(Cl. 74-91 expansion of the space provided by the body and it is an object of the invention to provide an improved, extensible control mechanism for such expansible vehicles or similar contrivances.
It is known that, for the unfolding of such a telescopelike assembly, a mechanism may be employed comprising a casing having the shape of an elongated box and as many extended members slidingly mounted in said box as there are moving portions in the telescope-like assembly, each of such members being connected to one respective moving portion, and comprising, furthermore, a driving member for extending or retracting the mechanism which, in itself, constitutes a telescope-like device.
In known solutions, the driving member is connected by a driving shaft to the outside portion of the telescopelike assembly which is to be moved, thus assuring a positive extending and retracting of the outside portion. Each of the intermediate portions is, however, moved with the aid of the outside portion by means of a chain or a link connection operating, for example, by traction so that there is no positive, direct drive acting on each of the intermediate portions.
Furthermore, the pulling in of each or all of the intermediate portions is merely eifected by a thrust exerted thereon by the adjacent outside portion which first must fold in with respect to the associated intermediate portion before it can exercise its pressure thereagainst.
Consequently, during the extending operation as well as during the retracting of the expansible portions, impacts, jams and abnormal stresses may occur because the various telescope-like portions may not fold into each other with an exactly lateral motion.
Accordingly, another object of the invention is to eliminate such drawbacks by proviting a positive, direct drive for the various moving portions of the telescope-like assembly of a vehicle body or similar traveling or stationary structure.
In achieving its improvements, the invention provides an improved control mechanism for a telescope-like assembly comprising a box wherein a telescope-like unit moves in the manner of a telescope with respect to each telescope-like assembly which is to be driven and is provided with as many elongated, moving members as there are moving portions in said assembly.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an improved mechanism is characterized in that each of the elongated, moving members of a telescope-like unit is provided with a toothed rack, the racks engaging with pinions mounted on the same driving shaft and perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the moving mem- 2,842,972 Patented July 15, 1958 bers. These pinions have pitch circles which, in relation to each other, have the same proportion or proportions as the desired range of movement of the moving portions of the corresponding telescope-like assembly as will hereinafter be described in detail.
For the provision of a telescope-like assembly having, for example, two moving portions which are to have the same travel path, the telescope-like unit is provided with two elongated members having toothed racks which mesh with tWo pinions whereof the pitch circle ratio is 1 to 2.
Another object of the invention is to provide vehicles or other contrivances and installations having expansible bodies with one or a plurality of mechanisms of the aforedescribed improved type.
Other objects and structuraldetails of the invention will -'be apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings showing preferred embodiments of the invention, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective fragmentary sectional view of an improved, boxed control mechanism, according to one embodiment of the invention, for driving a telescopeelike section with two moving portions,
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the mechanism of Fig. 1 in extended position,
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the mechanism of Figs. 1 and 2,
Fig. 4 is a large-scale, vertical sectional view of the mechanism taken along line 44 of Fig. 3,
Fig. 5 is a vertical fragmentary sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 4,
Fig. 6 is a horizontal fragmentary sectional view taken along line 6-6 of Fig. 4,
Fig. 7 is a vertical fragmentary sectional view of a vehicle with an extended expansible body provided with a plurality of improved control mechanisms of the type shown in Figs. 1 to 6,
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the vehicle according to Fig. 7, and
Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view of the vehicle of Fig. 7, however, the vehicle body is shown in the retracted position.
Referring now to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the indicated control mechanism is double-acting. In effect, it is so designed as to permit a longitudinal motion in the direction of arrows f1 and f2, respectively (Figs. 1 to 3), and includes two shafts 1 and 1a which are perpendicular to the directions of the unfolding of two respective and independent telescope-like assemblies. Consequently, the mechanism is provided with two units of telescope-like longitudinal members 23 and 2a3a moving in an elongated casing or common box 4 which constitutes the housing of the mechanism and with which members 2-3 and 2a- 3a themselves form devices in the manner of a telescope.
