With only three announcements, the annual New York Film Festival has managed to make their 52nd fest probably the biggest one of the year. I've been going the past few years and it's slowly transformed into an awards season destination, but 2014 seems primed to be the year they really start to challenge the Toronto Film Festival for Oscar launch pad supremacy. Their Opening, Centerpiece, and Closing selections are always top notch selections, but this year they really seem to have outdone themselves. NYFF may very well have their best slate ever, and they're still announcing the rest of their lineup at some point in the next few days.
In the Opening spot, they're debuting David Fincher's Gone Girl. Fincher has been there before with The Social Network, so he certainly knows how bit a launching pad this can be. When that movie debuted, it almost ran away with the entire Oscar season, at least until The King's Speech stole the show at the end of the precursor season. This time around, his mystery/thriller starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike will seek get him back into the Best Picture and Best Director lineup. From the early looks of it (as well as this big time slot), the odds of that seem pretty good for Fincher and Gone Girl.
In the normally more low-key Centerpiece spot, they've shocked a lot of folks by landing the premiere of Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. This isn't Anderson's first NYFF rodeo either, as both Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love were shown at previous installments of the festival. PTA has made more difficult to embrace than normal flicks the last few times out, and while There Will Be Blood was nominated a ton by the Academy, they ignored everything but the performances in The Master. This time, my guess is that they split the difference, to some degree. A comedic mystery of sorts, Inherent Vice stars Joaquin Phoenix and will look to establish itself as a critical favorite once this NYFF bow occurs.
Finally, their Closing selection is the North American launch of Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman (or as it's apparently also called: Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). Iñárritu is an NYFF veteran, as this will also be his third time showing a film there. He previously brought Amores Perros as well as 21 Grams to the fest. A dramedy starring Michael Keaton, it's a […]

The New York Film Festival is upping its Oscar game this year
With only three announcements, the annual New York Film Festival has managed to make their 52nd fest probably the biggest one of the year. I've been going the past few years and it's slowly transformed into an awards season destination, but 2014 seems primed to be the year they really start to challenge the Toronto Film Festival for Oscar launch pad supremacy. Their Opening, Centerpiece, and Closing selections are always top notch selections, but this year they really seem to have outdone themselves. NYFF may very well have their best slate ever, and they're still announcing the rest of their lineup at some point in the next few days.
Could a Best Picture nominee launch from Cannes this year?
In the pretty near future, the lineup for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival will be announced. We already know that potential Oscar player Grace of Monaco will be there, but what else could debut at Cannes and then potentially appeal to Academy members? This particular festival isn't nearly as awards season centric as the New York or Toronto Film Festivals are (or the Telluride Film Festival, for that matter), but we always get a contender or two to discuss. Last year we had Blue is the Warmest Color debut, while future nominees like The Great Beauty, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Nebraska unspooled as well. That got me thinking about what this year's slate could have inside of it for prognosticators like myself to chew on…
Below you'll find five titles that I think could have a chance at turning the heads of voters, provided of course that they play at the fest. I've opted to focus on American movies just because those are the ones that the Academy tends to focus in on themselves, though of course there are exceptions from time to time like Amour. Still, big time contenders (and even the occasional Best Picture winner like No Country for Old Men) tend to be english language outings. Anyway, now I'll dive in and speculate about five likely Cannes titles that could have a chance to woo members of the Academy.
1. Birdman – There's a chance that this comedy from Alejandro González Iñárritu could be too offbeat for Oscar voters, but they've gone out on dramatic limbs with him before, so if this tale of a washed up actor doesn't get too weird for them, there are tons of nomination opportunities. This could also be the role that nabs Michael Keaton his first Academy Award nomination too, so there's that. This one could either get shut out or be a huge player, but it's potentially the most likely to transition to awards season attention. We'll see if it actually debuts at Cannes, but I think it's highly likely that it will.
2. Magic in the Moonlight – Another highly likely title for the fest, Woody Allen's next movie is set in France, so that only makes it even more apt for a slot. That being said, of late Allen has basically seen every other film of his become Oscar players, so this could be the off year for him. Still, it's likely […]
Big and Bleak 'Noah' Draws Strong Reviews
The reviews are trickling in on "Noah," director Darron Aronofsky's Biblical epic adventure starring Russell Crowe in the title role, and the critics, so far, are suitably impressed.
"Aronofky Goes Big and Bleak," reads the headline on the Film School Rejects website.
"A lot of Noah is so dark that you wonder how a big studio let a director get away with making it, and it's not just specific moments I'm talking about here," writes reviewer Nathan Adams. "There's a tension that runs through the whole film about who you should be rooting for, or it it's even possible to root for anyone in this situation. Noah goes to such dark places over the course of the movie that it's impossible to keep relating to him as a protagonist (sometimes to the point of comedy, intentional or otherwise) ,and it becomes necessary for the narrative to switch its viewpoint from character to character. There are moments of mass death so casually presented that they almost feel mindless, and then they get followed up by character beats so focused that they almost chastise you for getting caught up in the spectacle and forgetting to remain compassionate."
He goes on to write: "Noah is the sort of movie that takes multiple viewings and a little bit of time to fully digest."
Variety's Scott Foundas writes: "Aronofsky's uneven but undeniably bold, personal, visually extravagant take on the Old Testament tale will surely polarize critics and audiences while riding a high sea of curiosity to strong initial worldwide B.O."
Foundas describes the depiction of the character Noah in the film as "neither the Marvel-sized savior suggested by the poster nor the 'environmentalist wacko' prophesied by some test-screening Cassandras, but rather a humble servant driven to the edge of madness in his effort to do the Lord's bidding."
Steven D. Greydanus, whose review appears in the National Catholic Register, writes: "For a lifelong Bible geek and lover of movie-making and storytelling like me, Noah is a rare gift: a blend of epic spectacle, startling character drama and creative reworking of Scripture and other ancient Jewish and rabbinic writings. It's a movie with much to look at, much to think about and much to feel; a movie to argue about and argue with."
He adds: "It's certainly not the picture-book story that most of us grow up with, all cheerful ark-building, adorable animals and a gravely pious, white-bearded protagonist."

Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" unveils first official trailer – OSCARS
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Steven Spielberg and Joseph Gordon Levitt introduced the first full trailer for the director's highly anticipated "Lincoln" during a unique Google+ event in New York City.
The full clip gives us an excellent view of Daniel Day-Lewis as our nation's 16tht president, who is grappling with his administrators during the closing moments of the Civil War (and, as it turns out, his last few weeks on this Earth).
Sight unseen, it's widely believed that Spielberg's "Lincoln" will be an Oscar player. It certainly has the awards pedigree. Spielberg, an Oscar winner, has been recognized when he study's humanity's history in films such as "Munich," "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List." And his cast is littered with Oscar winners (as the trailer) points out: Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, etc.
The constant fade-in-fade-out of this new trailer gives me a headache. I'd prefer one long shot, instead of 100 snapshots. But from what we can see, "Lincoln" delivers stunning historical production values and an as-expected mesmerizing performance by Day-Lewis. His voice is so modestly pitched – as Lincoln's was rumored to be – that you almost don't recognize him. Is it too soon to call his Best Actor nomination a lock?
"Lincoln" opens in limited release on Nov. 9, before expanding on Nov. 16. Here's the trailer. Share your thoughts below:

Paul Thomas Anderson surprises California audience with "The Master" screening
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The Venice and Toronto film festivals put feathers in their caps by being able to program Paul Thomas Anderson's highly-anticipated "The Master" into their fall events. But knowing PTA – and his adoration for true cinema fans – he had something special up his sleeve, which was revealed Friday night in Santa Monica.
Anderson screened his film, in full, following a retrospective screening of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" at the American Cinematheque in Southern California. Patrons attending the screening were told that there would be a second movie screening after the Kubrick classic, according to HitFix, but they had no idea it would be PTA's drama until it screened.
The AC screening allowed Anderson (who attended with his wife, Maya Rudolph) to screen "The Master" in his preferred format, 70mm. This near-insistence is causing headaches with exhibitors as the film prepares its fall theatrical release. But the film will be opening in limited release on Sept. 14, with a strong push from The Weinstein Company, before it continues to expand.
You have to love PT Anderson for surprising fans at a legitimate cinematic event, taking a little wind out of the sails of the prestigious film festivals but paying tribute to the people he makes movies for … the audience.
It's not going to stop us from covering the daylights out of "The Master" when it screens in Toronto in September. Stay tuned for our reports on Anderson's movie, and its trot through the Oscar marathon.

