I was really surprised the nurse asked my husband if her vaccines was up to date and he said no. The nurse says oh she allergic to them. My husband said I don't know and we not going to find out. That surprised me he said that.
Well so the doctor came in got the hair off and told me she very healthy so have no problem with it healing he said she most be up to date with her vaccines lol. I then saw dirty look on the nurses face and she took the doctor and pointed at the paper that she put no vaccines. I then thought here it goes. And to my surprised he said ok that's fine. He said well I need to make aware only because I have to say this. I laughed and said notthing you say to me is going to change my mind and he said yea I know. And said she won't get tatanus from this I said yea I know never crossed my mind and then we was discharged. That really surprised me really thought as er doctor he would of gave me a ear full but he didn't I was so relieved.

Filling out the FAFSA is a good first step in any student's quest for institutional financial aid. The government form calculates your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and helps to determine whether you'll qualify for many types of need-based funding, including aid from your college or university.
But students and families who aren't deemed financially needy may still seek help covering college costs, and options may remain to snag money from your school.
On average, about 14 percent of students receive non-need-based merit aid. At Louisiana College, the school that awarded merit aid to the highest amount of its non-needy population, 88 percent of non-needy students received some amount of the funding in 2009-10.
The list below makes up the 10 schools that awarded any amount of merit aid to the highest percent of their students without financial need for the 2009-10 school year, based on data reported by the schools to U.S. News:
Louisiana College 88%
Cooper Union (NY) 68%
Free Will Baptist Bible College (TN) 61%
University of Central Oklahoma 54%
Hawaii Pacific University 52%
Cumberland University (TN) 50%
New College of Florida 49%
Denison University (OH) 47%
Mayville State University (ND) 46%
DePauw University (IN) 45%