The box 4 has the shape of a parallelopided sheath with a rectangular cross section, with open ends. Preferably, it consists, as shown, of two U-shaped members 5 and 6 welded together at the seam 7 (Figs. 1 and 3) along the edges of their wings.
On the outside, the box 4 is reinforced on the two large sides thereof, on the one hand, by two pairs of fiat iron bars 88a at the ends of the sides, and, on the other hand, by means of a plurality of angle irons 9 serving to fasten the box to the vehicle frame or to any other appropriate support. To give a clear illustration, the angle irons are not shown in Fig. 1, however, they can be seen in Figs. 2 to 4.
The units of members 2-3 and 2a-3a are arranged and driven in a similar manner. Therefore, only the operation relating to the unit including members 23 will be described; and in the drawings, the corresponding elements in the unit including members 2a-3a are indi- 3 cated by the same reference numbers, with the addition of the letter a.
The elongated member 2 consists of a hollow-shaped girder of 'C-shaped cross-section with a rectangular crosssection (Fig. 4) formed, for example, by a flat iron bent to a shape indicated by points a-bc-def. The two longitudinal edges a and f, facing each other, are spaced from each other in order to provide a longitudinal opening 10. It will be noted that the two openings and 10a, of the two respective girders 2 and 2a, face each other. In other words, they are turned toward the longitudinal vertical middle plane of the box 4.
On each of the four corners, the iron 2 is reinforced by means of four longitudinal angle irons 11. Furthermore, at each end the member 2 has its opening 10 closed by a plate 12 (Figs. 1 and 2). The member 2 is guided at the two ends and the center of the box 4.
The guides of member 2 at the end of box 4 consist of a set of bottom rollers 13 idling on a shaft 14, and a set of top rollers 15 (Fig. 1) idling on another shaft 16.
At the center of the box the members 2 are guided by a pair of top rollers 17 (Figs. 1, 3 and 4) idling on shaft 18 which is mounted on one of the side walls of the box and a middle partition 19 as shown in Fig. 3.
Finally, at the other end of the box, on the left side in Figs. 1 and 3, member 2, when it is about to be completely drawn into the box, is guided by another pair of bottom rollers 20 which can be seen in Fig. 4 mounted on a shaft 21.
Hence, each of the members 2 or 2a, respectively, is always maintained at the same elevation regardless of whether it is partially projecting from box 4 as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, or is totally drawn into the box.
It should be, furthermore, noted that the lower portion of the inside wing ef of the member 2 constitutes a toothed rack including a row of perforations 21 (Figs. 1, 2 and 4).
The second member 3, moving inside of the member 2, is of an I-shape or double T-shape. It is guided, inside of the coordinated member 2, by means of two pairs of rollers being mounted on the member 2 and enclosing the base of inside member 3.
Thus, in Fig. 2, the pairs of rollers 22-23 and 22a23a, respectively, may be seen while the two pairs of rollers for member 3a are shown on the left side of Fig. 4. The two bottom rollers 23a are mounted on one and the same shaft 24a, whereas the top rollers 22a are provided on two separate trunnions 2511.
Furthermore, to the right of the opening 10 of the corresponding outside member 2, the inside member 3 is provided with a bar 26 having perforations 27 so as to constitute a rack (see particularly Figs. 1 and 6).
The unit of telescope-like members 2-3 is coupled to drive or stub shaft 1 which enables it to unfold or retract by direct actuation. To that end, wedged to the shaft 1 is a worm screw 28 (Figs. 3, 4 and 5) meshing with worm wheel 29. The wheel 29 is keyed to a vertical shaft 30 whereon are wedged two pinions 3132 respectively located to the right of racks 21-27 so as to engage therewith. Preferably, the pitch diameter of pinion 31 is one half the pitch diameter of pinion 32.
Under these circumstances, when shaft 1 is rotated, for example, in the direction of arrow f3 (Figs. 1, 2, S), the corresponding vertical shaft 30 will itself be rotated, for example, in the direction of arrow f4 (Figs. 1 and 4), and the two corresponding pinions will bring forth a travel of members 23, inthe direction of arrow f1. Owing to the difference in the pitch diameters of the two pinions, the inside member 3 will be driven at twice the speed of that of member 2, which is communicated to the latter by pinion 31.
Consequently, the two telescope-like members 23 (or 2a-3a) will move at the same speed, the former in relation to box 4, and the latter relative to the former.
When shaft 1 rotates in the reverse direction of arrow f3, the telescope-like members 23 will be shifted reversely to the direction of arrow f1, at the same speeds as described above, so that, simultaneously, member 2 will be drawn into box 4 with the member 3.
All of the foregoing statements apply as well to members 2a3a, except that they move in an opposite direction to that of the members 2 and 3.
Reference will now be made to Figs. 7 to 9, showing an application of the described mechanism in an expansible motor vehicle.