Gina Carano wants to be the next James Bond, but first she talks "Haywire"
By Sean O'Connell
hollywoodnews.com: Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire" ensemble is a veritable who's who of Oscar winners, Hollywood icons, red-hot contemporary stars of the silver screen and … Gina Carano?
OK, so you might not be familiar with Carano just yet. But once you realize that she stomps into "Haywire" and absolutely steals it away from the likes of Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Channing Tatum, you're going to sit forward and start to pay attention. Ms. Carano commands that level of respect and, in time, we believe she'll earn what's coming to her. Even if she has to physically take down every single person in Hollywood. One. Man. At. A. Time.
Carano couldn't have been nicer during a recent conversation, though, about unique "Haywire" training, the fighting styles of her male co-stars, and her desire to be the next James Bond. Here's Gina Carano:
HollywoodNews.com: I just saw the film this morning.
Gina Carano: Oh, just this morning?
HollywoodNews.com: I did.
It's so funny, because they keep screening it for different people at different times, no one's going to be left to go buy a ticket. [Laughs]
HollywoodNews.com: Believe me, I'm going to tell a lot of people to go buy a ticket. The thing that struck me about "Haywire" is just how possible, how grounded, and how realistic all of the action is. I call it the anti-"Salt." How much did you discuss with your director not going too far and keeping people rooted in reality?
Well, that is all Steven Soderbergh's plan. He is authentic and real. He told me that he wanted this story to come across as something that could happen, and that people could believe in. It's really nice to have a man with a great vision. And there really has been a great response from people who say they find it very realistic.
HollywoodNews.com: I think it was during the rooftop chase in Dublin, which does take a long time, that I finally stopped and thought, "Well, yeah, it would actually take this person this long to get away from that many people."
And do you know what's so funny is that he actually cut that scene down a lot. He just enjoyed watching me run, I guess. [Laughs] But the studio told him, "It's a little long." So that was actually cut back tremendously.
HollywoodNews.com: On the DVD, I want to see the entire sequence.
We're actually going to […]
Good Films you missed – 13 Assassins, The Skin I Live In, Tree of Life, Warrior
By Scott Mendelson
HollywoodNews.com:This is the third of several year-end wrap essays detailing the year in film. This time, it's about highlighting the good or great films that slipped under the radar somehow. Some got rave reviews and wide releases but stiffed at the box office while some never made it out of limited release. All are worth tracking down and all are, with one exception I will point out, now available on DVD/Blu Ray/download/etc. And nearly all of them are not hardcore independent films, but seemingly mainstream dramas and comedies that would have likely merited a wide release even a few years ago. Once again, these will be in alphabetical order.
13 Assassins
Like pretty much all Magnolia titles in the last few years, the majority of the film's initial profits came from their OnDemand services, with Takashi Miike's truly epic samurai drama receiving on a token theatrical release in a few major cities. No matter where you see this one, it's a surprisingly compelling shades-of-grey morality play. At its core, it's about the morality of committing murder, political assassination no-less, in the name of dispatching a regional ruler who may be too evil to eventually wear the crown. For the first two thirds it is a character study and a classic samurai drama. But the entire last third of the picture unleashes one of the longest and most impressive non-stop action sequences I've ever seen. If for no other reason than it's last 40 minutes, 13 Assassins is a must-see action picture.
Attack the Block
If you read any blogs that travel in the 'geek circles', this may be the most talked-about movie that nobody saw this year. The film premiered early in the year to rave reviews from the Faracis and McWeenys of the world, but it's token limited release from Sony Screen Gems on July 29th, a weekend with six new releases. Needless to say, it died and never really expanded. Is the film as gloriously awesome as you may have read elsewhere? Not quite. It doesn't break much new ground, but it does what it intends to do very well. The young kids are all quite good and the aliens they encounter are all the scarier for their sparse use. This is just a rock-solid genre entry that is just different enough to […]

MOSS LANDING, CA Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute recently solved the half-century-old mystery of a fish with tubular eyes and a transparent head. Ever since the "barreleye" fish Macropinna microstoma was first described in 1939, marine biologists have known that it's tubular eyes are very good at collecting light. However, the eyes were believed to be fixed in place and seemed to provide only a "tunnel-vision" view of whatever was directly above the fish's head. A new paper by Bruce Robison and Kim Reisenbichler shows that these unusual eyes can rotate within a transparent shield that covers the fish's head. This allows the barreleye to peer up at potential prey or focus forward to see what it is eating.
Deep-sea fish have adapted to their pitch-black environment in a variety of amazing ways. Several species of deep-water fishes in the family Opisthoproctidae are called "barreleyes" because their eyes are tubular in shape. Barreleyes typically live near the depth where sunlight from the surface fades to complete blackness. They use their ultra-sensitive tubular eyes to search for the faint silhouettes of prey overhead.
Although such tubular eyes are very good at collecting light, they have a very narrow field of view. Furthermore, until now, most marine biologists believed that barreleye's eyes were fixed in their heads, which would allow them to only look upward. This would make it impossible for the fishes to see what was directly in front of them, and very difficult for them to capture prey with their small, pointed mouths.
Robison and Reisenbichler used video from MBARI's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to study barreleyes in the deep waters just offshore of Central California. At depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet) below the surface, the ROV cameras typically showed these fish hanging motionless in the water, their eyes glowing a vivid green in the ROV's bright lights.

Phoenix wants to improve recycling rate
PHOENIX -- The City of Phoenix said Monday it wants to be more successful at separating recyclables from solid waste.
"We were in the 16th to 17th percentile diversion rate by weight last year," said Terry Gellenbeck, Solid Waste Administrative Analyst for the City of Phoenix. "Now, we're at about 18th to 19th. The mayor has asked us to get up to 40 [percent] by the year 2020."
To help the city achieve that goal, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton has plans to launch the "40 by 20 Initiative" in the upcoming months. The educational initiative will focus on the benefits of recycling to the environment and the economic impact of recycling.

Skylight Opera Theatre Presents Mozart's 'Cosi fan tutte' 3/18
Skylight Opera Theatre of Milwaukee, Wisconsin will open Mozart's Cosi fan tutte March 18, 2011. Performances continue through April 3, 2011 and will be held on the Cabot Theatre stage, inside the Broadway Theatre Center located at 158 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Skylight and Director Dimitri Toscas put a fresh and contemporary spin on Mozart's masterful comic opera by bringing the 18th century original to 1959 Chicago, just before the start of the sexual revolution.
The story begins with two sisters, their fiancés and a bet - can the women be faithful while their lovers are away? The men disguise themselves and woo each other's lovers, managing through various tricks to win over the initially reluctant women. However, as deeper feelings surface, the suitors become uneasy with their antics. Cosi fan tutte translates to "Women are like that," but in the contemporary world of this new production, the women will have the last laugh.

