DENVER (AP) — As a kid, Nathan MacKinnon admired the game of his idol, Sidney Crosby. He even had posters on his wall of the Pittsburgh Penguins star.
Top pick MacKinnon eager to lead Avs turnaround
MacKinnon grew up with constant comparisons to his boyhood hero, especially since they were from the same hometown and had a similar scoring panache.
Now, MacKinnon gets a chance to carve out his own identity after the teenager was the first pick of the draft by the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
Much like Crosby eight years ago, MacKinnon will be counted on to turn around a franchise, one that finished last in the Western Conference in 2012-13 and missed the playoffs for a third straight season.
No pressure, MacKinnon insisted.
"I don't think anybody expects me to tear up the league and get 100 points as an 18-year-old," MacKinnon said at his introductory news conference on Monday. "I just want to help out and have a strong role and contribute as much as I can."
To ease MacKinnon's transition into the NHL, new Colorado coach Patrick Roy has already decided he's going to pair the rookie on the third line with Jamie McGinn and Steve Downie. That way, MacKinnon can be mentored by the veteran players.
"I want him to have fun," Roy said. "There's going to be enough pressure on him anyway. I know he's going to deal well with it. At the same time, it's important for him to feel comfortable.
"We need to give him time to adapt and just feel comfortable."
Since being picked, MacKinnon has received congratulatory texts from teammates Matt Duchene and captain Gabriel Landeskog. He's also heard from Crosby, the player he grew up respecting so highly.
"That was so cool," he said.
MacKinnon was the first player drafted No. 1 overall out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League since Crosby in 2005. Fittingly, he's only the third 17-year-old taken No. 1 overall in the draft since 1988, joining Joe Thornton (1997) and Crosby.
There was a time when MacKinnon constantly heard about how he was going to be the next Crosby. The last few years, though, the comparisons have slowed down.
Either that or he's simply tuned them out.
"I realize that I wasn't going to be Sid and I am going to be a different player than him," said MacKinnon, who turns 18 on Sept. 1. "I wanted to create my own path. We're from the same area — if I wasn't from there those comparisons wouldn't be made."
The 6-foot, 182-pound MacKinnon actually sees himself being more similar in style to Jonathan Toews, the Chicago Blackhawks captain who just led his team to the Stanley Cup crown.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/5/13
In the aftermath of his complimenting the chemistry of the crosstown rival Los Angeles Clippers following a 107-102 loss to the Clippers Friday night, Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard criticized his own team's lack of chemistry following Saturday's practice. "(Chemistry is) something we have to do to get better," Howard told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "We have to play like we like each other. Even if we don't want to be friends off the court, whatever that may be, when we step in between the lines or we step in the locker room or the gym, we have to respect each other and what we bring to the table. "It really starts off the court. I think you have to have that relationship and that chemistry off the court for it to really blossom on the court. It takes time to develop that. You just don't come together and then expect to be best friends right away. It just doesn't happen like that." After Friday night's loss, Howard lauded the Clippers' chemistry, saying, "Those guys on the C...

It's becoming fairly safe to assume that the rest of the NHL really doesn't like the Pittsburgh Penguins, huh? New York Rangers coach John Tortorella became the latest person to criticize the Penguins for their style of play, attitude and whining ways. The always outspoken Tortorella criticized the Pittsburgh organization after his team's 5-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday night. In particular, he criticized Brooks Orpik for this dirty, knee-to-knee hit on New York's Derek Stepan. Tortorella was clearly upset about the hit after the game, a hit in which he labeled both "cheap" and "dirty." The Rangers bench...

In Your Community » Thurston » Construction Projects »
Summer 2015 project updates
We are planning to begin design and permitting for the Blumaer-Yelm transmission line rebuild in 2015.
Construction is expected to begin in 2016 and should be completed in 2017.
PSE is working to upgrade the electric system in Yelm and Thurston County in order to increase our customers' electric reliability and meet growing demand for power in the area. Currently, the region is only served by two north-south transmission lines, which are prone to tree-related outages and limit the power flow in Thurston County.
From 2010 through 2018, we will be completing four projects, collectively called the Yelm area reliability projects.
These projects entail adding three new transmission lines, rebuilding an existing transmission line, and upgrading two substations, allowing us to move power throughout the county more efficiently and provide additional sources of power in the event of scheduled or unscheduled outages.
