substantially a focal-length distance away from both emission faces 132 and dispersive element 127. The light reflected from dispersive element 127 toward mirror 130 is a composite of the individual beams, which emerge from dispersive element 127 coaxially and normal to mirror 130, which is preferably a high reflector.
This configuration forms a resonator. The optical paths of the beams from gain elements 122 all pass through device 125 and are all dispersed by element 127—that is, all beams share device 125 and element 127—but pass through only one of the gain elements 122. Light reflected by mirror 130 and received through one of the emission faces 132 is again partially reflected by the fiber's output face 134, the unreflected portion of the beam representing the output.
The pumped gain media 122 together form an ensemble of individual external-cavity lasers. Because the beam of each of these lasers is incident on dispersive element 127 at a different angle, each lases at a different wavelength. That wavelength, in turn, is determined by the beam's angle of incidence with respect to dispersive element and its angle of diffraction, the optical characteristics of the gain medium, and the grating line spacing of the dispersive element 127. Thus, by varying one or more of these parameters (most simply, the orientation and/or location of dispersive element 127 relative to emission faces 132), the wavelengths of the lasers may be tuned. The tuning range depends on the gain bandwidth of the gain media 122 and the reflectivity of the end faces 134. The number of gain media 122 and their locations can be selected so as to generate simultaneously or sequentially any set of wavelengths within the gain width of the gain media.
In an alternative configuration, shown in FIG. 1B, output is taken from a different optical location within master-oscillator array 110. In particular, a partially reflecting beamsplitter 140 intercepts the beams between optical device 125 and the emission faces 132 of gain fibers 122. In this configuration, the ends 134 of gain fibers 122 are fully rather than partially reflective.
With renewed reference to FIG. 1A, gain elements 122 and amplifier elements 150 are depicted as physically distinct. It is possible, however, for the gain and amplifier elements to be physically connected, with the output ends 134 being internal to the structure. For instance, in the case of optical-fiber gain elements and amplifier elements, fiber Bragg gratings may be used to form a partial reflector for the gain element as well as to differentiate between the gain elements and the amplifier elements.
Regardless of configuration, the individual, wavelength-differentiated outputs of master-oscillator array 110 are provided—either directly or, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, via a pair of lenses 145, 147—to power-amplifier array 115, which comprises a series of individual amplifier elements 150 1 . . . 150 n, each receiving a different one of the outputs. Accordingly, different spectral regions are amplified by different ones of the amplifier elements 150. As illustrated, amplifier elements 150 may be optical gain fibers doped, for example, with Yb or Er.
The amplified outputs from array 115 pass through an optical device 155 (e.g., a lens) and strike another dispersive element 160. Optical device 155 causes the radiation beams to overlap as they reach dispersive element 160, and the light reflected from dispersive element 160—representing the ultimate output of the system 100—is a composite of the individual beams, which emerge coaxially. The combination of the optical device 155 and dispersive element 160 forces overlap of the various wavelength outputs in the near and far fields.
It should be stressed that still other configurations are possible for master-oscillator array 110. For example, array 110 may be simply a series of individual, physically distinct laser devices, or may instead not be an array at all—e.g., a single source with multispectral or broadband output that is split so that, once again, different spectral regions are amplified by different amplifier elements 150. This approach is illustrated in FIG. 2 using a mode-locked laser, i.e., a device that outputs a train of short pulses with broad spectral bandwidth. As shown in the figure, the output of a mode-locked laser 170 strikes a dispersive element 127, and the wavelength of light diffracted therefrom varies with angle. A transform lens 175 converts this variation of wavelength with angle to variation with position at the focal plane of the lens, where a microlens array 180 focuses different segments of the beam (and, therefore, different wavelength bands) onto the front faces of optical gain elements 1501 . . . 150 n.