North Korea May Reach Out To U.S. On Three American Captives
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 9/3/2014
The White House says it's doing what it can to secure the release of three Americans held in North Korea. CNN got exclusive interviews with all three. They said they felt this might be their last chance to reach out to the U.S. Government for help. CNN's Will Ripley has the story behind the exclusive access to Americans detained in North Korea. An abrupt detour during a trip to cover pro wrestlers on a "sports diplomacy" mission to North Korea. One minute we're on a sightseeing tour, the next, we're in a van, racing through the North Korean countryside. Government minders abruptly canceled our shoot. They're on the phone, getting instructions. There's been a change of plans. Suspense builds as we approach the capital Pyongyang. These are unfamiliar roads. Rarely seen by outsiders like us. We're told to expect an interview with a "government official." When we pull up to this building, we learn who's really inside. "Mr. Bae, Will Ripley with CNN." Kenneth Bae is serving 15 years of hard labor. Pyongyang is giving us strictly controlled access to Bae and two other detained Americans. North Korea calls it a favor, but we get the impression the government is looking for a line of communication with the U.S. "I'm the only prisoner in the camp," Bae says. Bae is housed separately from what Amnesty International estimates are 200,000 North Korean prisoners. The human rights group says they endure "horrific conditions" at six prison camps. Bae says his health is failing, but his treatment is humane. "Condition in labor camp, I'm working eight hours a day, six days a week," Bae says. As Bae serves his sentence, Jeffrey Fowle waits to learn his. He's living in a hotel room ahead of his trial. Possibly a labor camp, if he's found guilty. "I'm getting desperate," Fowle says. "I'm getting desperate." Fowle's already confessed to leaving a bible in North Korea. His own handwritten notes detail the so-called crime. "It's a covert act and a violation of the tourist purpose as well," Fowle says. That "covert act" of leaving a bible could cost Fowle years of freedom. Experts say religion threatens the North Korean regime. In a nation accused of widespread religious persecution, only the leaders are considered "divine." Each man is held in a different room down the same hallway. They never have contact with each other. In this room, Matthew Miller, awaiting trial for tearing up his tourist Visa and seeking asylum in North Korea. "Why did you come here seeking asylum?" asks Ripley. "During my investigation I discussed by motive and for the interview it is not necessary," Miller says. Now, all he wants is help from the U.S. Government. His trial and immediate sentencing is expected later this month. "This interview is my final chance," Miller says. A chance to return to his old life. Away from the absolute isolation of being held in North Korea. During our trip, government minders are always watching. Not unexpected here. What caught us by surprise, how North Korea appears to be reaching out to the United States, using these three men to send a message.