Download full-sized map
Yelm project map
The Yelm transmission line and substation project entailed constructing four miles of new 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Yelm substation to a point along the Blumaer-Yelm 115 kV transmission line. The new transmission line is located primarily in and along public road rights of way. In addition to the new transmission line, we upgraded the Yelm substation and provided space to add a second electric transformer, which will allow PSE to double the capacity in the future without changing the substation footprint.
Blumaer-Yelm project map
The existing 17-mile transmission line between the Blumaer substation and the Yelm substation is approaching its capacity, straining the local electric system and making it difficult to reliably meet the energy needs of our customers in Yelm, Rainier, and Tenino. The line was originally installed in the 1960s and the poles and wire are aging and need to be replaced.
Work is anticipated to be completed by 2017.
Longmire project map
The Longmire transmission line project entails constructing three to four miles of 115 kV transmission line from the Longmire substation to a point along the Blumaer-Yelm 115 kV line along 123rd Ave SE. We plan to replace the distribution poles along the route with taller poles to accommodate both the existing distribution lines and the new transmission line. As part of this project, we will also need to upgrade the Longmire substation in order to accommodate the new line.
Currently, the Longmire substation is served radially, which means it is served only by one transmission line. If the line serving the substation goes out, the substation and the customers served by it lose power. This new transmission line will increase service reliability for customers by creating a "loop", meaning that each substation will be fed by two transmission lines. If one line goes out, the other line will still feed the substation to keep power on for our customers in the area. Construction of the new line is expected to begin in 2020.
St. Clair-Yelm project map
Transmission lines are key elements in the electrical distribution system. These lines safely transport high voltage electricity from power generation sources like dams and wind generating facilities to substations in local communities. Transmission normally takes place at voltages of 55 kV and higher.
Substations are critical links in the electricity distribution system, containing utility circuit protection, voltage regulation, and equipment that steps down higher voltage to lower voltage. Before reaching homes and businesses, power is routed through our transmission system to a substation where it is changed to a lower voltage that can be utilized by customers.
We welcome your questions and comments! Please contact:Shane RichardsProject email@example.com

Lot's of people were hurt, but imagine if improvised weapons (beer bottles, bricks) had been used – even worse… :-( And like most fights, any of them could have just "counted to 10″ and walked away – always the best approach :-)

"Pekar has proven that comics can address the ambiguities of daily living, that like the finest fiction, they can hold a mirror up to life."–The New York TimesFor years Heather Roberson, a passionate peace activist, has argued that war can always be avoided. But she has repeatedly faced counterarguments that fighting is an inescapable consequence of world conflicts. Indeed, Heather finds proving her point to be a little tricky without examples to bolster her case. So she does something a little crazy: She sets out for far-off Macedonia, a landlocked country north of Greece and west of Bulgaria, to explore a region that has edged–repeatedly–close to the brink of violence, only to refrain. In the process–and as vividly portrayed by the talented duo of Harvey Pekar and Ed Piskor–Heather is tangled in red tape, ripped off by cabdrivers and hotel clerks, hit on by creepy guys, secretly photographed, and mistaken for a spy. She also creates unlikely friendships, learns that getting lost means seeing something new, and makes some startling discoveries. War is hell and peace is difficult–but conflict is always necessary. "Harvey Pekar wrestles the kind of things most comic book heroes wouldn't touch with a laser blaster."–Cleveland Plain Dealer"A visit with Harvey Pekar . . . will cause you to reexamine your own life . . . just as the greatest literature will."–The Austin Chronicle"Pekar lets all of life flood into his panels: the humdrum and the heroic, the gritty and the grand."–The New York Times Book Review

(TSX:GNV) ("GENIVAR" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of WSP Group PLC ("WSP"), a multi-disciplinary professional services consultancy based in London, U.K., pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 (the "Transaction"). WSP specializes in Building, Transport & Infrastructure, Management & Industrial and Energy & Environment and provides a full range of services from planning to design, delivery and asset management."I am delighted about this transformational moment in the history of our respective firms," said Pierre Shoiry, President and Chief Executive Officer of the new combined entity. "This combination of two remarkable, like-minded organizations will make us stronger and increase our ability to deliver superior value to our clients, shareholders and employees by expanding and diversifying our portfolio of expertise, and allow us to pursue our growth strategy. Together, we are a world-class leader with an exciting future, focused on offering the latest thinking and best client service both globally and locally, whatever the challenge."As previously announced, on July 31, 2012, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the "Court") sanctioned the Scheme and confirmed the related capital reduction of WSP to effect the Transaction. The Scheme and capital reduction became effective today upon delivery of the order issued by the Court and the statement of capital approved by the Court to the U.K. Registrar