The invention relates to a device for visually indicating light intensity. The invention particularly relates to devices for sensing when a flash is needed to expose photographic film.
Expensive electronic flash cameras have a light meter or other exposure measuring device contained within the camera which senses the amount of ambient light present for the scene being photographed and automatically fires the flash assembly if the sensed lighting conditions will not produce an effective exposure.
In a number of more inexpensive cameras, such as one time use or single use cameras manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Company and Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., the flash assembly is manually operated, typically by an actuable switch located on the exterior of the camera body which charges the flash assembly for firing when the shutter release button is depressed. Prior to capturing an image, the average user must make a decision, gauged on the amount of ambient lighting perceived visually by the user, whether or not to charge the flash assembly. Improper decisions regarding the use of the flash may subsequently produce inconsistent results, resulting in consumer dissatisfaction.
In some other instances, such as when there is indoor lighting, the user should be guided or reminded to activate the flash prior to image capture given that a high percentage of pictures taken under these conditions require flash.
The Japanese Kokai 4-213031 published Aug. 4, 1992, describes a photosensitive unit and a reference unit arranged on a one time use camera. The photosensitive unit comprises a photochromic material which changes hue when incident UV radiation strikes the material. A color of the photosensitive unit is compared to the color of the reference unit to measure illuminance and to thereby determine whether the camera should be operated.
Japanese Kokai 4-213029 published Aug. 4, 1992, describes a UV-sensitivity unit which is used with a reference unit. The reference unit is a ring which the user wears and upon its efficient illumination, the UV sensitive unit changes color for comparison to the reference unit.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,804,992 describes an indicating member for a camera viewfinder which can include a photochromic material which provides a visual indicator that an improper exposure would result depending on a particular scene brightness.
Japanese Kokai 5-142700 published Jun. 11, 1993, describes the use of a photochromic material on a single use camera which can alternately be used as a light brightness detector or a lens filter depending on the location of the material.
Japanese patent application 63-196673, JP 01-038283, JP 63-296871, and JP 01-011185 disclose disappearing inks or paints. Spirooxazines are disclosed as photochromic materials.
There remains a need for a system that would change color so effectively that no difficult reference measurement was necessary. Further, there remains a need for a photographic sunlight sensor that does not require a difficult hue comparison by the casual user of a camera.
An object of the invention is to provide improved picture taking with single use cameras.
Another object of the invention is to provide a way for the user to have appropriate flash use on a single use camera.
These and other objects of the invention are generally accomplished by providing a light sensitive device comprising photochromic chemicals dispersed in hydrophilic colloid.
In a preferred embodiment the light sensing device comprises spironaphthoxazine dispersed in a layer of gelatin.
The invention has numerous advantages over prior sunlight sensors. The sensors of the invention shift at the desired amount of light for exposing photographic film in a single use camera. Further, the invention light sensors provide a clear change from one color to another completely different color in a very short time. The change of the indicator device is so rapid that the user of a camera is not inconvenienced waiting to find out whether or not a flash is required to take a photograph. Further, the devices of the invention are easily formed and flexible. Another advantage of the instant invention sunlight sensors is that they do not show fatigue and are able to accurately indicate exposure to light after multiple uses. These and other advantages will be clear from the description below.
FIG. 1 is a view of an element in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line 2--2 of FIG. 1 of an element of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a top view of an element in accordance with the invention having an ultraviolet light-absorbing layer
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view on line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a camera using an element of the invention.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a flash camera using an element of the invention.
The invention provides an element that will change color rapidly and dramatically when exposed to an amount of sunlight that will result in satisfactory photographic exposure. The elements of the invention generally are resistant to abuse and stable over the range of conditions that a camera, particularly a one time use camera, is subjected to.
FIG. 1 is a top view of a circular indicator element in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a view of element 10 along the cross section of line 2--2. The element comprises an upper hardened transparent layer 12 and layer 14 which is the photoactive layer that will change color upon exposure to sunlight. Base paper layer 16 has been provided with waterproofing coats of polymer 18 and 22. The element as shown in FIG. 2 also is provided with an adhesive layer 24 which is shown as covered with a removable paper 26. Such paper would be removed and the element of the invention fastened to a suitable substrate such as a disposable camera by adhesive layer 24. The preferred material for layers 12 and 14 is a hydrophilic colloid, such as gelatin, as it allows rapid reaction of the photochromic compounds of the invention which are dispersed in gelatin layer 14. Layer 12 generally is a hydrophilic colloid with cross-linking agents to form a hard surface. Layer 12 is not required for the invention, but it is advisable to have a hardened protective layer to improve the wear properties of the invention element.
The element of the invention 30 shown in FIG. 3 has been divided with indicias 32 and 34 which provide a visual message that may be read when the element is exposed to sunlight. The element as shown in FIG. 3 has been exposed to the sun causing 32 and 34 to become dark. A cross-sectional view of element 30 on line 4--4 is shown in FIG. 4. As shown therein, the element comprises an ultraviolet light absorbing layer 36, a hardened gelatin layer or other hydrophilic colloid 12. Ultraviolet absorbing 36 layer overlays the photochromic layer 14 and is between the photochromic layer 14 and the upper side exposed to the light and away from the base 16. Layer 14 containing the photochrome material such as spironaththoxazine of the invention has changed color in areas 38, 42, and 44 where the indicia 32 and 34 have been exposed to the ultraviolet rays of sunlight through the breaks in layer 36. The base paper is the same as element 10. Element 30 is not provided with an integral adhesive coating and in use would be applied by a separate adhesive.
FIG. 5 illustrates a single use camera 50. The camera 50 is provided with a shutter release button 52, film advance wheel 54, and a film frame counter 56. Lens 60 is on the front of the camera, as is the viewfinder 58. Placed on the top 61 of the camera are three indicators for when exposure is proper 62, 64, and 68. 68 is the element of the invention shown in the form of FIG. 4 wherein the operator of a camera can read "OK" when there is sufficient light for a picture. The indicator 62 would be provided with printing not shown to indicate that when "OK" was shown, the picture could be taken. Indicator 64 is for comparison for the low light situations when the indicator of the invention was completely white. The user of the camera would compare the invention indicator of the invention 68, and if the indicia 66 was visible, then know that there is sufficient light to take a picture. If the indicia 66 was not visible, being transparent, then the user of the camera would know there was not enough light to take a picture.
In FIG. 6 there is illustrated a camera 70. The illustrated camera 70 is a flash camera that is also a single use camera. This camera contains features such as in the camera 50 with the additional requirements of a flash camera. The ready light 72 indicates that the flash 74 is ready to function. The flash charging lever 76 is held until the flash ready light 72 is lit. The indication device 68 of the invention is utilized in the same way with the "OK" 62 having instructions that if the "OK" appears in 68, a flash is not needed. Beside comparison reference 64 will be an instruction that if the indicator 66 is white, then the flash should be used.