Ceiling tiles and a moisture detection system in which an array of electrodes placed preferably on the top unseen surface of the ceiling tiles typically used in commercial-type buildings. A detection or controller circuit then monitors the electrical characteristics of these electrodes for any changes that would be indicative of water formation on the ceiling tiles. Generally, current will flow between the electrodes only in the presence of water or some other conducting fluid. When this current is detected, an alarm, for example, can be generated to notify security monitoring personnel to investigate the possible existence of water intrusion. Alternatively, coded signals can be generated at the ceiling tiles individually in the presence of water.
1. A ceiling moisture detection system, comprising:
detection electrodes located on ceiling tiles; and
a controller which generates an alarm condition signal in response to moisture contacting the electrodes and wherein the controller comprises a continuity verification circuit for determining whether the detection electrodes are properly connected to each other.
2. A system as described in claim 1, wherein the detection electrodes comprise a pair of interleaved electrodes held at different electrical potentials.
3. A system as described in claim 2, wherein the controller generates the alarm condition signal in response to sensing current flow between the pair of electrodes.
4. A system as described in claim 1, further comprising a coded transmitter which transmits a signal to the controller in response to the alarm condition signal.
5. A system as described in claim 1, wherein the electrodes are located on a top surface of the ceiling tiles.
6. A system as described in claim 5, wherein the detection electrodes are painted on a top surface of the ceiling tiles.
7. A ceiling moisture detection system, comprising:
first electrodes located on ceiling tiles;
second electrodes located on the ceiling tiles;
first connectors which electrically connects the first electrodes of different ceiling tiles together and second connectors which electrically connects the second electrodes of different ceiling tiles together; and
a controller which generates a signal in response to electrical current flow between the first and second electrodes and wherein the controller comprises a verification detector which detects breaks in the first or second electrodes or connectors between electrodes of different ceiling tiles.
8. A system as described in claim 7, wherein the verification detector establishes electrical current flow through the first and second electrodes to confirm continuity.
9. A system as described in claim 7, wherein the first electrodes of different ceiling tiles are connected in series with each other.
10. A system as described in claim 7, wherein the first and second electrodes of a ceiling tile form an interleaved comb pattern.
11. A method for detecting moisture intrusion in a building, comprising:
detecting electrical current flow between electrodes located on ceiling tiles;
generating an alarm when the current flow is indicative of moisture on the ceiling tiles; and
detecting current flow through the electrodes to determine whether the electrodes are properly connected to each other.
12. A method as described in claim 11, further comprising transmitting a signal from the ceiling tiles to a controller in response to the electrodes contacting moisture.
The government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. N00030-93-C-0040 awarded by the Department of the Navy.
As electronic and mechanical devices become more sophisticated, operating environment constraints become tighter and tighter. The current generation system may not tolerate the temperature or humidity levels in which systems of the previous generation worked. Yet, major sources of moisture such as water intrusion into the laboratories and offices remain. Delicate electrical or electrical mechanical parts can be shorted-out or otherwise damaged by the formation of water on their conducting surfaces.
We have found that the principle location of water intrusion is from the ceiling. The flat roofs of today's commercial buildings allow water to stand so that if a defect in the tar or membrane surface of the roof exists, the water will enter the building. Moreover, pipes, conduits, and ducts are typically located in the region between the inner ceiling, commonly constructed from ceiling tile, and the structural ceiling or roof, which separates floors or the building from the outside. In particular, dehumidifiers, defective pipe joints, air conditioning troughs, and cold water pipes represent the major water sources, and as explained earlier, even a few centiliters of unfortunately placed water can lead to substantial monetary damage to sensitive components.
The present invention is conceived as an early detection system for water intrusion from the ceiling. It works in cooperation with, or is integral with, the ceiling tiles that are ubiquitous in commercial-type buildings. An array of electrodes are placed typically on the top, unseen, surface of the ceiling tiles. A detection circuit then monitors the electrical characteristics of these electrodes for any changes that would be indicative of water formation on the ceiling tiles. When water is detected, an alarm, for example, can be generated so that security monitoring personnel can investigate the situation.
In specific embodiments, the electrodes are configured as a pair of interleaved electrodes held at different electrical potentials. A controller generates an alarm condition in response to sensing current flow between the pair of electrodes. Alternatively, a coded transmitter can be placed on or incorporated in each tile, which transmits a signal to a receiver in response to the occurrence of resistance across the electrodes. In either case, the electrodes are preferably applied to the tiles in the form of a conductive paint preferably applied by a silk screening or roller process.
In other embodiments, a continuity verification circuit is useful to ensure that the detection electrodes are properly connected to each other. Specifically, the circuit can detect if the electrodes themselves are broken or a jumper or inter-tile connector has become disattached by generating electrical current flow through the series connected electrodes.
According to another aspect, the invention can also be characterized as a method for detecting moisture intrusion in a building. This method features detecting electrical current flow between electrodes located on ceiling tiles. An alarm is then generated when the current flow is indicative of moisture on the ceiling tiles.
According to still another aspect, the invention concerns a ceiling tile or method of forming the same. The tile includes at least a pair of electrodes formed on a surface thereof. The electrodes can be formed from a conductive paint.
In specific embodiments, the electrodes are formed on a top surface and cover a substantial portion of the ceiling tile. The coverage is achieved by interleaving the electrodes with each other. Further, the tile may also incorporate a water activated battery material and a transmitter, which generates an alarm signal when battery material is exposed to moisture in sufficient amounts to cause current to flow through the electrodes.
The above and other features of the invention including various novel details of construction and combinations of parts, and other advantages, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims. It will be understood that the particular method and device embodying the invention is shown by way of illustration and not as a limitation of the invention. The principles and features of this invention may be employed in various and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings, reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale; emphasis has instead been placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. Of the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the moisture detection system of the present invention in its typical operating environment with common sources of water intrusion illustrated;
FIG. 2 shows the interleaved comb electrode pattern applied to the top surface of a ceiling tile according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram showing the interconnection of a 4�3 array of ceiling tiles according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing the moisture detection and continuity verification circuits of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing a moisture detection system 100, which has been constructed according to the principles of the present invention, in its intended operating environment.
The system 100 comprises interleaved comb electrodes 110 that are located on the top surfaces of ceiling tiles 10. Jumpers 112 connect the comb electrodes 110 of adjacent tiles to form a continuous electrical circuit. A controller 114 is connected to the ceiling tile circuit to detect any short circuits between the interleaved comb electrodes 110 of any one of the tiles 10. Conduction paths between the electrodes are indicative of water or fluid formation on the tile's top surfaces.