According to this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle has the usual chassis, in the drawings merely indicated digarammatically by means of two frame side members 33 which rest, with the aid of known suspension, upon the usual wheel trains, one in front at front wheels and the other at the rear at rear wheels 35, and including the front cab 36.
Upon side members 33 are transversely mounted, by means of the side brackets 9, boxes 4 of four mechanisms M1, M2, M3 and M4 of the aforedescribed type, each being provided with four sliding members 2-3, 2a-3a. Drive shafts 1 and 1a, respectively, of these mechanisms are mounted parallel to the side members 33 of the chassis, and are driven through the reduction gears 37 and 37a by an intermediate transversal shaft 38 (Fig. 3) connected by means of a transmission, for example, with pulleys 39 and 40, and belt 41 to an electric motor 42 for rotation in two directions.
It will be noticed that, preferably, the intermediate shaft 38 drives shafts 1 and 1a from points located between the two mechanisms in the middle, M2 and M3, i. e., at about the center of said shafts, in order to permit as synchronous a drive as possible of all telescope-like members without any danger that this operation will be to any substantial degree influenced by a resilient torsion of shafts 1 and 1a, respectively, as could occur if these shafts were to be controlled at the front or rear ends thereof, as had been previously customary.
Furthermore, in the event of a lack of electric power, the shaft 38 could be driven from the crankshaft, from the rear of the vehicle, by means of an auxiliary shaft 43 connected to the shaft 38 through a pair of bevel gears 44.
The expansible vehicle body rests on mechanisms M1 to M4, the body being of a Well known construction, having a fixed center portion A and two telescope-like assemblies BC and DE, respectively, which may be extended laterally, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, or retracted into the fixed center portion as shown in Fig. 9.
It sutfices to say that the center portion A is directly fastened upon boxes 4 of the four mechanisms, whereas the two adjacent portions B and D are respectively attached on the ends of members 2 and 2A of each drive mechanism by means of a customary linkage, diagrammatically indicated at 45 in Fig. 7. Finally, members 3 and 3a are each attached at linkage 46 (Fig. 7) to the downward extending projections 47 of side walls 48 of the outside body portions C and E.
It will be noted that the floors of the various body portions are arranged in any known manner, in order to permit the extending and retracting of the body portions. For example, as shown, center portion A may be provided with a fixed center fioor portion 49 connected to the small outside floor portions 50 and 50a by means of portions 51-52, 51a-52a being hingedly mounted about longitudinal axes in relation to each other and in relation to the outside portions.
As can be readily seen, in order to produce the expansion and/or the retracting of the body, it is only necessary to have the electric motor drive, through the shaft 38, shafts 1 and 1a, respectively, in one or the other direction.
It is understood that the invention is in no way limited to the described and shown embodiments thereof, they being merely examples indicating the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
Although various of the features of the invention have been described above, particular attention should be further directed to some of the details of the apparatus which are shown in the drawing, but which have not been specifically noted.
Thus, for example, in the preferred embodiment of the invention the members 2 and 3, as well as 2a and 3a, are so coupled (as seen in Fig. 2) that when fully extended, the members 2 are still engaged by one half of their respective lengths within the box 4 thereby insuring the rigidity of the structure. The members 2 are controlled to extend only to this degree by providing the perforations only along one half of the lengths thereof. Accordingly, the pinions can drive the racks no further.
Furthermore, it will be noted that the members 3, in fully extended position, retain half of their respective lengths within the extended members 2. This result is achieved by limiting the number of apertures 27 which constitute the associated rack. Stops (not shown) may also be provided and the 1:2 gear ratio also contributes to the retaining of the various members in engagement along one half of their lengths. It is therefore assured that a very rigid inflexible system is provided with a good bearing surface ratio.
It is also to be noted that, by providing the aperture 10, the invention enables the use of a single shaft 30 for driving the pinions 31 and 32. Not only does this present a simple and uncomplicated structure with respect to maintenance and assembly, but it further assures an accurate control of the gearing ratio with respect to driving the members 2 and 3 since the related physical dimensions, the diameters of the pinions, are readily determined and provided.
A further advantage of the structure provided is that, if desired, a plurality of units can be arranged in a vertical stack arranged with the units in parallel or transverse. It will be clear from an inspection of Fig. 1 that the single shaft 30 can readily be adapted to drive the proposed multiplicity of units.