As shown in FIG. 3, amplifier array 115 may be realized as a phased array for even greater power. Instead of being received by a single amplifying element, each output of master-oscillator array 110 serves as the input to one of N amplifier phased arrays 165 1 . . . 165 n of 1�M gain elements each (where M may range, for example from 2 to 100). In the implementation illustrated in FIG. 3, a single element 122 and the phased-array amplifier 165 it feeds constitute an individual laser subsystem. The outputs from the amplifier phased arrays 165 are propagated to the dispersive optical system as discussed above.
Amplifier phased arrays suitable for use in the present context are well known. Suitable configurations include ridge waveguide amplifiers (see IEEE Photonics Tech. Letters 6:1062 (1994)) and multisection slabs (see IEEE J. Quantum Electronics 30:2617 (1994).
As shown more generally in FIG. 4, the combination of phased-array input sources producing spatially and spectrally distinct outputs with a dispersive optical system for combining those outputs in the near and far field offers the possibility of continuous scaling to very large arrays at high output power levels. Moreover, because both beam-combining techniques operate essentially independently, the scaling of one does not place stress on the other. If, for example, the dispersive optics can handle 100 inputs at different wavelengths, and it is possible to configure each input as a phased array of 100 constituent laser elements, the result is a 10,000-element laser system.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific details, it is not intended that such details should be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention, except as and to the extent that they are included in the accompanying claims.

PPG, based in Hamburg, Germany, developed the first digital wavetable synthesizers. The earliest model was the Wave - a hybrid of digital oscillators feeding into analogue filters and VCAs (Voltage Controlled Amplifiers). The Wave's most interesting feature was its ability to sweep through 64 waveforms in what PPG termed a wavetable - a group of waveforms held in memory that can be strung together in any order you like, and then played in sequence as the basis of a sound. The result of this technology is that the instrument has a much broader palette and more dynamic timbral sound than that offered by the typical sawtooth, pulse and sine waves of analogue synthesizers, which relied on a filter to animate them. There were later examples of other similar types of transitional synthesis, such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS Vector Synthesis (which later appeared in Yamahas SY22 synthesizer, after Yamaha bought the company), and Korgs own wavetable synthesis which uses full samples for each stage of the wavetable rather than a single-cycle looped oscillator, and which has survived commercially, as has the Waldorf range through various incarnations, which originally rose from the ashes of PPG.

Access 2010 Creating Reports
If you need to share information from your database with someone, but don't want them actually working with your database, you should consider creating a Report. Reports allow you to organize and present your data in a reader-friendly, visually appealing format. Access 2010 makes it easy to create and customize a report using data from any query or table in your database.

New Features of Reports in Access 2010
Creating a report in Access 2010 is a very similar process to creating a report in Access 2007. However, in Access 2010 there are a few new features that pertain to reports...
Create Access 2010 Reports
Access 2010 Report helps user to understand and view records pertaining to the needs. It facilitates users to view the printable version of the records and makes database look fascinating with different colors, charts, themes and fonts. With different themes included in Access 2010, you can choose different styles and designs to apply them over. This post elaborates the basics of creating Access reports.
Access 2010 Advanced Report Options
Access 2010 offers several advanced options for creating and modifying reports. The Report Wizard is a tool that guides you through the process of creating complex reports. Once you've created a report, whether through the Report Wizard or the Report command, you can then format it to make it look exactly how you want.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the Report Wizard to create complex reports. You'll also learn how to use Access's formatting options to format text, change report colors and fonts, and add a logo.
Access 2010 how to use a navagation form to collect parameters run reports
Access 2010 how to use a navagation form to collect parameters run reports?
I have created a db and I want to use a tab on the navagation form to show about 5 titles of reports (command buttons). I want the end user to be able to set Start Date and End Date, and use a combo box to select the event and view one of the reports
Secure Access Reports
I have developed 3 small Access 2010 reports that the users can call up, but the users can also modify/change any field in those reports. How do I secure the reports such that the user can view the contents , but will be unable to change any of it's values.
How to save a report as a pdf file - 2010
Just updating our database following conversion from 2000 to 2010.