of Companies. The shares of WSP will be delisted from the London Stock Exchange at 8:00 a.m. (London Time) on August 2, 2012.The purchase price payable in connection with the Transaction was approximately $442 million, which was paid in cash. The purchase price was financed using the net proceeds from the Corporation's previously announced $225 million public bought deal offering of subscription receipts completed through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by CIBC, BMO Capital Markets, National Bank Financial and Barclays; a $197 million concurrent private placement of subscription receipts with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the "Caisse"); as well as from a new credit facility.Each subscription receipt will be exchanged for one common share in the capital of the Corporation (each, a "Common Share") for no additional consideration and without further action by the holders of subscription receipts. Holders of subscription receipts are also entitled to receive a cash amount for each subscription receipt equivalent to the dividend paid by the Corporation on each Common Share on July 16, 2012, or Common Shares, in lieu of such cash amount, in the event they have elected to participate in the dividend reinvestment plan of GENIVAR (the "Plan").CPPIB and the Caisse will beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of 7,491,787 and 7,483,953 Common Shares, respectively, representing approximately 14.76% and 14.75%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result of the closing of the Transaction and taking the Plan into consideration, there will be 50,751,899 Common Shares issued and outstanding.With the closing of the Transaction, trading in the subscription receipts of GENIVAR will be halted and remain halted until the close of business today, at which time the subscription receipts will be delisted. Trading of the underlying Common Shares will begin at the opening of the market today.Effective as of August 7, 2012, Christopher Cole, the Chief Executive of WSP, will become Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of GENIVAR, while the current Chairman of the Board, Richard Bélanger, will become the Lead Director.Commenting on the Transaction, Mr. Cole said "I am honored to be chairing this new Corporation, born from two complementary organizations with aligned strategic ambitions, a shared entrepreneurial spirit and a resolute focus on clients. As we continue our existing mutually successful activities and embark upon this new journey, I will bring to the Corporation my experience of building a global consultancy and we will spare no effort to deliver long-term value to our shareholders."In line with GENIVAR's internal policy not to have more than two executive officers of the Corporation sitting on the Board of Directors, Marc Rivard will resign from his position as director effective as of August 7, 2012.Until operational and financial integration is completed, both firms will continue to operate under their respective brand.Forward-looking informationCertain information regarding GENIVAR contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements.

A laser scanner with a 2D resonant electrostatic micro-mirror has improved aiming visibility, reduced tilt dependence and improved read range. The laser scanner has a field of view that defines a 3D volume and utilizes a laser beam in a light path that is thin relative to the 3D volume. Physical pixel height is enlarged to aid optical imaging plane alignment. A selective filter centered on the lighting wavelength is placed in the image path. The height of the pixel may be artificially induced to be m*w, where m is the lens magnification and w is the light thickness. Diagonal progressive scanning is used to maximize the frequency values so shock resistance of the mirror is increased.

U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/605,657 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/635,263 are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to scanners and bar code readers. More particularly it relates to a laser scanner having 2-D resonant electrostatic micro-mirror that enables projection or acquisition of a discrete image. The present invention also relates to a method of improving aiming visibility, reducing tilt dependence and improving read range of solid state 1D/2D stacked bar code readers.
2. Description of the Related Art
Two primary types of prior art scanners and bar code readers include solid state readers and laser scanners. Solid state bar code readers include CCD (charge coupled device) and CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) readers. CCD readers use a row or array of photocells. A line or rectangular areas of a bar code is illuminated by a light source, typically LEDs built into the scanner. A 1D bar code is typically a pattern of light and dark lines of varying width. A 1D bar code does not vary vertically. Information is stored along only 1-dimension, the width, of a 1D bar code. A 1D bar code can be read with a reader having a line of LEDs illuminating a line across the width of the bar code.
There are many types of 2D bar codes. A 2D bar code may use stack bar code symbology, a multi-row code or a matrix symbology. A 2D bar code stores information along the width and height of the bar code. The pattern varies both horizontally and vertically. To read a 2D bar code, the scanner needs to have an array of LEDs illuminating the rectangular area of the 2D bar code.
The photosensors 20 in the CCD scanners reads the bar code illuminated by the light source. CMOS readers also capture light on a grid of small photosensors 20. Prior art solid state bar code scanners rely on a lighting path 22 encompassing the image plane and the 3D volume of view 26.
Because the lighting path must encompass the 3D volume of view, prior art solid state bar code scanners can only "read" what is illuminated. Thus, one disadvantage is that these readers cannot be used with bar codes that are wider or larger than the lighting path.