The system 100 is typically located on the ceiling tiles of a hung ceiling. The tiles are supported by a metal or plastic frame 12. Any water intrusion through the structural roof 14 or from the ducts 16, pipes 18 or other sources will first fall onto the tiles 10, triggering the system 100. As a result, even small leaks that are not large enough to cause staining on the underside of the tiles 10 can be detected before damage occurs to the water sensitive systems 20 within the room 8.
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary electrode layout on the top side of a ceiling tile 10. The tile preferably has first and second electrodes 110A, 110B that are held at different electrical potentials. The first electrode 110A comprises a backbone conducting strip 210A that extends longitudinally along a lateral side of the ceiling tile 10. A plurality of conducting tines 212A extend from this backbone 210A perpendicularly across the ceiling tile 10. The second electrode 110B is similarly configured, comprising a backbone conducting strip 210B extending longitudinally down the other side of the ceiling tile 10. The second electrode 110B also has tine conducting strips 212B extending longitudinally across the tile 10. The tine conducting strips 212A,212B from each of the first and second electrodes 110A,110B are interleaved with each other with a separation of less than one inch so that small amounts of water will act as a short circuit between the first and second electrodes 110A,110B to thereby initiate electrical current flow that is detected by the controller 114.
The electrodes 110A,110B can be manufactured in a number of different ways. Experiments have been performed in which the electrodes were constructed from copper tape or with printed circuit technology. These products, however, are expensive, and the application process is time consuming.
The electrodes can also be made with a conductive paint and be applied with a silk screening process. A primer sealer is first applied to the top surface of the tile 10. The sealing process is necessary to provide a functional surface for the subsequent conductive coating. Military Part No. TT-P-645 was found to be acceptable. Other single component acrylic or alkaloid based primer/sealers, however, are available that are less expensive. Preferably, an approximately 1.5-2.0 mil dry film is applied to the tile. The primer is air dried for 18-24 hours before top coating. This can be accelerated with curing of 45 to 90 minutes at 175� F. to 200� F.
An acrylic-based treated-copper top coat is then selectively applied to the top surface of the ceiling tiles in the electrode pattern. SPRAYLAT's 599-Y2000 was found to be a reliable conductive coating system. This product is a copper-filled single-component air drying acrylic coating. The copper is treated to drastically retard filler oxidation. The resistivity ranges from 0.02-0.05 ohms per cm2 depending upon thickness. It is important to note that whatever type of conductive paint is used that the conductive components should protrude through its surface so that the water will form a conductive circuit with the paint. It is anticipated that in production situations, the first and second electrodes will be applied by a roller process.
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram illustrating the strategy for interconnecting the tiles 10 to each other and the controller 114. All of the first electrodes 110A of the ceiling tiles 10 are connected in series. A first end terminal 310 of the series is connected to a power supply 314 and a moisture detection circuit 316. The second end terminal 318 of the first electrodes 110A is connected to a continuity verification circuit 320. Jumper cables 112 interconnect the electrodes of adjacent tiles 10.
Each of the second electrodes 110B is connected in series to each other. The first end terminal 312 of the series second electrodes is connected to a ground or reference potential and the second end terminal 322 is received at the continuity verification circuit 320.
The moisture detection circuit detects current flow between the first electrodes 110A and the second electrodes 110B. When a threshold current flow is exceeded, a relay 324 is triggered which generates a signal to an alarm.
The continuity verification circuit 320 operates independently of the moisture detection circuit 316 to ensure that a break does not exist in either the series connected first electrodes or the second electrodes. Otherwise, a lack of current flow between the electrodes could merely be indicative of a break in an electrode or a defective or miswired jumper cable.
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the controller's moisture detection and continuity verification circuits 316,320. The first terminal 310 of the first electrodes 110A is connected to a 5 Volt power supply through a 120kΩ resistor R1. The terminal 310 is also connected to a non-inverting input terminal of comparitor C1. The comparitor C1 receives an approximately 3 Volt reference voltage at an inverting input terminal from the junction between a 10kΩ resistor R2 and a 15kΩ resistor R3 functioning as a voltage divider.
If moisture forms on the ceiling tiles 10, the first and second electrodes 110A,110B will be short-circuited with an estimated resistance of less than 250kΩ by the water or other fluid. The current will flow through resistor R1 lowering the voltage at the non-inverting input terminal below 3 Volts. This drop in voltage will cause the output of comparitor C1 to change from high to low, which will pull current through the red light emitting diode D1 and close relay R1 triggering a local alarm 410. A signal may also be sent to a house alarm system.
The moisture detection circuit 316 also has a test switch SW1. Closure of this switch pulls current through a 82KΩ resistor R4 to test the generation of the alarm condition by comparitor C1. Additionally, the moisture detection circuit 316 sends a disable signal 412 to the continuity detection circuit 320.
The continuity detection circuit 320 has a high line test switch SW2, for testing the series connection of the first electrodes, and a low line test switch SW3, for testing the series connection of the second electrodes.
Closure of either one of these switches tests the continuity of the electrodes between the moisture detection circuit 316 and the continuity detection circuit 320.
In more detail, the circuit through the normally closed high line test switch SW2 provides an approximately 5 Volt signal at the noninverting input terminal of comparitor C2 as long as a continuity exists to the first terminal 310 of the first electrodes, which receives 5 Volts from the power supply via R1. Comparitor C2 receives a 2 Volt reference at its inverting terminal which is produced by a voltage divider of 15K resistor R5 and 10K resistor R6. As a result, comparitor C2 will produce a high output if continuity exists in the series connected first electrodes or a low output if continuity does not exist.
In a similar vein, when low line test switch SW3 is in its normally closed, current should flow through a 2MΩ resistor R8, through the second electrodes to the grounded first terminal 312. Comparitor C3 compares the voltage of the series connected second electrodes to the 2 Volt reference voltage received at its noninverting input. If continuity exists in the second electrodes, the inverting input terminal should be approximately at ground causing the comparitor C3 to output a high voltage signal.
The circuit continuity detection circuit 320 includes a series of logic gates that light diodes D2 and D3 based upon the output of comparitors C2 and C3 when not disabled by the moisture detection circuit 316. Specifically, when both of comparitors C2 and C3 produce a high signal, indicating continuity, NAND gate G1 produces a low output. This low output in combination with a high signal on line 412 from the moisture detection circuit 316 causes each of NAND gates G2 and G3 to produce a high signal which causes only the green diode D2 to be driven through inverter G4. In contrast, if either one of the outputs of comparitors C2 or C3 is low, indicating a continuity problem, the output of gate G1 will be high causing a low output at gate G3 which drives the yellow lights. Finally, if the moisture detection circuit 316 detects moisture, a low signal is received on line 412 which disables the lighting of diodes D2 and D3.
FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention. This embodiment avoids the necessity of wiring the tiles together by placing a coded transmitter 510 on each tile 10. A LED signal light 512 may also, or alternatively, be added on the bottom of the tile 10 for visual identification. The top of the ceiling tile is coated with an electrode grid and water activate battery material 514. Such materials will generate a potential in the presence of water 516. The coded transmitter 510 and LED light 512 are connected across this grid 514 to generate coded radio frequency and visible signals respectively when a voltage is received from the grid 514. A remotely located receiver 518 decodes the radio signals from the ceiling tiles. Thus, when one of the ceiling tiles becomes wet, the alarm is generated and the tile 10 located by decoding its transmission.
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