Used Stephen Lebans code to save reports as .pdf in 2000 but doesn't work well with 2010.
I know 2010 allows reports to be saved as .pdf files but just having a mental blank on how this is done
What is switchboard
A Switchboard is a type of form that displays a menu of items that a user can click on to launch data entry forms, reports, queries and other actions in the database. A switchboard is typically created after all of the forms and reports for a database application have been completed. It can be used to guide the user to an appropriate set of forms and reports.
Note that starting with Access 2010, Switchboards are not available by default (you will need to add this to the ribbon bar manually using the Options). Access 2010 now makes use of the Navigation Forms
Can't publish Access 2010 reports to SharePoint 2010 site
I have a 2010 Access database that contains data fueled from a 2010 SharePoint list. From this data, I have created several reports that I would like to make available on the same 2010 SharePoint site in which the data came from.
I'm attempting to do this via Save & Publish>Publish to Access Services. After I enter my SharePoint site's URL and Site Name (I have also run the compatibility checker with no issue), I am asked to verify my credentials. I then receive this error message from Access:
(URL) did not respond. Either the server does not exist, Microsoft Access Services are not enabled on the server, or the server is using an older version of Microsoft Access Services that isnot compatible with Access 2010.
According to our IT department "The SharePoint 2010 Central Farm is configured for Access Services. The feature has to be enabled at both the Site Collection and Site level."
I also noticed if I right click on a report, and select Export, "sharepoint" is greyed out.
Managing headers across forms and reports
I am creating a DB with several forms and reports and would like all the forms to have the same header section with a logo and nearly all the reports to have another one.)
I'm using Access 2003 and have not found anyway of creating master template to do this and am thinking the best way would be to define a common Word object and paste the same object to each form/ report.
Is there a better way?
Save Form In PDF Format
Unlike previous versions, Access 2010 offers a direct way to publish reports and forms in widely used document publishing format – PDF. Once you've done creating your forms in Access 2010, you can export the form into PDF and XPS format
Create Backup Of Access 2010 Database
Creating backup of databases is the most important thing and must not be overlooked. Access 2010 offers a simple and easy way of creating backup of database you're working on. To begin, open the Access 2010 database and close down all table fields. Now on File menu, click Save & Publish.
Need to only allow users to use forms/reports in 2010 Access database
I have been all over the internet reading about Access 2010 security and how user-level security is not in this latest version of Access.
I have built a database of our clients' contracts and other information. I have coworkers that are seriously technologically challenged. I want them to be able to use the database to lookup information on their particular clients that they manage by using reports and forms that I've created.
I do not want them to be able to manipulate the data in any way because they would do something, click somewhere and not know what they did or where they clicked.
I split my database but there is still access to the tables and they can be changed so that's not the answer. I was hoping there was a way to only allow them to see reports and forms sothey wouldn't be able to inadvertently mess up the database.
How To Print Only Access 2010 Reports Data
Access 2010 let users view Reports in print preview to set the report elements in a way they want. Along with printing complete report with all the applied formatting, it also allows user to print only data contained in report.
report filter not working in Access 2010 SP1
Windows auto installed Office 2010 SP 1 and now my Access 2010 reports no longer work. It is a Access 2003 mdb file running in Access 2010. It was working fine till SP 1 was installed.
DoCmd.OpenReport strReportName, acViewPreview, , strSQL
the report opens fine, but no longer filters like it used to. (In my case I am filtering dates, using the # characters.)
Download in MS Word file format (.doc)
This tutorial has been designed to give an introduction to some of the basic features of MS Access. The tutorial will cover the following topics:
Creating a database; Creating tables; Changing the Field Properties in the tables; Adding Lookup Tables; Creating relationships; Adding Passwords to the database; Creating simple forms using the Form Wizard; Adding graphics and creating customized forms; Creating forms using multiple tables; Creating reports using the report wizard; Formatting reports; Creating Switchboards.