The base paper onto which the photochromic compounds of the invention are placed may be any suitable material that will provide a stable support and bind with the hydrophilic colloid layer bearing the photochromic compound. Preferred are materials such as utilized as the base for photographic color papers. These materials are a paper that has been coated with a polyethylene layer on each side. They further generally are provided with a reflective material in either the polyethylene layer 18 or as a separate layer between the gelatin containing layer 14 and the polyethylene coating 18. Typical of the materials used as reflective is titanium dioxide, although other white reflective materials also may be utilized. The use of a reflective base enhances the contrast between the blue of the spironaphthoxazine dyes when they are exposed to ultraviolet light and the white base visible when it is transparent in the dark or low light.
The invention photochromic elements find their preferred use on single use cameras. However, the devices also could be placed on lower priced reusable cameras that were not provided with light sensors that control the exposure. Further, the elements of the invention also would find use in placement on signs at well-known, photographic-taking locations such as overlooks above canyons or in the mountains. Further, there are marked picture taking opportunities in other areas such as amusement parks. In these areas the photochromic elements of the invention could be placed upon signs with instructions indicating that if the spot was white, there was not sufficient light for ordinary photography, and if the indicator device was colored, ordinary photography could be carried out.
Other embodiments of the invention include the offering of the photochromic device of the invention as a retrofitting device for application to cameras that are already in existence. There are a multiplicity of cameras that do not have sensing capability. A device of the invention could be applied as a sticker to these cameras to provide them with the ability to determine when sufficient light was present for picture taking. In another embodiment, photochromic devices of the invention could be printed as indicia rather than utilizing blocking means to form the indicia of the above-described embodiments.
The preferred photochromic compounds of the invention provide rapid changing of color at an amount of illumination suitable for taking pictures with single use cameras. Suitable compounds for the invention include the fulgides, spirooxazines, and spiropyrans. Preferred are the spironaphthoxazines due to excellent fatigue characteristics. The most preferred compounds 5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro- 2H-indole-2,3'-(3H)naphth(2,1-b)-(1,4)oxazine! and 1,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro- 2H-indole-2,3'-(3H)naphth(2,1-b)(1,4)oxazine! provide an indication of color change at approximately 45-foot lamberts incident light in the preferred formulations. This is suitable exposure for the typical single use camera which operates at about f/10, using 400 speed film at a shutter of 1/100th of a second. Other photochromic compounds or other formulations could be selected that would undergo a color change at somewhat different light intensity. Alternatively, if it was desired that the preferred compounds be utilized for lower speed film such as 100 speed, filter dyes could be placed above or in dispersion with the spironaphthoxazines of the invention in order to require the higher light intensity for the color change to take place.
The preferred spironaphthoxazines of the invention have been found to, when formulated as a photographic type dispersion, undergo a color change in remarkably rapid rate. It is considered suitable if a change is complete in less than a minute. However, it is preferred that the change be in less than 10 seconds. It is found that the preferred material undergoes substantially complete change in only several seconds when exposed to sunlight. It is noted that the spironaphthoxazines of the invention are sensitive only to ultraviolet radiation and, therefore, do not find practical use for interior indication of suitable tungston light for photography. However, for one time use cameras containing ordinary speed films of 400 ASA, a flash is nearly always required for inside photography and, therefore, the photochromic indicator yields the correct response.
The embodiment of the invention utilizing a layer to block the sunlight from reaching the spironaphthoxazine dye is preferably formed with the use of ultraviolet absorbers, as these materials are transparent. However, it is also possible that filter dyes for sunlight also could be utilized. Such filter dyes are well known from use in photographic negative films. The printing onto the photochromic material of any pattern may be carried out by conventional means such as printing, spray paint, or painting using masks. Ways of printing are well known in the art. The preferred UV absorber compounds are a number of UV blocking inks for example, those containing the Tinuvins of Ciba-Geigy.
Any suitable amount of the photochromic compounds may be utilized in the photochromic elements of the invention. It has been found that with the preferred spironaphthoxazine compound materials, the loading is suitable between about 3 and about 150 milligrams per square foot. A preferred amount is between 10 and 15 milligrams per square foot to provide good color in sunlight and transparency when a low amount of light is present.
This invention in a preferred form involves the use of photochromic materials for a light meter on single use cameras. When incident light levels are sufficient to obtain adequate exposures with the fixed aperture and shutter speed of a single use camera, the light meter changes color, causing a symbol or word to become visible, indicating to the photographer that an acceptable quality photograph will result.
In photochromic materials, two or more chemical species having different absorbance spectra, and thus different colors, exist in equilibrium. In a simple scheme (Equation 1), absorbance of incident light causes one species (A) to be transformed into the other (B) by a photochemical process, resulting in a color change. The second species (B) can revert to the first (A) by either a thermal or photochemical process. For some applications, for example, an intensity meter for lasers, or an optical computer memory device, it is desirable that the reverse reaction (A←B) be accomplished solely by photochemistry. For this invention, it is preferable if the reverse reaction is dominantly or totally a thermal reaction, so that the light induced signal vanishes when the light level decreases to levels insufficient for photography.
In the simple (hypothetical) example (FIG. 1), the properties of the photochromic compound are determined by: the absorbance spectra of both species, the efficiency of the photochemical process, and the thermal rate constant k-1. The absorbance spectra describe the wavelength of the light that drives the photochemical reaction, the colors of both species and the color change that results, and (in part) the absorbance density formed by both species. The preferred compounds absorb only UV light, and are thus colorless, in form A, but are intensely colored in form B. The efficiency of the photochemical process contributes to the "intensity" of the color formed, the light level needed to cause the observed color change (sensitivity), and the speed at which the color change occurs upon exposure to sufficient light. The thermal back reaction rate constant (k-1) determines how quickly the compound fades when the light source is removed (fade rate), and is a factor in the maximum density obtained. The rate constant depends on the photochromic chemical utilized, and is also highly dependent on the environment of the chemical. For example, the fade rate is much greater when the compound is dissolved in a fluid solvent rather than in a rigid polymeric material, and also depends on the polarity of the medium. The rate constant is strongly dependent on temperature as well, increasing by roughly a factor of three for each 10� C. increase. ##STR1##
The photochromic material must meet several specifications for this application to be successful. The first is the sensitivity of the material. The color change must occur at the appropriate light level. The density formed by the material must be such as to be easily identified by the camera operator. The formation of color must be rapid, and the fade rate must be fast so that when light levels drop below what is needed for good film exposure, the photographer is informed in a timely fashion. As the fading reaction is a thermal process, it depends on temperature, and the temperature dependence of all the above specifications must also be considered. Finally, the photochromic material must display little or no fatigue, or photodecomposition, effects. Fatigue is the gradual decay of the performance of the photochromic system, as an increasing proportion of the compound is converted to other, dead-end species.