I admit I was a bit disappointed by this novel because I truly loved the first one. This one instead seemed not to let Guinevere character grow too much and to mix different POV without a real direction.
Spoilers of what I liked and what I liked less:
The novel starts when Guinevere and Arthur have been already married for some years. Guinevere is still not particularly taken with Arthur and she is polite but mildly disinterested in him and Camelot.

I only finished reading this book because I need it for my essay, I think -- and because I'm being bribed to (I love my friends). It's not so terrible, but I'm just so totally bored by it -- Guinevere is totally unsympathetic, whatever the author was trying to do, and the humour in it just doesn't do anything for me. And the unicorn stuff makes me wince, and I'm not sure what the heck is going on with the Geraldus stuff -- it's always seemed fairly unnecessary. I hope it wasn't just for the Merl ...more

I didn't enjoy this as much as the last one - I think because it seemed more firmly set in the typical Arthurian settings instead of the transition period from Roman Britain that I discussed in my review of the first book. I think I've figured out too that I find the development of the Arthurian legend more interesting than the culmination of it in the creation of Camelot. I also, as I predicted, really disliked the love triangle, especially since there was nearly nothing to like about this self ...more

I liked this fantasy version of this part of Guinevere's life better than its predecessor in the series, Guinevere. It seemed to me that Guinevere became more considerate of others and understood her place as Arthur's queen. In short, she had more depth than in Guinevere. Her sensitivity to those around her has developed and she cares about others. Arthur is delightfully real - a man who adores his wife and seeks to protect her against all danger. His goals for a peaceful kingdom were admirable. ...more

Pandora's Promise Offers One Side of the Nuclear Debate
Like its gaggle of former anti-nuke environmentalists who've now switched sides, Pandora's Promise takes the form of a traditional liberal pop-doc while proffering a decidedly nonconformist message. The case for nuclear power as the solution to both the planet's rapidly escalating energy needs and the climate change produced by fossil fuels and natural gas is aggressively, and somewhat convincingly, made by writer-director Robert Stone. His doc bolsters his stance via a group of experts who have abandoned their prior activist assumptions about nuclear energy (and radiation) in the face of supposedly overwhelming evidence that it's actually safe and clean. Investigating Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the recent fallout from Fukushima while also delivering mounds of data about the boundless possibilities afforded by the technology—as well as confronting the fears surrounding it, most of which are rooted in its WWII bomb origins—the film deploys the usual mixture of talking heads, graphics, and archival footage to compelling effect. Alas, its argument against fear-driven orthodoxy is undercut by the fact that, as with so many of this subgenre's entrants, there are no substantial competing voices included in the mix, so that the proceedings, no matter how logical their contentions, come off as merely one side of the debate.

Courage has many faces. I'm speaking about personal courage, staring honesty in the face and the boldness to stand up for what we believe.