Access 2000 Database Report freezing until opening other reports
I am running a 2000 Access Database that when I go to open a certain Report (containing sub forms) will cause Access 2010 to stop responding. It will do this with all versions of the Database and on both 2007/2010 Access, and until I start opening other reports (It takes me opening all of them it seems) then automagically the first report works.
I should note that this is not my Database, rather I inherited it from my Boss. So I do not know where all the guts are and where they go.
Access 2013 Creating Reports
If you need to share information from your database with someone but don't want that person actually working with your database, consider creating a report. Reports allow you to organize and present your data in a reader-friendly, visually appealing format. Access makes it easy to create and customize a report using data from any query or table in your database. In this lesson, you will learn how to create, modify, and print reports.
Access 2010 Multi User Databse Set up
What would be the steps to follow to take an existing Access 2010 accdb and split out the data tables from the forms, reports, queries, etc.?
Access Runtime 2010, tables, forms and reports and not visible
What am I missing with Access 2010 Runtime?
I have a small database I would like to distribute to a few people who don't have Access. I published that database as an ACCDE.
I installed Access 2010 Runtime on a co-worker's machine as my test case. I copied the new ACCDE also on that co-worker's computer. When I tried to open the ACCDE, it opened but none of the tables/forms/reports were visible.
What am I missing? How do I easily distribute databases to those without Access? Is there something special I need to do?
Access 2010 User Groups
I have recently started to build a new database using Access 2010 and have now found that the UserGroups have been taken away, and I was wondering if there is a way to set permissions from a table to allow certain users access to certain parts of the database, mostly all form access and then run reports.
Does anyone have an ideas and possible sample they might share to get me going.

Hotel Orient Star: Back in the USSR
You could be excused for thinking that is where you are when you check in at Shahrisabz's only 3 star hotel (there are none with 4 stars). Vast echoing corridors lead off the vast echoing lobby and the rooms, whilst spacious and clean were functional rather than stylish. Built during the Soviet era and still undergoing renovations (the upper floors seemed to be deserted and, from the outside, still awaiting the renovator's touch), there's more than a whiff of the old regime about the place - you wouldn't be surprised to find an old-style floor supervisor guarding the bathplugs here, but if there is, she'd gone off for tea when we were there and the young men who seemed to be in charge were quite charming , if more than a little flummoxed by the responsibility of their jobs.
We were greeted with a smile and a welcome pot of tea, breakfast (served in an upstairs dining room that brought a smile of recognition to the face of the member of our group who had studied in Russia in the 1980s) was copious. It was all fine, we were only there for a night and if I were to return to Shahrisabz (and I just might do that one day) I'd stay here again ... not that there's a lot of choice!
Situated at the top end of Ipak Yuli Street, with a view across the Victory Park and the statue of Temur, the hotel is in an ideal location for an evening or early morning stroll down the main street of the town. It is the only hotel in town used by tour groups so, even though most tours treat Shahrisabz as a day excursion from Samarkand, booking would be wise if you're travelling inderpendently in high season - Spring and Autumn - as other options are very limited and there's no town nearby to move on to should there be no room at the inn.

How Do You Handle E-Mail Overload?
Once again, I have collapsed under the weight of a Mount Everest of e-mails.
E-mail and information overload seem inevitable. The moment I arrive at a new job, I acquire another e-mail address, with the number of e-mail addresses and accounts attached to me now close to the number of fingers that I have -- Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, and even an e-mail address for alumni. I want to prove to myself -- and to my attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)...

Every Day Is New Year's Day in ADHDland
In the post-New Year's champagne-popping hangover, I decided to skip New Year's resolutions and have chosen to reflect upon what I've learned since leaving Gotham for Asia last fall.
I've said this before, but the mantra remains the same: Every day is New Year's Day in ADHDland -- a chance to dream up new goals, new promises, new vows, a few that are fulfilled but many that soon become orphaned, left hanging at the wayside. Somewhere in the many piles of papers I've accumulated over the years, I have to-do lists...