A variety of classes of chemical compounds show the photochromic effect. These include the pyrans, the spiropyrans, the fulgides, the spirooxazines, and other chemical families. The spiropyrans have generally poor performance with regard to fatigue. The preferred inventive compounds are spironaphthoxazines, which give good performance in all areas described. The most preferred spironaphthoxazines of the invention have a composition in accordance with Formula 1. ##STR2## wherein R1 is H, Cl, Br, alkyl, carbomethoxy, methoxy, or trihalomethyl
R2 is H or alkyl
R3 is H or alkyl
R4 is H or alkyl of up to 4 carbons.
R5 is carboxyethyl, cyanopropyl, carboxymethyl, methoxy, or H.
The performance of the photochromic compounds is strongly dependent on their interactions with the materials in which they are dissolved/dispersed. The photochromic compounds react most rapidly when formulated in fluid solutions, and very slowly or not at all in a crystalline state. When they are dissolved in more rigid matrices, the photochromic effect is slowed appreciably, as the structural changes which occur with the photochemical reaction (A⃡B) are restricted. The prior art for placing these compounds in rigid polymers for uses such as eyeglass lenses is well known. However, a much more rapid reaction is required for a photochromic light meter for photographic use. Simple solutions and very flexible polymers give good kinetic characteristics, but are difficult to implement, requiring leak proof packaging. In the invention a highly desirable implementation is to include the photochromic compound in a hydrophilic colloid photographic type dispersion. The compound is dissolved in an organic solvent, and then dispersed into an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase of the dispersions of the photochromic elements may comprise a hydrophilic colloid. This may be gelatin or a modified gelatin such as acetylated gelatin, phthalated gelatin, oxidized gelatin, etc. The hydrophilic colloid may be another water-soluble polymer or copolymer including, but not limited to, poly(vinyl alcohol), partially hydrolyzed poly(vinylacetate/vinylalcohol), hydroxyethyl cellulose, poly(acrylic acid), poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone), poly(sodium styrene sulfonate), poly(2-acrylamido-2-methane sulfonic acid), and polyacrylamide. Copolymers of these polymers with hydrophobic monomers may also be used.
Photochromic compounds may be dissolved in high-boiling or permanent solvents. Optionally, auxiliary solvents may be used to assist dissolution of the photochromic compound in the permanent solvent. The auxiliary solvent, if present, is then removed by evaporation, washing, or dialysis. Examples of solvents which may be used include the following:
______________________________________Tritolyl phosphate S-1Dibutyl phthalate S-2N,N-Diethyldodecanamide S-3N,N-Dibutyldodecanamide S-4Tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate S-5Acetyl tributyl citrate S-62,4-Di-tert-pentylphenol S-72-(2-Butoxyethoxyl)ethyl acetate S-81,4-Cyclohexyldimethylene bis(2-ethylhexanoate) S-9Ethyl acetate S-10______________________________________
This photographic type dispersion can be then coated in a thin layer on (photographic) paper, chilled to set the hydrophilic colloid, dried, and hardened by chemical cross-linking of the gelatin. Various types of hardeners can be used in the photographic element. In particular, bis(vinylsulphonyl) methane, bis(vinylsulfonyl) methyl ether, 1,2-bis(vinylsulfonylacetamido) ethane, 2,4-dichloro-6-hydroxy-s-triazine, triacryloyl-triazine, and pyridinium, 1-(4-morpholinylcarbonyl)-4-(2-sulfoethyl)-, inner salt are particularly useful. Also useful are so-called fast acting hardeners as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,418,142, 4,618,573, 4,673,632, 4,863,841, 4,877,724, 5,009,990, and 5,236,822.
The resulting sheets are very convenient to handle, and implement into a product by cutting, printing on, placing adhesive onto back, or other operations. The photochromic performance of the coated sheets is excellent, with very rapid kinetics, as the photochromic compound is effectively in solution, in small droplets of organic solvent still dispersed in the hardened coatings. Details of the procedure and resulting photochromic characteristics are given below.
The following examples illustrate the practice of this invention. They are not intended to be exhaustive of all possible variations of the invention. Parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
The dispersion of the photochromic compound is made according to Table 1. The photochromic compound, the coupler solvent, and auxiliary coupler solvent are mixed at 50� C. with stirring (part 1), and the gel, surfactant, and water are melted, also at 50� C., in a separate container (part 2). The two parts are combined and passed through a colloid mill five times. The resultant mixture is rotovapped to remove the volatile, auxiliary solvent (ethyl acetate) and an equal mass of deionized water is added in its place. The finished dispersion can be melted and mixed with desired amounts of water, gelatin, hardener and surfactants, and coated at varying thicknesses to obtain desired properties. The dispersion is coated on a photographic paper base. The material coats the paper base well and does not separate from the base. The paper base is very white, containing TiO2, showing excellent contrast between the blue signal produced with sufficient sunlight and the lack of color at low light levels. As the coating is in optical contact with the paper base, the light entering the front surface of the photochromic coating reflects off the paper and must make at least two (and often many more) passes through the photochromic layer. This increases the efficiency of absorbance of UV light to trigger the color change, and also increases the visible density of the color produced.
TABLE 1______________________________________Preparation of Dispersion of Photochromic Compound.______________________________________Part 1Mix at 50� C.2% Aldrich 32254-71,3-Dihydro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro 2H-indole-2,3'- 3H!napth 2,1-b! 1,4!oxazine!4% N,N-Diethyldodecanamide6% Ethyl AcetatePart 2Combine andmelt at 50� C.6% Gelatin0.6% Surfactant (Alkanol)Balance Deionized Water______________________________________
The dispersion sample described above is coated on photographic paper at about 15 mg/ft2 (1.4 mg/m2) of the photochromic compound. Upon exposure of the coating to incident sunlight, the sample turns from white (the color of the photographic paper base) to blue, with a visible density of 0.4 at 75� F. in bright sunlight. The color change is apparent at about 40-50 fL incident light level which corresponds well with giving a correct exposure on certain single use cameras. Upon removal of the light source, the coating fades completely in less than 10 seconds. Measurement shows that the density fades to 10% of its light induced density in 7 seconds after removal of the light source. The same material takes 10 times as long to fade when dispersed in an acetate polymer film, and other compounds such as 1',3'-Dimethyl-6-nitro-3'-phenylspiro- 2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline! can take up to ˜1000 times as long to fade to 10% of former density.
The example also shows very good fatigue properties. After being exposed to bright sunshine for over 8 hours, the fade kinetics and the incident exposure required to produce a visible signal were unchanged.
The sample above was overprinted with a UV blocking ink, containing Tinuvin 1130 and Tinuvin 292 of Ciba-Geigy in a 2:1 ratio, placed into an aqueous primer coating at 3% loading. The printing was accomplished by silk screening desired patterns over the described dispersion coating. When exposed to sunlight, the areas where the ink was printed remained white, while the unprinted areas rapidly turned a distinct blue, clearly forming the desired symbol or letters, telling the photographer sufficient light is present to obtain a quality photograph.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The "Next Man Up" theory runs throughout the NFL. Injuries are inevitable and someone has to come in to fill those roles to keep a team from falling back. The Detroit Lions have been weakened at safety because of Louis Delmas' knee surgery and Amari Spievey's on-again, off-again headaches. John Wendling, known for his strong special-teams play during his five-year NFL career, is one of those players trying to prove he can take on a bigger role if needed. Wendling has started both of the Lions' preseason games. In Friday's 27-12 victory at Baltimore, he stopped one drive by breaking up a pass deep in Detroit territory and then forced a punt another time with a sack. He's not flashy by any means, but he's dependable. It's substance over style. "John's a solid pro," coach Jim Schwartz said. "He's always in the right spots. He does a good job of executing the scheme. He does a good job of communicating. He's a very good tackler. Probably more so this year, he...