William and Martha Boyd
Thank you for posting tombstone photographs for this couple. As you commented with the photograph, the stone is somewhat difficult to read. It also appears that there is an inscription on the side of the shaft. Do you have any idea of what that might say. The front has William;s dates and Franklin's dates and I am wondering if Martha's dates might be on the side. I am wondering if the 1883 birth date shown for Martha might really be her death date. William married for the second time in 1884. Would appreciate any information you might have.

One in five shoppers seek out gourmet foods when grocery shopping (1). Though you may not see yourself as a gourmet store per se, it's likely that shoppers see your products as upscale and expect you to offer high-end foods and beverages.
The road to good health starts during childhood when good habits for optimal wellness are formed. But, any parent can tell you that embedding these behaviors in a child isn't always easy.
Lots of things are hard to do on an empty stomach, and thinking is foremost among them. For one thing, you can't keep your mind off finding something to eat. Worse still is that without the proper dietary nutrients in sufficient quantities, the brain will have trouble doing much at all, period. For this reason, consumers are looking to power up their brains while they chow down.
The organic industry is perhaps one of the most dynamic markets in the food industry today, as it grew 8% in 2010 to $28.6 billion in sales even during a down economy (1). To keep shoppers in the know, it's important for retailers to have hard facts about why spending extra for organic is worth it.

Be they energetic or docile, pocket-sized or king-bed-sized, pets of all shapes and sizes are warming the hearts of Americans. Millions of households consider their furry friends to be lifelong companions, and they're treated as such. States Butch Smith, natural national sales manager for WellPet, Tewksbury, MA, "There's no doubt that pet parents have developed a more intimate relationship with their pets than ever before…As people are adopting healthy, natural diets for their families, they also want to provide the same for their pets."
Of the two words making up the term "functional food," the operative one in a commercial sense is most definitely the latter. Consumers will not buy a product, even one with great health claims, that does not meet their basic criteria for a satisfactory food experience: convenience, familiarity and taste.
For years, WholeFoods Magazine has shined a light on natural products companies that market some of the country's best top-selling products and has honored them with a Natural Choice Award. This year is no different. Once again, we are proud to honor some of the many excellent products that the natural products industry calls its own.
Snack foods can be a blessing or a curse. Done well, a nutrient-dense pick-me-up is an important tool in helping to maintain a proper weight, healthy blood sugar levels, proper focus and good energy. But if you regularly pick the wrong snacks, well, expect the opposite to happen: weight gain, see-saw blood sugar and trouble concentrating.
Vegetarianism and veganism are increasingly common lifestyle choices, while raw foods constitutes a health craze that is gaining in popularity. But practitioners of the three diets discussed in this article are all likely looking, at least in part, to further their wellbeing.

Kawasaki is recalling certain Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-6R models due to a possibly faulty regulator/rectifier. The potential number of units affected is about 20,544.