'The Films of Robert Bresson: A Casebook' spans Bresson's entire career, with interviews and essays addressing the great auteur's oeuvre from every artistic angle. The interviews presented here—by such noted cineastes as Jean-Luc Godard, Paul Schrader, and David Thomson—elicited authorial comment from an auteur not known for his garrulousness, and they are either as aesthetically inclusive or as journalistically pointed as possible. For their part, the essays in this volume are by such luminous figures as André Bazin, Susan Sontag, and François Truffaut. Each interview is followed either by an essay on the film discussed in the interview, an essay on Bresson's work by the interviewer himself, or an essayistic overview of Bresson's career when the preceding interview itself is survey-like. In this way the book 'bounces' the essays and interviews off one another so as to stimulate a kind of semi-continuous critical conversation about the films, their maker, and the interviewers themselves. The result is something that may be as good as criticism itself: enlightened authorial comment.

Large or small, readers' gifts are all appreciated
In my 25 years of writing for newspapers, I've been blessed with some rather interesting "gifts" from readers.
Most come in the form of notes or letters that make me want to keep writing, if only in the hope that I'll get better at it.
Some offer friendship. A reader, for instance, in Alabama writes every week or so with long, newsy letters that never fail to make me smile.
Once, she even got her 5-year-old nephew to send me his picture (yes, he is cute) and a handmade valen-tine.
I've been "adopted," more or less, by a wonderful clan in either Tennessee or Virginia, or maybe both, who keep me informed on the latest family developments and send photos of all the newborn additions.
An elderly couple (older than I am) from Texas tell me that my columns are like letters from the daughter they never had, but not quite good enough to include me in their will.
Young people (younger than I am) like to joke that they only read what I write because their mothers send it to them. At least, I think they're joking.
One of my favorite notes came from a man who said he works in a psychiatric unit, where he likes to read my column to patients because it tends to make them laugh.
I can't imagine higher praise.
Sometimes readers send more than just words. Birthday cakes, for example; I've had several, including two from one source.
Susan Bartholow, a columnist at the Times West Virginian in Fairmont, W.V., once sent me an honest-to-Betty-Crocker real cake. I was out of town when it arrived and didn't open it for two weeks. So the next year she sent me a make your own birthday cake kit.
At a book signing some years ago in Northern California, a woman presented me with a large ceramic angel about the size of Danny DeVito. Looked a bit like him, too. It was so heavy I could barely drag it to my car.
A man from my home state of North Carolina mailed me a rock from the Davidson River after I wrote about sitting on its banks fishing with my dad.
A woman in Nebraska sent embroidered tea towels like the ones my grandmother made.
I've received care packages filled with body lotions, bubble bath, lip gloss, spot remover, a dandy little letter opener, out-of-date calendars and a pair of hand-crocheted slippers that will fit any foot, even mine.
Oh, and books. Tons of books. Entire libraries. Usually sent by their authors.
And then there was the package that arrived last week. I'm still not sure how to explain it. It came from a reader in Indiana. We'll call her Linda.
Linda had e-mailed to say a gift was on its way, but by the time it arrived, I forgot.
Imagine my surprise to open the box and pull out a big, fuzzy, sparkly, shaggy, multicolored ... thing.
An enclosed letter called it a "prayer net." Linda had knitted it, she said, just for me and had prayed for me with every stitch.
I once tried to crochet a baby blanket for my firstborn; worked on it for nine months and it looked like a place mat.
When I wrote to thank Linda for her kindness, she wrote back to say this year has been the most difficult of her life.
She survived it, she said, by learning to pray for others — by knitting prayers together with bits of yarn.
I didn't ask what her prayers had been for me. It didn't matter, really. Knitted prayers are like crocheted slippers.
One size fits all.

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Geisha (pronounced /ˈɡeɪʃә/), like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning "art" and 者 (sha) meaning "person" or "doer". The most literal translation of geisha into English would be "artist" or "performing artist". Another name for geisha used in Japan is geiko, which is usually used to refer to geisha from Western Japan, including Kyoto.