Past Featured Trip Reports

| The Tragedy of the 1979 Korean
McKinley Expedition by Sierra Ledge Rat
The 1979 Korean
McKinley Expedition was led by Ko Sang Don, who successfully climbed Mount
Everest two years previously. He was joined by three other climbers from the
Republic of Korea (South Korea): Kim Un Young, Park Hoon Kyu and Lee Ill Kyo.
The expedition was sponsored by the Los Angeles-based newspaper Korea Times.
| Jonathan Conville Alpine Skills
Course 30th July - 1st August 2008 by Nanuls
This summer I was the recipient of a fantastic piece of luck in being offered a place on a generously subsidised Alpine skills course run by Plas y Brenin (a prestigious Welsh outdoor centre) on behalf of the Jonathan Conville Memorial Trust (of course I accepted the offer). Jonathan Conville was a promising young Alpinist whose life was cut short in a climbing accident on the north face of the Matterhorn in the winter of 1979. He was 27 years old. The trust was established by members of his family to promote and teach, predominantly young people, safe and enjoyable mountaineering practices by absorbing some of the costs of skills courses that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive for many people.More
| El Diente - Mount Wilson Traverse :
2008 by Ingman
The game-plan was to climb El Diente (14,159) first via the long West ridge and then continuing along this ridge (El Diente - Wilson Traverse) all the way to Mt. Wilson (14,246). We would then descend down the North Ridge of Mount Wilson and meet up with the trail to Navajo Lake and our campsite. To the left is a map of our intended (and roughly followed) line of ascent and descent. Approximately 16 miles roundtrip.More
| Pomeroy to Carbonate Traverse:A
Southern Sawatch Six Pack by shknbke
I decided to take a 3 day weekend to hit some peaks before the summer got away from me. A trip to the southern Sawatch came about at the last minute on the way to a fun weekend in the San Juans. This is a cool loop hike that collects 5 ranked 13ers, 3 of which are bi-centennials! The ridges between these peaks can be kept at class 3, so you can move fairly well. I drove up FR-200 the night before and found a nice secluded pullout near the old Jennings Creek TH for Tabeguache. I was real worried about being able to pull this off, so a 4:15am start was in order. I drove my car up to the point on the map marked as the Shavano townsite, but I didn't see any old buildings in the dark.More
| Dreischusterspitze - Dante and the
Shoemaker by Hydronium
Wind, ice, rock, and air. There
was plenty of windy air around me, as I was dangling on the knife-edge thin
ridge of dolomite rock and ice. The last few seconds had been a blur.
The rock had given in.
Seconds later I saw it fall just below my feet; shortly after…a crash. It
would not be long, I thought, as I held, strongly, but hopelessly; all I tried
to do was, one last time, smell life around me – a flower, a scent, sweetness.
No. There was just a cold, bitter wind. Anger; melancholy. I should let go, that
was it. YET…..
….of course this stuff would never happen to a "noob" like me. It was just
to grab your attention.
| Our Palisade Traverse: Long Day's
Journey into Night by bechtt
I had been intrigued on doing the
Palisade Traverse for sometime ever since reading Bob Burd's harrowing trip
report from his 2002 Sierra Challenge. It had been on Augie's checklist since
August 2003 when Climbing magazine featured it as one of "America's 4 Best
Ridge Traverses." I had attempted to climb Thunderbolt the year before but my
partner and I had failed to "lasso" the summit block and we departed
| Monarch of the Wasatch - Jacobs
Ladder by Rocky Alps
Lone Peak is a stunning mountain. Arguably the most difficult peak to climb within the Wasatch, its jagged summit is a prominent part of the skyline above Salt Lake City, and on a clear day from the top you can see all the way to Ben Lomond in the north and Mount Nebo in the south. Of the various types of rock found within the Wasatch, the granite in Lone Peak's alpine cirque is the best around. Just getting to the cirque requires considerable effort though, since all of the trailheads are at relatively low elevations (over a vertical mile below the summit).More
A Rude Awakening on Teewinot Mountain
by TomSellick
Long story short, I flew into Jackson on the 16th of July. I had been planning this trip for a while, memorizing route descriptions, and basically obsessing over the peaks I was hoping to attempt: Teewinot and Grand Teton. Some of you probably replied to some of my questions a few weeks before. The pilot on our plane announced we would prepare to descend, so I knew the mountains were near. I strained my neck to see out the tiny plane window, spotting a few jagged peaks in the distance. Were those the Tetons? I thought I could make out the profile of the Grand, but I wasn't sure. The plane turned a little more and I could see a much larger group. Those must be them. I laugh at myself now. Finally the plane made a huge left and the Teton range stood about eye-level with me, rising out of the valley with such ferocity; like nothing I'd ever seen except maybe the Sierra Nevada. They literally took my breath away. Someone in the seat behind me said "Holy shit," and I agreed wholeheartedly.More
| One wedding and a summit: Grossglockner solo
by kamil
It is already dark when I pass the toll booth near the top of the
Grossglocknerstrasse above Kals. There is no one inside. After several hundred
metres, just before I reach the Lucknerhaus mountain hut, first raindrops hit my
windscreen. After a minute or two the rain suddenly changes into a proper
downpour. Is the Big Bellringer telling me to bugger off even before showing
himself to me?
| Big, Black and Beautiful: Tasting
the Kaweah Mystique by Augie
I had the good fortune to have a friend and hiking/climbing
partner, Tom Becht (SP bechtt), who initiated the plans to tackle the Kaweahs. A
third candidate was unable to make it, so it was Tom and me in the end.

Photograph of the start of William Paley's 1802 book on Natural Theology" showing the title and text of his opening "Watchmaker analogy". Also in the photo are an Orrery mechanism and an original signed letter by William Paley. "Paley's Watch" is a teleological argument that the discovery of a designed object would logically suggest the existence of a designer, just as the presence of complex nature suggests a God. Paley was not the first, but is the most famous, proponent of this analogy. Paley owes much to the work of John Ray in his "Wisdom of God as Manifest in his Works of Creation" (1691). Darwin enjoyed the closely argued logic of this set text while a student at Cambridge - though his own "Origin of Species" (1859) would suggest a...
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft.

Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/19/12
The Houston Texans won't have long to lament the mistakes they made against the Jacksonville Jaguars before rallying for a wild 43-37 overtime win. They've got a quick turnaround before playing their first Thanksgiving game against Detroit where they'll look to improve on their franchise-best 9-1 start. Coach Gary Kubiak said playing four days after an overtime game, ''is tough, but I think that's what builds the character of your team.'' He said they'll have very light workouts this week and most of their preparations for the Lions will be mental instead of physical. The good news for his team is that it won't play again until Dec. 2 after this one. ''As hard as it is, you get a chance to give the guys a break after the game,'' he said. ''You've got a big period between that and your next game, so I think that gets them excited.'' Now the Texans face the NFC's top offense as they begin a three-game road swing that could be critical to their playoff positioning. They'll play A...

Amino acids shown to be required for activity in mammalian ACE are highlighted. The histidines in the HExxH motif are required for zinc coordination, whereas the glutamate is required for catalysis. The downstream glutamate is required for zinc coordination. This is replaced by glutamine in ANCE-3.

Is Robert Zemeckis ready to tap his human side again? The filmmaker seems to have been distracted and sidetracked by filmmaking toys in his last few years. There was the run of early pioneering motion capture work ("The Polar Express," "A Christmas Carol," "Beowulf"), but even with his "return" to live-action filmmaking, "Flight" with Denzel Washington, the most convincing sequence in the entire movie was the dynamic and horrifying plane crash. Even "The Walk," which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as young quixotic dreamer with an ambition to wire walk between the World Trade Center towers looks like an excuse to induce vertigo with 3D technology. So, what will Zemeckis hide behind in an upcoming untitled World War II thriller with romantic dimensions? Considering his cast, we hope nothing. Zemeckis' latest already stars Brad Pitt, and Marion Cotillard has just joined the cast as his love interest. Penned by Steve Knight ("Peaky. »

"The difference between traditional and technical images, then, would be this: the first are observations of objects, the second computations of concepts. The first arise through depiction, the second through a peculiar hallucinatory power that has lost its faith in rules." —Vilém Flusser, "Into the Universe of Technical Images" Lately I often find myself, usually in squalid municipal airport bars in Douglas, Arizona or Butte, Montana, having the following exchange:q: "Is there anything you don't hate about the movies?"A: "Yeah. Bob Zemeckis." Which seems like, I guess, an indefensible position, now that he's burned through the brave sordid purgatory of his infamous mo-cap period and not quite gnawed his way out. Ah, the thankless fate of the pioneer. History will absolve you, Robert. But, alas, here's Beowulf. The most interesting filmmaker of his time, Zemeckis's 2007 fulminant data explosion & puppet show got some stupid mixed reviews when it came out. »

As VFX technology marches on at speed, more and more of our favourite movie characters are being brought to life by actors driving a performance capture digital creation.
Though Andy Serkis's Caesar from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Sharlto Copley's Chappie sit at the cutting edge today, in its current form it actually stretches back nearly 20 years to Star Wars's much-maligned Jar Jar Binks.
Go back even further and take into account rotoscoping - animators drawing over an actors' performance frame-by-frame - it's possible to mark Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as a landmark film in 1937. There, an actress was used as the basis for the titular princess.
Fast forward to 2015, and we're now at a point where many in the industry are calling for an 'Assisted Performance' Oscars category to recognise the work done by actors and VFX artists.

ITV has offered a first-look at its slate of dramas for 2015.
The minute-long trailer offers a first glimpse of Christopher Eccleston's Safe House and Sheridan Smith's Black Work.
It also teases the drama coming up during the second series of Broadchurch, which began on Monday (January 5).
Footage from Code of a Killer, Home Fires, Arthur & George and the third series of Mr Selfridge is also included. Jeremy Piven's period drama will return to screens later this month.
The Trials of Jimmy Rose - which will star Ray Winstone and Tom Cullen - is also featured in the 2015 preview.
The new series follows notorious armed robber Jimmy Rose, who is released from prison only to find that his family have moved on with their lives.
ITV recently ordered a 13-part adaptation of Old English epic poem Beowulf, with production set to begin in County Durham and Northumberland in April. »