A CCD scanner does not have to be in direct contact with the surface of the bar code; however, its depth of focus is limited. Thus, another disadvantage is that these prior art scanners cannot be used for far field scanning. CCD scanners suffer from low brightness when used at a far field. Further, there is low photometric coupling efficiency. In other words a portion of the light is not captured by the photosensors 20.
Yet another disadvantage with prior art readers, is that they are tilt dependent when reading high-resolution 1D bar codes and thin row 2D stacked bar codes. In other words, the scanner works significantly better when the light is substantially perpendicular to the bar code. The scanning ability is diminished as the light hits the bar codes from a greater or lesser angle such as occurs when the scanner is tilted.
Laser scanners use a moving light source to illuminate the bar code and a photocell receives the light reflected from the bar code. Oscillating mirror(s) sweep the beam across the bar code. The beam can be swept horizontally to read 1D bar codes or the beam can sweep horizontally and vertically in a raster pattern to read 2D bar codes. Because the light emitted from a laser diverges very little as it travels, laser scanners can be used at far field.
In raster scanning, two mirrors scanning in orthogonal directions or one mirror scanning in two dimensions, and a modulated light source generates a 2-D image on a screen.
In other laser scanners, an optical imaging of a line of pixels or matrix of pixels is swept over the scene by a scanning mirror to image the scene as a whole. Pixels can be diffractive or reflective elements.
In digital light processing (DLP) displays, reflective LCD displays, a matrix of micro-mirrors is imaged as a whole onto the projection display to get a 2 dimensional image. The 2-D array of mirrors are less sensitive to the mirror surface curvature and scan with more uniformity than scanners using a 1-D array or raster-scanned displays. Moreover, the electronic throughput is lower and spatial resolution is better.
In grating light valve displays, a line of pixel is made of a 1-dimensional array of light modulators whose the image is swept over a screen by a scanning mirror to get a 2-dimensional image.
A disadvantage of 1-D or 2-D pixel array displays is that they require successful fabrication of many elements while raster-scanned display requires only one element.
Raster-scanned displays can be made smaller and at less cost than 2-D and 1-D scanned displays, making them more appealing for portable display applications.
Prior art, full electrostatic driven single mirror arrangements with electrodes underneath the mirror provide some degree of linearization. However, these scanners suffer from cross-talk, high voltage driving, and are difficult to package at the wafer level.
Prior art, 2-D gimbals suspended mirror with electrodes in the chip plane have simplified packaging with low pressure cavity at the wafer level, high frequency operation at low power driving, and allow independent excitation of both axis and the doesn't suffer from cross talk. However, these are difficult to manufacture and are fragile. The mirrors have low driving torques. As a result, both axes must be actuated in resonance so the oscillations are nonlinear. High Q factor and manufacturing tolerances make it virtually impossible to drive synchronously both axes at predefined frequencies. Moreover, low oscillation frequency value leads to fragile device because of long suspension hinges.
Existing miniaturized optical scanning for projection displays are expensive and power hungry. The current emerging display technologies target large format displays and do not meet the weight and power requirements of mobile applications. There is a need for durable, lightweight, low-power, inexpensive video displays that can be readily manufactured.
In some embodiments, a solid state scanner is easily aimed using a bright line of light.
In some embodiments, a solid state scanner is configured to enable imaging and lighting plane alignment at a far field.
In some embodiments, a solid state scanner is configured to reduce tilt dependence around the Z-axis.
In some embodiments, the lighting path of a 1D/2D stacked bar code solid state reader is very thin and is embedded in the 3D volume of view. Physical pixel height is large to aid imaging plane alignment. A selective filter centered on the lighting wavelength is placed in the image path. The filter can be on the photosensor 10, in the lens, or between the photosensor 10 and the lens.
The height of the pixels is artificially reduced to m*w, where m is the lens magnification and w is the light thickness. Thus, spatial resolution is no longer a function of the actual pixel size and aperture height but depends only on the thickness of the image of the light path. Furthermore, the tolerance of the tilt angle is improved.
In some embodiments, a scanner provides a light beam that is thin. As a result, the light beam is brighter and the aiming function of the scanner is improved. All the light is included in a 3D volume of view and all rays backscattered by the barcode that enters an optic aperture impinge on pixels. This optimizes the coupling efficiency between the lighting and light converter.