Charlie Sheen: I'm Going to Haiti With Sean Penn
Sheen, 45, told Access Hollywood on Friday that he's making plans to travel to Haiti with Sean Penn, one of Hollywood's most active providers of assistance ever since the nation's devastating January 2010 earthquake.
"We're going to do a couple things first, and then it looks like we're heading down [to Haiti]," Sheen confirmed during his call-in interview. "And I'm excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly, this tsunami keeps cresting."
Penn spends time in Haiti frequently as his foundation, J/P Haitian Relief Organization, continues charitible efforts on the ground. The Oscar winner's rep initally denied Sheen's claim. But then Penn spoke up late Friday about Sheen helping Haitians.
In a statement, Penn says, "I think his energies, intelligence and passion could be both of service and servicing to him, as it is to all who are touched by the struggle of the Haitian people....Charlie is one of the very few public people who cannot be accused of using the media to his own benefit."
"I would very much like to show my old friend the world of needs on the ground in Haiti, and introduce him and his tremendous wit to our hard working Haitian staff," Penn adds. "If he chooses to give support, I'll trust it."
No word yet on whether the goddesses, a.k.a. Sheen's girlfriends (Rachel Oberlin and Natalie Kenly) will pack their bags and travel to Haiti, too. They may have time on their hands now that they're no longer helping care for Sheen's 2-year-old sons, the adorable twins who appeared on a 20/20 profile filmed inside Sheen's mansion. The boys were abruptly removed from their father's care this week.
Sheen, Oberlin and Kenly recently returned from a vacation in the Bahamas, where the TV star was kicking back on a break from 'Two and a Half Men' (a hiatus the network demanded along with drug rehab for Sheen), when he inexplicably picked up the phone and began his streak of self-destructive rants. His radio chat with Alex Jones included calling his CBS boss Chuck Lorre "Chaim Levine," a nickname that incensed anti-defamation organizations.
But there's a twist: Sheen now reveals that he's Jewish. And he remains concerned that fans not label him anti-Semitic.
Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estevez, told Access Hollywood, "My mom [Janet Templeton] is Jewish. Here's where it gets confusing: We don't know who her father was....But she is, in fact, Jewish. So, I guess that would make me Jewish, and my children Jewish. And Brooke [Mueller], my ex-wife, is Jewish. So, I guess I should've rolled all that out, too....Stupid me, I just got caught sleeping, caught napping. Which is rare for me....But, I'm proud of it. There you have it."
See fans suggest who could be the next Charlie Sheen -- both on 'Two and a Half Men' and in the headlines:

I used to admire Sean Penn, but what an idiot he is to support Charlie Sheen. I suppose in his mind maybe he's trying to bring some reality into Sheen's life. But he's better off just escorting him to a rehab facility or jail.

You know what? I think that the reason he's going to Haiti is because he just wants to boost his image in the media after his attacks and attitude. He kinda trashed his career a week ago...

I have never heard such a bunch of negative people.
I dont care what you think of Sean Penn's personal life, but he has done a lot for Haiti, more then those money collecting theives that misappropriated the money. I see what Sean is trying to say to Charlie, instead of your self absorbed narcissistic life, why not turn your energies to helping others. What an eye opener this will be for Charlie. I think its a great idea. AA is based on service also. Your all a bunch of ignorants.

Penn is as delusional as Sheen. "Charlie is one of the very few public people who cannot be accused of using the media to his own benefit."

At least give Charlie the benefit of the doubt. I hope Sean Penn is the "strong" one here. I hate to think if they both go off on a tangent of some sort.

Re: Play matchmaker for Janeway
Me too.
Why else would it take me 7 and a half year to get around to watching the first season, despite knowing many friends who have the dvds and I downloaded the sucker in it's entirety about a year ago... In theory this bollocks is unavoidable.
I'm actually watching it now because when I handed over my vast Supernatural collection to my boy he totally Veruka Salted me.
"You ASSHOLE. They don't work! Download Supernatural again! NOW!"
(When i fell in love with Veruka, she was an older woman, but that is all locked away in yesterday like the rest of my childhood, but when you find a woman that knows what she wants, it saves a lot of time.)
So once replacements had been fabricated, I had to make sure there was sound and no skipping or I'd get "the bash" again.
9 hours later, I had 12 episodes under my belt
I hate Jenson because he was teacher who didn't think it was sleezy to date a student just because even though "Lana" was technically a child, she was (in his opinion) more mature them most people twice her age... Since that's exactly what all paedophiles say.
I hate Jared because he screwed over Rory and then ditched Hartford never to be seen agin just like that blond Punk who went to live in One Tree Hill. I mean 9 times out of 10 Rory needed a smack in the face to alert the girl that she's making the worst decisions possible but... Sometimes it really is men who wake the world worse than it has to be.
12 minutes till the new Game of Thrones is ready.

While BSG explored many themes from current events, to call it a 9/11 series is not entirely accurate. Had this show been shown closer to 9/11 it would probably have adversely affected its popularity (too close to a tragic event).

The further 9/11 recedes in time, the less significant the series.
I disagree since themes of terrorists, torture, suicide attacks, war, etc are long term themes in human culture. They didn't begin this century and they won't end this century.
I strongly dissagree. I feel that BSG was one of the strongest and best acted science fiction series outside SGU.

We lost the war in Iraq? Or is this from the Iraqi separatist point of view. I don't think BSG was a major show in the middle east though.

Its only chances of revival lie in another 9/11.
For many of the reason's stated above, I strongly dissagree.
NuBSG didn't rely on 9/11, in fact the Singer 2001 remake died a death
of 9/11. It was just easier for them to be able to use allegories.
A Battlestar Galactica remake is off the table for the moment as it's felt to be too soon after NuBSg, not because producers are twiddling their thumbs, just waiting for the next major disaster to come along.
And the war in Iraq was an all-out victory.
The RUNNING OF THE SITUATION AFTERWARDS however was a complete and total screw-up, but a discussion best left out of the normal forums as it can lead to heated debates that can derail threads and make tempers flare very easily!

Two problems: Iran and Syria do not share a border, and Iran has about 1,500 miles of coastline.
Although it took 21 years after Peter ran away at the battle of Narva, Russia finally got a Baltic coastline.
They've turned their stretch of the East African coastline into the most dangerous waters on earth for the shipping industry.

When Does Smart Become Too Smart?
In the wake of a myriad of moves some might deem questionable by former Oregon and present day Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, I've been left to ponder: How smart is too smart? From a literal standpoint, the answer to the aforementioned question is obviously non-existent. Intelligence by no means is a liability. But […] [Read More]
Chip Kelly's Gamble In Philadelphia
On Tuesday afternoon, Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly traded one of the biggest stars in the NFL for a linebacker coming off an ACL tear. It makes perfect sense to me. Kelly believes in the power of his system, and considering the amount of money the Eagles owed LeSean McCoy next season, he decided that […] [Read More]

Hate The NFL? Root For Chip Kelly
There are a lot of reasons to hate the NFL these days, and most all of them are valid. Everyone is outraged, and everyone is piling on – again, rightfully so. But many of those people who are outraged and piling on also know that the only way to affect real, meaningful, transcendent change is […] [Read More]

What is everyones opinion on the schwinn sting rays?
What is everyones opinion on the schwinn sting rays?
buy me one and I'll let you know.
oh and I want it all original too
with a license plate, from a box of Honeycombs circa 1977
honeycombs big, yeah yeah yeah
I have a Stingray saddle and its pretty bling bling...thats about all I can say
"Riding bikes on the street is the fuggin jam!" Juvi-Kyle
You mean the "New and Improved" OCC ones seen at Target and Walmart? They're kinda cool. Probably nice to cruise around in. I can see it now...me on the adult sized one and my 4 boys sporting the mini versions. We are gonna rule my neighbourhood!

I'm talking the new ones:Originally Posted by scob89

Look at the rear wheel sometime
The classics....now those are pretty sweet.
If the new one was made to schwinn standards and not pacrapic bike's standards, then it very well could have been a new classic....
you mean they have the new one in an adult size?
I was just looking at a kids model. The rim had a nearly 1/8" discrepancy with the point where the rim was glued to itself (yes, they glued it...)
There was a few other flaws I caught on that one, but they seemed to slip my mind since that seam was so freaking huge that I coudlnt help but sit there with the kind of horrified look that a kid has who just got peed on by a dog bigger than he is would have (sorry for the visual, but anyhting less would have been too nice to the bad job on that rim).
my opinion: omg yuo aer teh dumbZ0rz!!!!
They're f-ing collector's items! Are you kidding me? So, what's the going price on them?
Target & Walmart? Make your local Schwin get em for you. Then buy some gasoline and go to the WalmartOriginally Posted by progre-ss
bike shops still actually deal with schwinn?
what's the point?
gasoline for what?
why go to walmart?
schwinn's high end stuff are still LBS grade. It's like GT with their I-drive and Mongoose with whatever their sweet bike is called.
For example, their 2005 Rocket LTD has shimano hone on it (basically Saint light), and an overall pretty respectable component set. May be a bit overpriced at $1700, but that's just an MSRP number anyways.
Yeah it is still technically high end, but both schwinn and mongoose have soiled their name and reputation by making total POS bikes to sell to walmart/target/etc.
I guess the bottom line is that yea the bikes do have high end XTR components on them, innovvative new suspesion, but who wants a bike that is sold in walmart? I know i-drives aren't sold in walmart, but you get it.
I certainly don't want one.
I don't buy into that name tarnishing crap. Some companies are known for garbage though, and those I stay clear from.
Heck even for cars, Hyundai doesnt really have a good name, but they have one of the best handling FWD sportscars in the world right now. Then you have Peugeot, who is not a good name here in the states, but has made some rather impressive cars.
Some like ford, have cheapened their stuff over the years, but the SVT Cobra is still one hell of a nice car.
My point is, Schwinn did cheapen their name, but the overall build is still there with exception of a few very low end bikes.
DB and Raleigh has went through this too, and to tell you my Raleigh takes hell and back, and aside from a few pounds of weight, is everybit comparable to any other bike in it's pricerange. Oh, and nearly forgot about my post-buyout Motobecane, that bike kicks much butt as well, despite being made god know where now instead of france(dont they make them in canada or something?).
Basically who cares about prestige, if it's good, it's good.