Malibu Discovery ToursRead MoreMalibu Discovery Tours' experienced guides shepherd locals and visitors on various tours of the salt-air scenery around Malibu's coasts and wineries. As guests summit mountains at sunrise, the guides point out celebrity mansions, exquisite wildlife, and the laundromats of Hollywood elites. In between views of the ocean and passes through mountain landscapes, tour groups can watch the rolling vineyards of local wine country and look for amorous initial carvings by a teenage John Adams on Old Malibu's historic building façades.1112 Montana Ave.Santa Monica, CA US
San Antonio Winery and RestaurantRead MoreAs the years have led to urban expansion, only one Los Angeles winery has stood the test of time. The San Antonio Winery and Restaurant in Lincoln Heights is so beloved as a local drinking institution, it was given cultural monument status in 1966. Since then, the hidden-away winery, down a few side streets in an industrial part of the downtown area, has been quietly serving up glasses of fine wine from their Italian-style villa. Terracotta roofs and tall greenery line the exterior of this operational winery, which has been bottling since 1917. Free wine tastings and tours are available daily, and the attached Maddalena restaurant serves homey Italian food.737 Lamar StLos Angeles, CA US
Orange Coast WineryRead MoreAt this self-described urban microwinery, vintners crush, age, and bottle their own vintages using local California grapes. Inside its capacious cellars, juices from grapes grown in regions such as Paso Robles, Napa, and Sonoma age in oak barrels. The resulting vintages are available for purchase onsite, online, or through a nearby genie, and also fill glasses Thursday–Sunday in the attached tasting room. There, patrons can meander through rows of barrels, stop to rest their glass on a granite-topped bar, and on nicer days, catch a salt-sprinkled breeze through the open warehouse door.869 W 16th St.Newport Beach, CA US
Thompkin CellarsRead MoreFor a mouthwatering meal you're sure to love, Thompkin Cellars in Costa Mesa is the place to be. Driving to Thompkin Cellars? Check out the nearby parking selections and park with ease. Thompkin Cellars may cost you a little bit more than some spots, but this deliciousness is fairly-priced (and well worth the few extra bucks).1954 Placentia AveCosta Mesa, CA US
My Personal Wine GuyRead MoreOwner and sommelier Jeff Bernstein enjoys getting to know his clients' personalities, but he might confess that he is most interested in their tastebuds. Bernstein keeps running palate profiles of his customers, seeking out the selections that satisfy their wishes for bold flavors, delicate aromas, or grape jelly in a really nice bottle. He specializes in discovering hard-to-find varieties from boutique winemakers, and visits vineyards himself to turn up unique finds and tasting room exclusives. Should clients request additional grapy guidance, Bernstein can arrange wine tasting parties in their homes with samples and appetizers.3551 Royal Woods DriveSherman Oaks, CA US
Malibu WinesRead MoreEighty-one-thousand vines grow across Malibu Family Wines' 90-acre vineyard, producing eight varietals in total, including cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc, and malbec. Once bottled and corked, many of the vineyard's Semler and Saddlerock wines end up at the tasting room in Los Olivos, a homey space with indoor and outdoor seating, occasional live music, and a large wooden tasting bar where customers are free to smell, sample, and swirl away. Those who enjoy the wines can rejoice knowing there's more where that came from?the vineyard expects to increase its vine total to 100,000 in the near future.31800 Mulholland HwyMalibu, CA US

RE: Charles Shawhan
Hi Linda: I really, really appreciate you going "the extra mile"!
Charles Shawhan was born in Bourbon Co. KY into a well-known bourbon distilling family. They settled in Bourbon Co. KY, named because of the bourbon whiskey-producing families who settled there. Charles migrated to MO after 1867, first to Jackson Co., then to Lafayette Co., then back to Jackson Co. His obituary states he was residing in Lone Jack and had done so for 20 years, and the obituary does indeed say he was interred in Lone Jack Cemetery. His mother, Minerva Redmon Shawhan, is interred in Lone Jack Cemetery and there is a photo of her grave marker. His son, John E. Shawhan, is buried at Lee's Summit.
But here is something which I failed to notice earlier: Charlie's wife, Lucy Ann Williams Shawhan, is also stated to be buried at Lone Jack Cemetery (b.c. 1840 KY, d. 12 Jul 1904 at Lone Jack), but she is not listed at all anywhere in Jackson Co. on findagrave. I imagine wherever Charlie and Lucy are, they are together...