In some embodiments, a laser scanner utilizes 2D resonant electrostatic micro-mirror to enable projection or acquisition of a discrete image. Diagonal progressive scanning is used to maximize the frequency values so shock resistance can be increased. Effective eigenfrequencies are tuned by a constant dc voltage added to the driving clocks. Compared to prior art interleaved scanning, the inventive progressive scanning is free of line crawl, interline twitter, field aliasing.
A linear CCD (charge coupled device) or CMOS (complimentary mental oxide semiconductor) scanner or bar code reader is used to read 1D/2D stacked bar codes. Light path 12 is thin relative to 3D volume of the field-of-view 14 and is within the 3D volume of the field-of-view 14. The physical pixel height of the photosensor 10 is enlarged without increasing the number of pixels to help optical and imaging plane alignment. A selective filter (not shown) centered on the wavelength of the light is placed in the image path. The filter can be placed on the photosensor 10, in a lens (not shown) of the scanner or between the photosensor 10 and the lens. The respective heights of the pixels illuminated may be artificially induced to m*w, where m is the lens magnification and w is the thickness of the light in light path 12.
Spatial resolution is no longer a function of the actual pixel aperture height. Instead, spatial resolution depends only on the thickness of the image of the light path 12. As a result, tilt angle tolerance of the scanner is improved. Furthermore, all the light is included in the 3D volume of field-of-view 14 and all rays backscattered by the bar code enter an optical aperture of the scanner and impinge on the pixels in the photosensor 10. This optimizes the coupling efficiency between light rays scattered by the bar code and light detected by the photosensor 10.
A light beam (not shown) from the scanner is in the light path 12, which is thin relative to the 3D volume of the field-of-view 14 of the scanner. The light beam is thin, and consequently the light beam is bright and so the aiming function of the scanner is improved. Because the light beam is bright, line of sight aiming is easy. This allows imaging and lighting plane alignment at a far filed. Further, tilt dependence is reduced around the Z-axis.
Turning now to
The resonant micro structure 101 is formed from a wafer 103 and has a gimbal structure. The resonant micro-structure 101 includes electrodes 104 in the plane of the resting position 106 of the wafer, a movable frame 108, a static frame 110, and a mirror 100. The static outer frame 110 is anchored 140 to the scanner. The mirror 100 is in the moveable frame 108, which is rotably connected to the outer static frame 110 at anchor 140. Mirror 100 is connected in a gimbal structure by torsional springs 102 to the movable frame 108. A laser beam is projected toward the mirror 100 and deflected in two directions, x and y, as the mirror 100 oscillate.
Two driving clocks 120, 122 are used to control the oscillations of mirror 100 of the microstructure 101. Two digital counters dividing a common clock are used to deliver accurate driving clocks 120, 122. The two digital counters are driven by a master clock 130.
Driving clocks 120, 122 that drive mirror 100 have frequency values in exact proportion of a rational number (i.e., a fraction of two integers) close to unity. In one case, k=16 1/n where n is a natural number. This is results in Lissajou pattern where lines are sequentially traced in a progressive manner. Alternatively, the two driving clocks have a frequency values in exact proportion of a rational number less than unity.
Two digital counters dividing a common clock deliver accurate driving clocks. The X and Y effective eigenfrequencies 124, 126 are matched to driving clocks 120, 122 by adding a DC voltage 128 to driving clocks 120, 122 which changes the effective stiffness of torsional springs 102. This tuning is close-looped to the detection of a minimum amplitude oscillation. The scan field is adjusted by varying the voltage amplitude of the driving clock with a response time longer that the eigenfrequencies tuning.
An advantage of having a k value close to or less than 1 is that one gets progressive scanning along the diagonals of the image, while avoiding disadvantages of interleaved scanning. Another advantage of low k factor value is that the oscillation frequencies can be maximized. Further, even with a low inertia limited mirror surface the microactuator is robust.
The driving oscillation command is preferably generated with two digital counters driven by a master clock 130 whose the value is a common multiple of the x- and y-oscillations. Preferably, the frequency value of the master clock 130 is the least common multiple of the x- and y-oscillations.
For example, with k=A/N=1+�n, the beam will trace a first stack of n lines along first diagonal 132 of the image, then a second stack of n lines along second diagonal 134. Master clock 130 is the least common multiple of (f1, (1+�n)f2). Master clock 130 is also used as a sampling clock.
The grid pitch is distributed with an x- and y-sine coefficient. Pin cushion distribution 136 of the beam is predictable because of the pure resonant oscillation lead by electrodes 104 in the plane 106 of the wafer. Image linearization in image memory, both before projection for display device and/or after acquisition for image capture, is possible by utilizing interpolation.