Apprentice geisha are called maiko (舞子 or 舞妓, literally "dance child") or hangyoku (半玉), "half-jewel" (meaning that they are paid half the wage as opposed to a full geisha), or by the more generic term o-shaku (御酌), literally "one who pours (alcohol)". Maikos' white make-up and elaborate kimono and hairstyle is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to start out as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha. Either way, however, usually a year's training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community. However, those who...

ClassicsOnline Home » WEILL: Eternal Road (The) (Highlights) > Review List
This world-premiere recording of scenes from Kurt Weill's rediscoverd masterpiece The Eternal Road brings to life a major 20th-century work that was a sensation of the 1937 New York season. Originally conceived as a biblical pageant, a profound music-drama, and a theatrical extravaganza, The Eternal Road combines the legends of timeless Jewish heroes and heroines with all-too-familiar story of persecution in Europe. Set against a richly colored backdrop, Weill's masterful score embodies the passions and aspirations of many dramatic characters in search of their Jewish Destiny.
This is an extraordinary, unique work... The singing is never less than good, frequently excellent. The record makes one long to hear the music in its entirety.
Any Who's Who of important composers and performers on the American classical music scene, past and present, includes a proportion of Jewish-Americans that is far higher than their share of the country's total population. A passion for art music, both secular and liturgical, and pride in the accomplishments of great Jewish musicians, is a principal vehicle for ethnic self-identification. If the Jewish tradition permitted beatification, there would surely be a St. Heifitz, St. Bernstein and the like. Now the passion and presence are being documented via an ambitious, well-funded partnership between the Milken Family Foundation and Naxos.
The first CD features selections from Kurt Weill's The Eternal Road, a magisterial 6-hour pageant. A pogrom erupts and the Jewish community gathers in a synagogue to await its fate. While waiting, they recall their people's history from Genesis onwards. Weill, born into an eminent German-Jewish clerical family, had the deep knowledge to pull this off. He hoped the pageant would mobilize American public opinion to save Europe's Jews.
The Eternal Road involved 250 performers on five stages, with the synagogue in the orchestra pit. There was literally no room for the orchestra, so the music was recorded on a film track. Its 1937 New York premier was a critical success, and the pageant went through 153 performances. Full houses were, alas, insufficient to finance the giant effort, which bankrupted its producer, Meyer Weisgall.
Intense, virtuosic clarinet improvisations are a hallmark of Klezmer music. Three of the five compositions on Milken's second CD, "Klezmer Concertos and Encores", are inspired by this virtuosity. Ellenstein's Hassidic Dance is late romantic, Starter's K'li Zemer is accessible modernism, and Golijov's Rocketekya is pure New York avant-garde. All three are showcases for David Krakauer's magic clarinet. Krakauer trained at Julliard and the Conservatoire de Paris. He's equally at home playing new composed music, standard repertoire, and his own avant-garde ensemble, "Klezmer Madness."
Highly recommended.
Conceived as a biblical pageant, The Eternal Road is Kurt Weill's most ambitious work. In a massive sequence of words and music – lasting (if uncut) around five hours – the piece links the stories of biblical characters with the latter-day persecution of Jews in Europe. Originally presented in New York in 1937, it proved too cumbersome for its own good and was quickly forgotten. Yet it contains some of the most inspired music that Weill ever wrote, demonstrating that after he fled from Europe to America his genius remained as fertile and original as ever. This generous selection of musical items, lasting 73 minutes, gives an excellent idea of the piece, very well performed and recorded in Berlin with American soloist and conductor. The vigour of the writing brings a most attractive image of the Broadway style that Weill was developing. That includes such numbers as the fine chorus representing the Israelites' Dance around the Golden Calf, while the duet between Ruth and Naomi effectively avoids sentimentality in its gentle dance rhythms, and the duet between Ruth and Boaz, similarly popular in style, develops passionately. First-rate sound.