Butterfly Flower Seed Favors

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Butterfly Flower Seed Favors are one of those wedding favor ideas that will put a smile across guests faces. Allow them to plant a memory of your special day. Great for spring and summer weddings!
- Seed Packets (small seeds are best and a small amount of them)
- Inexpensive seeds
- Pipe Cleaners (pick a color that matches or goes nicely with your wedding colors)
- A small jewelers screwdriver or something to poke two small holes into the seed packet
- First Hold the seed packet sideways and tap it gently to move the seeds down to the bottom. Be sure they are spread out along the bottom. Fold the seed packet like an accordion. On the back side of the packet in the center CAREFULLY (you don't want to poke yourself) poke two small holes through the accordion fold.
- Fold the pipe cleaner in half even keeping the fold area round. Push each end through the holes you made in the packet. Pull the pipe cleaner through until the round folded edge of the pipe cleaner is near the edge of the seed packet. (see picture above)
- Put the ends of the pipe cleaner through the loop.
- Now you need to turn it over and do a little fixing and fussing to get it to your liking. Lastly curl the end to make them antennas. I did mine with my fingers but if you want them neat and somewhat uniform use a pen or pencil and wrap the pipe cleaner ends around it to make the twists. Dress them up by adding a tag with your Bride and groom names and wedding date or use a gold (something that will look nice and you will be able to see) craft maker/pen to write the information on the front of the seed packet before you fold it (be sure you will be able to see it).

Wonderful seasonings! It could be too spicy for some - know your audience - for us this was perfect. I took the roast out of the refrigerator for about an hour to warm up. I used olive oil in...
I only omitted one ingredient and that was the cayenne pepper. Very flavorful pork loin recipe, though next time I make this, I'd double the spices. The gravy was one of the best we'd ever had.

Among the Missing
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this haunting, bracing new collection, Dan Chaon shares stories of men, women, and children who live far outside the American Dream, while wondering which decision, which path, or which accident brought them to this place. Chaon imagines today's family instinctively trying to stay together, only to find itself lost in the throes of a chaotic, modern world.
In "Safety Man," a young widow and her children become increasingly attached to an inflatable protector-doll, as the world outside seems to grow ever more threatening; "Big Me" follows a lonely, imaginative twelve-year-old boy who believes an older (slightly creepier) version of himself has moved in next door; In "I Demand to Know Where You're Taking Me," a man blinded by love for his imprisoned brother ignores the warnings of his distant wife and a talking parrot who both witness things he's never seen; and "Among the Missing" explores how the death of a family, found buckled in their car at the bottom of a lake, casts a shadow on a small town and intrudes upon the narrator's relationship with his aging mother.
A writer of enormous talent and emotional depth, Dan Chaon mines the psychological landscape of his characters to dazzling effect. Each story radiates with sharp humor, mystery, wonder, and startling compassion. Among the Missing lingers in the mind through its subtle grace and power of language.
"Chaon's contemporary stories intimately reveal modern life and the secrets people keep." Library Journal
"Dan Chaon knows things. As evidenced by his second short-story collection, Among the Missing, he?s one of those writers who possess an uncanny and seemingly otherworldly understanding of the human condition and the world of muted emotions....These 12 stories...further establish Chaon as a remarkable chronicler of a very American kind of sadness, much in the tradition of Richard Yates, Raymond Carver, and Denis Johnson...." San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the best short story writers around....Dan Chaon's stories are funny, heartbreaking, beautifully written, and intelligently conceived." Lorrie Moore, author of Birds of America
"With a story like ['Big Me'] from the marvelous writer Dan Chaon, I am confronted not only with an unfathomable mystery such as that of the endurance of a single human identity over time, but also with new proof of the enduring value of telling tales in the ongoing struggle to understand those mysteries." Michael Chabon, author of Wonder Boys
"The best of Dan Chaon?s mesmerizing collection Among the Missing — stories like 'Safety Man' and 'Big Me' — transform the struggles of his characters? seemingly mundane lives into acts of mystery and faith; even the most ordinary moments veer toward wonder." O Magazine
"This unnerving collection of stories concerns mothers who hit the road, fathers who fly the coop, a husband who keels over, a boy who steps behind a bush and is never seen again. The characters seem not to know what they are doing, but the author does." New York Times, Notable Books 2001
In this haunting, bracing new collection, Chaon shares stories of down-and-out people who live outside the American Dream, while wondering which decision, path, or accident brought them to this place.
About the Author
Dan Chaon is the acclaimed author of Fitting Ends and Other Stories. He was anthologized in Best American Short Stories 1996 and The Pushcart Prize 2000. He has been published in such magazines as Story, Ploughshares, and Triquarterly, and has received many prizes and honors including a grant from the Ohio Arts Council. He lives in Ohio with his wife and children. He is currently at work on his first novel.