An alternative method to obtain a quasi-isometric grid distribution is to truncate the field of scan so as to limit the pitch variation. However, this method results in a reduced effective field of scan. In the alternative method, one must also correct too the opto-mechanical distortion if the incident laser beam is not normal to the mirror.

- Preheat the oven to 140C/gas 1/fan 120C and line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper. In a small bowl, blend the cornflour, vanilla extract and vinegar to a smooth paste.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff in a separate clean bowl. Gradually whisk in the sugar a little at a time to make a thick and glossy meringue, then whisk in the cornflour paste until well combined.Spoon the mixture on to the paper, then spread, without flattening it, to form a 23cm/9in round. Swirl the edges with the back of the spoon to give lovely soft folds and peaks. Scatter half the pistachios over the meringue and bake for 1 hour, by which time it will feel crisp if you tap it. Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova to cool with the oven door open.
- Set aside 450g/1lb of the apricots and roughly chop the rest, discarding the stones. Purée the chopped apricots, then push them through a sieve with a metal spoon. Stir in the liqueur and sweeten with 3 tbsp of the icing sugar, or enough to sweeten as you like it.
- Lightly whip the cream so it's soft and billowy, then spoon over the pavlova. Cut the reserved 450g/1lb apricots in half, discard the stones, then cut into wedges. Scatter them over the whipped cream along with the remaining pistachios. Dust with the rest of the icing sugar and serve with the apricot purée.

Video: Trapper Schoepp & The Shades debut new song
Milwaukee Americana act Trapper Schoepp & The Shades has had the busiest fall of its life, including the re-release of "Run, Engine, Run" on SideOneDummy Records and tours with The Wallflowers and Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band. (Check out my review of the Milwaukee Wallflowers stop.)
But when I interviewed Schoepp for our 10 Wisconsin Bands to Watch feature earlier this year, he told me he wouldn't let these new obligations distract him from his primary focus - writing songs. »Read Full Blog Post
Matchbox Twenty keeps the customer satisfied
Rob Thomas made a promise early in Matchbox Twenty's Milwaukee set Saturday, to give the audience "the best tonight you could possibly have."
But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(6)

The episodes rarely left the store, and to parody the stereotype of the rigid British class system, characters rarely addressed each other by their given names, even after work. In 2004, it came 20th in Britain's Best Sitcom.
Despite this abundance of gags, the main humorous base of the series was a merciless attack on the British class system. This permeated every interaction in the show and was especially evident in the conversations between maintenance men Mr. Mash or Mr. Harman and the ostensibly higher-class store personnel.
Characters included such stereotypes as the effeminate Mr. Humphries, who lived with his mother; Captain Peacock, the haughty floorwalker who purportedly fought Rommel in the North Africa Campaign of World War II (but was actually in the Service Corps), and the snobbish and boisterous Mrs. Slocombe of the ever-changing hair colour.
The show spawned the catch phrase "Are you free?", usually said by Captain Peacock to the staff; more often than not, the staff are noticeably free, and each would look solemnly from side to side before saying, "Yes I'm free, Captain Peacock." As John Inman remarked, when Mr. Humphries trilled, "I'm free!" it became his own personal catchphrase.
During its run, the series attracted some mild criticism for its reliance on sexual stereotypes and sexual double entendres, including jokes about Mrs. Slocombe's "pussy" (cat). John Inman's camp portrayal of Mr. Humphries as an effeminate man whose sexual orientation was never expressed was supposedly offensive to some gay men, but the character quickly developed a cult gay following. Inman pointed out that Mr. Humphries' true sexual orientation was never explicitly stated in the series, and David Croft said in an interview that the character was not homosexual, but "just a mother's boy". With a broad mixture of stereotypical gay characteristics and some apparent heterosexual attractions, viewers were left wondering about Mr. Humphries' true sexual orientation. In an episode of the spin-off Grace & Favour, the character is further described as neither a "woman's man" nor a "man's man" and as being "in limbo".
Are You Being Served? was first broadcast on 8 September 1972 on the BBC, in the form of a pilot for the series Comedy Playhouse. It only aired when it did because of free airspace created by the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics. The pilot was reshown at the beginning of the first series on 14 March 1973. That first series was aired in the same timeslot as Coronation Street on ITV, and consequently received relatively little attention. However, repeats shown later in the year were much more successful. Although the pilot was produced in colour, only a black-and-white version of this episode remains.