Due to a manufacturing error, the regulator/rectifier may insufficiently charge the battery. If the battery discharges, the motorcycle may stall without warning.

Gwyneth Paltrow was mysterious hospitalized last week and many people started jumping to conclusions assuming she was pregnant because she was reportedly seen entering the maternity ward of New York's Mount Sinai Hospital.
Her pal, chef Mario Batali says that Paltrow was hospitalized because of "a little gastrointestinal situation."
"It's now been straightened out," he told Us Weekly. "She's [doing] great."
There you have it folks! Gwyneth hasn't jumped on the 2007-2008 baby bandwagon...yet!

38 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 26-36 within 10 miles
Sweet! We have so much in common! Like you,...
Sweet! We have so much in common! Like you, I've decided to try online dating because I have not met the right person. Like you, I'm not perfect, but I usually do my best to be the best person I can be. Like you, I like to get out and do stuff! Like you, I would like somebody to share my life with, and for some of us that comes easier than others :) Like you, sometimes a little encouragement helps with the motivation. Like you I have an artistic soul and constantly search for ways to express myself. Like you sometimes I might do the wrong thing, but also like you I try to make it right. So about me.... Family - I come from a pretty small family. I have a great relationship with my parents here in colorado, as well as my brother in Texas. I have a son named Logan, who i keep pretty buffered from my dating life. (meaning you wont meet him right away, I dont want people constantly coming in and out of his life) He is a real good kid, very well behaved. I am a full and active father to him and I have him 50% of the time. Passions- I am an artist, a photographer, and a film maker. I do lots of timelapse photography, some landscape, but mostly studio work these days filming plants. My last film went viral and reached 250k views in under a week :) (look up Carnivora Gardinum) It is the ultimate hobby for me, i get to play with cameras, build motion control systems, write all the code, build sets, work with post processing techniques. It really pushes my skills to the limit and i love doing it :) And while I may be a photographer, I know when live the moment myself and not through a lens. ;) Work - I work in telecommunications, it pays me well and is a pretty secure and steady job. I have been with my current company for 14 years now. I also have a small side business building motion control systems for time lapse photography. Basically..... robots... Politics & Religion I do not believe there is a god. It is quite OK if you do. Just don't try to convert me, I have come across my lack of belief honestly and i have no interest in de-converting other people. I believe in freedom of religion as well as freedom -from- religion. For politics I am pretty center but i lean to the left. The ultra conservatives scare me a lot more than the ultra liberals. But i have not found a political party that shares all my own same viewpoints and i do not identify as a republican or democrat. Fun I love being outdoors!. In the summertime i try to hike as much as possible(3-10 mile day hikes followed with an ice cold beer somewhere), but sometimes relaxing on the couch is just what the doctor ordered. I like to go see movies, go to the museum, the zoo, etc. I also like getting out with friends and having some drinks, having people over for BBQ's and such. I have only skied once when I was a kid, i did not care for it much ; Sports - Sorry. Nope. I just don't care about sports in general. I am more concerned about my own life and winning my own achievements to live vicariously through sports. That said, i DO enjoy hitting the occasional Rockies game, and it does not take a lot of effort to get me to go see a broncos game. The energy of the stadium, the action of the event, all awesome. But i have little to zero desire to watch it on TV 95% of the time. I just have other things i could be doing. What am i looking for? Good question. I suppose i will know when i find it. I am turning 38 soon, I've been through quite a few relationships. I know i want somebody to experience life with and to grow with. I want somebody show ill treat me with respect and expects the same in turn, somebody who knows how to communicate, and is willing to point out when i am being an idiot. Somebody who likes to get outdoors and hit some trails, and also enjoys a lazy sunday afternoon doing nothing in particular. Maybe it is you? Send me a message. lets find out!

The local government of Greve in Chianti has introduced a tourist tax based on overnight stays and the type of accommodation. The tax is applicable starting 1 April 2012 and applies March through October every year. Probably this tax will not (yet) be incorporated into the prices most places are displaying. Apparently they have to give a separate receipt for this tax. Some examples:
- Rooms in the sense of rooms rented in houses or B&Bs - 1 euro per person per night for the first 4 nights in any given accommodation.
- Apartments and agriturismi - 1.5 euros per person per night for the first 7 nights in any given accommodation.
- Hotels: the rate varies by number of starts from 50 cents to 4 euros per person per night for the first 4 nights.
Children under 14 years old don't pay.
Knowing the comune of Greve as well as I do, I think it likely that details of this tax will change from time to time.Edited: 10:47 am, April 01, 2012

In the second episode, Anakin kicks Janet out of the family and Janet tells how I keep my kickboxing mouth guard in my pocket at all times.
Take a listen and don't forget to pick up Shinobi: Ninja Princess!!
Spinning out of the Shinobi: Ninja Princess web comic comes the story of Trixi and her pursuit to live in the music. FOLLOW HER RHYTHM!

But, more importantly, is he happy with his current employment? After you read this, go out and grab Shinobi: Ninja Princess issue 2 to see how this fits in.