i read on some schwinn message board a while back that this:
was the prototype for the adult size stingray (not the adult size crate reissue, but whatever the other one's called)
never looked into it again after i got the picture...
A while back I saw some kids in my neighborhood who had a new Stingray. My impressions: a) cool! b) The kid riding was having a hard time steering. It *is* a chopper, after all. c) He was *****ing because it was so heavy. As I recall, it's like 60lbs.
Choppers should not be bought, they should be made by the rider with the help of some beer and some friends.
LBS-grade or not, if my shop started carrying schwinn, GT, or mongoose regularly, we would lose business. a lot of our customers don't distinguish between the quality of a $90 bike and a $300 bike. to a lot of them, a bike is just a bike, so if we carried those brands, they'd just go to walmart or target and buy the same brand for less, and to them, it's still a schwinn. a lot of people now regard schwinns, and GTs and all the other bikes that used to be great, but are now crap as crap, and bikeshops that carry those brands aren't taken seriously.Originally Posted by catatonic
in the same vein, we carry raleigh, diamondback, and fuji as our main brands. all three of those companies have done a great job of getting their stuff into the respectable range again. fuji, while they maintained quality, went to a mail-order-only strategy for a time and paid for it with respect, and dealerships. now, they're back to dealing strictly with real bike shops, and their annual sales figures have gone through the roof compared to the figures from when they were mail-order. the raleigh MTBs are great, great bikes for the price. the more i look at them, the more i realise that, and they're really great to deal with.
companies like schwinn and GT (or, rather, their parent companies) want it both ways. they want to make tons of money in the big box stores by producing crappy bikes, and they want to be respected and have high-end bikes in the bike shops. they can't. before they were bought out, the founders of both companies worked very hard to build up the respect that they had, and they did that by not compromising quality for profit.
The LBS I go to carries Schwinn still.... mostly selling the cruisers and the new line of stingrays.
As for the new adult version - Stingray Spoiler, don't waste your money on it, get the Nirve chopper. http://www.nirve.com/main/cruiser/pr...asp?cid=580.02
The spoiler still sits on 20" wheels, but got to hand it to them on the front fork, it set up to run dual disk brakes, but comes with one.
As for the original the clamps for the triple tree are stamped metal, within a month of selling em, the guys at the LBS had one come in where the bottom clamp bent.
But over all I agree with PhattTyre - Build your own, it more rewarding Just check these handbuilts/restokustoms http://bikerodnkustom.homestead.com/
ecch! that photo is funky...tho it reminds me of the Giant Stiletto, but with more..stuff on it somehow
Fate is the Hunter
What are they doing? Why do they come here? Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.
i'll stick with my 1969 Stingray full street custom. it's a real chopper, the only thing stock on it is the frame.
FGG#1756and 5,964
I got one for my youngest nephew. I was delighted to see number one on his list to santa was a Schwinn Sting Ray. So I immedately went out and got it still in the box, then put it together Christmas Eve.
My impression was that the bike was well built, easy to assemble, sturdy, and a nice looking bike. I took it for a spin and enjoyed riding it (I got the 20 in wheels because my nephew is about 4' 2" at 5 years old). My brother took it for a ride, and at 5' 10" and 185 pounds, he also felt the bike was supportive of his weight. My nephew, who is a klutz and has balance issues (he's a sissy boy) rode it in the parking garage on Christmas day and loved it. Because the bike is a lowrider, it's easier for him to handle and balance, and he's less likely to fall now. His other bike was a Mongoose, and he hasn't been able to ride it yet because again, he has balance issues.
I can't say much more, since I only rode it once for a few minutes, but when I head back out there in the spring for our rides, I'll see how sturdy and how well it rides.
Hey bottom-bracket, just how custom is it?
I Kustomized my Beach cruiser, http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...chmentid=13660 Since the pic I changed out the rigid for for a chromed out springer and finished the pinstripin. I have to wait til I finish rebuilid my fiance's bike before I Kusto my 71 Schwinn Manta Ray

Beastie Boys Changed the Game: PEOPLE Music Tribute

When the Beastie Boys first hit big with "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)" in 1987, they crossed the hip-hop color lines and became the first white rap group with any real cred.
Still, with its frat-boy chorus, the song seemed to be somewhat of a novelty. Would they really be able to keep up with the likes of Run-DMC, Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim – all contemporary black rap groups?
I, like many other young blacks into hip-hop at the time, was skeptical. But the answer was a surprising, resounding yes. Which is why the untimely death of Adam "MCA" Yauch from cancer at 47 hits so hard.