The show went on to receive huge audiences, with later episodes attracting up to 22 million viewers. After 10 series, 69 episodes and a 13-year run, Are You Being Served? came to an end on 1 April 1985.
In addition, the cast performed in character for a stage sketch on the BBC1 programme Variety on 19 June 1976.
A remix of the theme was released in 1998 by a dance act calling itself "Grace Brothers", and featured samples of John Inman and Frank Thornton.
There is a homage to the theme song in the Ladytron song "Paco!" from the album "604", and New Zealand band Minuit's "I hate guns". A version of the theme song is featured on the album The Ape Of Naples by the experimental music group Coil. The theme song has also been covered by Australian band Regurgitator on their 1999 album ...art. Pop singer Jamelia's song "Window Shopping" (from her 2006 album Walk with Me) begins with a sample of the familiar cash register sound effect as well as Mrs. Slocombe's voice inquiring, "Are you free?". The Pink Floyd song "Money" also uses a similar cash register effect.
All ten series, as well as both series of Grace & Favour (in packaging titled Are You Being Served? Again!), are available on DVD in Region 1 (North America).
Currently, the first Eight series and the film have been released in Australia with Series 9 due to be released in October 2008 (Region 4). A DVD titled Are You Being Served? - Best of The Early Years and Are You Being Served? Christmas Specials have also been released.

An Olivia man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the death of his girlfriend's 18- month-old daughter. 21-year-old Sergio Turrubiates Jr received his sentence for the 2nd-degree murder charge on Friday in Renville County Court. Turrubiates claimed the toddler struck her head on a table when he was bouncing the child on a bed. Tiana Moore died of traumatic head injuries two days after he had been caring for her, and Turrubiates later admitted to shaking the child and knocking a tv onto her, and then doing nothing to treat her injuries. He will be given credit for the 465 days he has already spent in jail since his arrest, and the 20-year sentence will be served concurrently with a 4-year sentence for a burglary in Redwood County.

Black Faces on the Silver Screen
A Festival Aims to Stimulate Outsiders' Art and Commerce
By LENA WILLIAMS
Published: June 25, 1997
Every few years something ignites the issue of blacks in Hollywood. Back in 1915, it was D. W. Griffith's ''Birth of a Nation.'' The N.A.A.C.P. tried to have it banned because of its stereotyping of blacks and sympathetic treatment of the Ku Klux Klan. Last year, it was a cover story in a national magazine, ''Hollywood Blackout.'' Warrington Hudlin, the black filmmaker, and his friend Byron Lewis, chairman of Uniworld, a Manhattan-based black advertising agency, were among those troubled by the article, which concluded that exclusion of blacks had become a ''way of life in Hollywood.'' It noted that only one of the 166 nominees for that year's Academy Awards was an African-American. ''It's time for us to do something,'' Mr. Lewis told Mr. Hudlin.
That conversation inspired the Acapulco Black Film Festival, a showcase for black artists and independent films reflecting elements of the black experience that have been traditionally overlooked by mainstream festivals and awards ceremonies, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hudlin said. The six-day festival opened yesterday in the Mexican resort.
''Byron recognized that this was not a time for us to simply protest and complain,'' said Mr. Hudlin, who in 1978 founded the Black Filmmakers Foundation, co-sponsor of the festival with Uniworld Entertainment, a division of the advertising agency. ''We see what the problems are. We now have to consider what we can do to fix them.''
Despite the recent success of young black film makers like Spike Lee and John Singleton and the rise of bankable actors like Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith, there are virtually no blacks in the top echelons of movie studios. Roles and opportunities for black actors remain scant, as shown in studies by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the United States Commission on Civil Rights and film industry groups. Of 5,040 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, published reports say, fewer than 200, or 3.9 percent, are black. The Directors Guild of America has 365 black members, out of 10,952, 3.3 percent of the total.
''Over the past 10 years, there has been very little growth,'' said Zara Buggs-Taylor, executive administrator for employment diversity at the Writers Guild of America, which represents writers in television, radio and film. ''Of our 8,400 members, only 233 are African-Americans. There is high employment in the entertainment industry, more than ever before. But for writers of color, employment has increased from maybe 3 percent to 5 percent.''
Mrs. Buggs-Taylor said the Writers Guild was sending a representative to the Acapulco festival primarily to establish a relationship with independent filmmakers, whose ranks were growing.
Mr. Hudlin, who with his brother, Reginald, produced and directed ''House Party,'' ''Boomerang,'' and ''Cosmic Slop,'' said the festival would provide a forum for a type of black expression ''that is being ignored or rejected by Hollywood.''
''There are certainly more black films being made now than in the last 10 years,'' noted Mr. Hudlin. ''But the types of black films sanctioned by Hollywood have been in a very narrowly defined genre. Hollywood tends to see blacks as poor people drowning in their problems rather than very successful human beings.''
Among the films being shown in Acapulco this week are ''Hav Plenty,'' a romantic comedy about middle-class blacks by a new filmmaker, Christopher Scott Cherot; ''Follow Me Home,'' a Peter Bratt film that explores elements of African, American Indian and Latino culture and stars Alfre Woodard; ''Destination Unknown,'' which looks at the urban experience through the eyes of Nestor Miranda, a filmmaker from the Bronx, and ''Bleeding Heart,'' a film that marks the directorial debut of Gregory Hines, the dancer, actor and Tony-award winning choreographer. The film, about race relations in the United States, was made two years ago but failed to find a distributor.
The fickle nature of the movie industry has often undermined attempts to improve the plight of minority-group artists, if for no other reason than that, by most measurable standards, their problems are less severe than those faced by blacks in other professions.
''To use a cliche,' these are the best of times and the worst of times,'' said Robert Townsend, the actor and producer who is attending the festival as a panelist and host of an awards ceremony. ''There is a lot of good stuff going on. But the flip side of that is a lack of balance.''
''For example,'' he continued, ''there are 14 black-oriented situation comedies on television right now,'' but little drama. ''The number of black executives in Hollywood is growing, but we don't have people who can green-light a film.''
Deals Sealed Over Brunch
Blacks contend they are in, but not of, Hollywood, especially when it comes to the industry's power structure and social circles. Not only are deals sealed over brunch in Malibu, but, as many black industry members assert, business is also discussed at invitation-only charity events and private screening rooms in Bel Air.

- Stop mixing until you create a paste like texture.
- Place this on any red areas on the face, chest or neck.
- Wait 10 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water and then lather with lotion.
Note: Not only does this mask reduces redness but it reduces swollen zits, over washing with an exfoliator, or having plain stress!)
To Stop or Prevent Breakouts, use Honkin Mask. It's a mixture of honey and pumpkin mixed together,but read the detailed instructions first.
- 1 teaspoon for honey, canned pumpkin puree, cider vinegar and flour.
- Mix all the ingredients together including 1 egg.
- Place it all over the face once the mixture is smooth and leave it on your face for 20 minutes.
- Do not place it near the eye area.
- Rinse off with warm to cold water and lightly pat dry.
Note: This mask also unclogs pores, exfoliates dead skin and moistens the skin.
To Brighten Skin, use Banaya! It's a mixture of a banana and papaya mixed together, but read the detailed instructions first.
- Take 2 tablespoons of banana, 3 tablespoons of papaya, 1 tablespoonof coconut water and plain yogurt.
- Mix until it's thick
- Place it all over the face and wait for 5 minutes and then rinse with cool water.

Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ
- How does add-on pricing work?
Just like your Atlassian host application, there are two pricing models for add-ons. Pick the model that matches your Atlassian product, and the same rules apply:
Server pricing:
- Products and add-ons are hosted on your servers.
- Licenses last forever and include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
- You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the original purchase price.
- You can upgrade the tier of your host product and add-on licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
Cloud pricing:
- Products and add-ons are hosted by Atlassian.
- You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.
- Your subscription automatically renews every month. Annual pricing is also available.
- Your pricing tier for host products and add-ons is automatically upgraded (as necessary) when you add users to your instance.
- How do I determine my pricing tier?
Choose the same user tier you pay for in the Atlassian host application. For example, if you have a JIRA Server license for 25 users, you should purchase this tier.
Even if fewer users want to use the add-on than your host application license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
Add-on purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host application.
Add-ons are always free for community and open-source licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
You can extend your Server add-on trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Free Trial and you'll be directed to generate a license at MyAtlassian. Paste this license key into the add-on listing in UPM from your Atlassian host application, and you're all set.
You cannot extend your Cloud free evaluation period. All Cloud add-ons are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation of period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the add-on.
- How can I buy add-ons for my legacy JIRA or Confluence license?
If you own a legacy JIRA Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy add-on pricing is no longer available. You have two options for add-on purchasing:
- Purchase the add-on at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your JIRA or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the add-on at the same tier.
BigBrassBand is Atlassian Verified. Verified add-on vendors demonstrate high quality, reliability, and business traction. Learn more