Little Lime® Hardy Hydrangea Hydrangea paniculata

- Summer

- 36 - 60 Inches
Little Lime® Hardy Hydrangea Hydrangea paniculata
Dwarf hydrangea produces green summer flowers that turn pink in fall. Dwarf 'Limelight'. Blooms every year. Hardy.
Plant Needs
Excellent for the mixed border or foundation plantings. This compact, hardy hydrangea fits easily into smaller landscapes, including container gardens.
Prune in late winter/early spring. Apply a controlled release fertilizer in early spring. A supplemental dose of liquid feed may be needed in mid summer. Soil pH does not affect bloom color.
Dwarf 'Limelight' hydrangea!
Compared to its famous sibling 'Limelight', Little Lime hardy hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) may seem like a pipsqueak. Don't let this petite shrub fool you. While maintaining its short stature of 3-5' tall and wide, it really packs a visual punch in the garden. In summer, lime green blooms open on strong stems – no drooping here. As it ages, rich pink coloring emerges to prolong the show through fall.
Little Lime hydrangea is small enough to grow in containers and also stands out as a bold mass planting. Its bright bloom coloration makes it an excellent choice for cut flower gardens and can be used fresh or dried. This reliable performer blooms on new wood, so a quick trim in late winter or early spring will encourage fresh growth and an abundance of buds. Like most hardy hydrangeas, it is hardy to Zone 3 and does best in full sun or part shade.
Summer flowers open soft green and turn pink and burgundy in fall.
Little Lime® Hydrangea paniculata 'Jane' USPP 22,330, Can 3,914

How Does Georgia Diversify Our Economy?
The news of apparent recovery has come frequently from northwest Georgia's flooring industry in recent months. The region's economy remains heavily reliant on flooring. State economic development officials say they focus more on diversifying Georgia's overall economy rather than looking locally or regionally.

The latest frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination is Pizza King Herman Cain. So naturally the media has finally started listening to eveything he has to say.
And he's proving that being the frontrunner for the GOP nod means you have to out-crazy the others in the field if you're going to keep that status until the next frontrunner takes over.
Crazy is as crazy does, and Herman hasn't disappointed. While in Tennessee over the weekend, Citizen Cain had a solution to the illegal immigration problem. He announced that he would build a fence 20 feet high with barbed-wire. And it would be "electrified." He added that there would be a sign, in English and Spanish, mind you, that would warn any man, woman or child trying to climb over the fence that "it will kill you."
Naturally, he was called on that remark. Even by members in his own party like GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann. And if you're called out for saying something crazy by the likes of Bachmann, it's time for the straight-jacket and rubber room.
To fend off the attacks, Cain said he was only joking and that America needs to get a sense of humor.
OK, then let's deal with that. Since the upteenth Republican presidential nomination debate took place tonight in Las Vegas, it would've been more entertaining had Hermain Cain was the opening act, as a stand-up comedian. What better place to try out your inner-Bob Hope than the entertainment capital of the world?
After Herman is introduced, his monologue could go something like this:
"Good evening fellow Americans, and any Democrats that might be watchin.' I'm Herman Cain, the man with the 9-9-9 plan. It's been vilified, criticized and demonized. But I'm not on the fence on this one. Because if I was, I'd get electrified."
[audience laughs politely]
"Tonight the debate comes to you from Las Vegas. Sin City. Mitt Romney's religion doesn't much like this place. But Mitt's here because there's actually money around he hasn't touched yet."
[very little laughter from audience]
"But seriously, folks, Jon Huntsman boycotted this debate. That makes sense, Republicans have been boycotting his run for the nomination ever since he announced he was a candidate."
[no laughter at all from audience. Cain taps microphone]
"Is this thing on? I know you're out there, I can hear you cheering for letting people on life support die if they have Obamacare."
[audience responds more favorably]
"Rick Perry is at home in Vegas gambling. Rick is no stranger to doubling-down —- on issues. He has the wife out on the stump weeping that we're picking on him. She needs cheering up, Rick. Take her out to dinner and then to an execution."
[audience laughs reluctantly]
"Hello, Newt Gingrich. Newt has spent so much money on bling at Tiffany's, Marcus Bachmann wants to be his fourth wife."
[camera gets shot of an uncomfortable looking Michele Bachmann]
"I was actually at that concert for Clinton's global initiative the other night. Lady GaGa performed. In case you missed her act, you can catch Marcus Bachmann in drag performing the same routine at the MGM Grand."
[steam is actually coming out of Michele Bachmann's ears now]
"Ya, the concert was disappointing. In honor of Lady GaGa, Hillary was supposed to show up wearing a meat pantsuit."
[audience is loving it now]
"I don't see what the big deal was. This wasn't the first time a butt-ugly woman performed for President Clinton."
[crowd is hootin' and hollering now]
"But back to my fellow contenders. Mitt Romney, you're so stiff, I think I'll start calling you Viagra."
[audience "oohs" and "ahhs" but Mitt has the same oblivious look on his face]
"Mitt, if Ron Paul wasn't in the running, you'd be the one most resembling a corpse."
[audience groans again]
"And what can you say about Rick Santorum. Except, who?"
[Santorum has a look on his face like someone told him his cat died]
"Let me finish by saying I've changed my stand on the immigration situation. But I haven't softened on it. Instead of an electrified fence, I'm gonna install a 20-foot high, 100-miles long pizza oven and throw all of them illegals in it."
[audience is in a frenzy now]
"And then I'm gonna feed 'em to the dogs. Chihuahua Supreme Pizza!"
[audience gives him a standing ovation]
"Pepperoni Pinada!"
[more frenzied response]
"Whose hungry for a Hermain Cain candidacy?!"
[audience lets him know]
"Let's order this one to go. Whattaya say?"
