Hi everyone,
Today I'm sharing a bit about my Amber Allure gay paranormal, KILLER IN WOLF'S CLOTHING. It's a fun look at the werewolf legend. Excerpts and reviews are on my site & blog.
I hope you'll check it out!
Killer in Wolf's Clothing
A super aggressive Alpha male, a serial killer, and a visit to a kinky sex club…What has Larry gotten himself into?
When Larry learns that his boyfriend Greg changes into another man during the full moon, he has a hard time accepting it—until he meets Deke, Greg's alternate Alpha personality.
Deke doesn't play nice and has no time for games. He only wants two things—to get laid and to get revenge against the arsonist who murdered his friends. Finally free from Greg's restraints, Deke is ready for action, and Larry is more than willing to submit to Deke's needs.
Together, Larry and Deke set out to find the killer. Their hunt takes them to an all-night Alpha sex club where things heat up for the two of them. But when Larry unwittingly falls into the clutches of the murderer, it's up to Deke—and Greg—to save him before it's too late.

Is the new wishlist format driving anyone else nuts with the price being moved waaay over to the other side? I find myself looking back and forth constantly.
It is not all bad though, nice to see the comments now work and when you add something to your wish list you don't end up at your wish list. But the movement of the price is reallllly driving me nuts right now. I could scan down one column before and see if anything was on sale that was in my wishlist. Now I can't do that and, well not sure if I will bother to use the wishlist anymore. :/ If you didn't guess I have a huge wishlist heh.
In short if they move the price back the wishlist would be perfect (at least for me anyway). The only thing missing would be the ability to move items around on the list. Although one could move them to cart then back to the wish list if the need arises.

Brazilian Sign Language
|Brazilian Sign Language
|Native to
|Brazil and Brazilian diaspora
|Urban areas
Native speakers
|3 million (no date)[1]
|Language codes
Brazilian Sign Language, also known as "Libras" (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈlibɾɐs], from "Língua Brasileira de Sinais" [ˈlĩɡwɐ bɾɐziˈlejɾɐ dʒi siˈnajs]) and previously known as LSB, LGB or LSCB (Brazilian Cities Sign Language),[3] is the sign language used by deaf communities of urban Brazil, or the area concentrating 85–90% of its population.
Recognition and status[edit]
Libras is well-established; several dictionaries, instructional videos and a number of articles on the linguistic features of the language have been published. It has dialects across Brazil reflecting regional and sociocultural differences.
A strong sign language law was passed by the National Congress of Brazil on April 24, 2002, and (in 2005) is in the process of being implemented.[4] The law mandates the use of Libras in education and government services.
Educational approaches has evolved from oralism to Total Communication and bilingualism.
Libras fingerspelling uses a one-handed manual alphabet similar to that used by the French Sign Language family.[5]
There are 44 distinct handshapes used in the language.[3]
Deaf and sign language organizations[edit]
The most important deaf organization is FENEIS, the Federação Nacional de Educação e Integração dos Surdos (National Federation of Deaf Education and Integration). There are a number of regional organizations in Curitiba, Caxias do Sul and Rio Grande do Sul.
Wittmann (1991)[6] posits that LIBRAS is a language isolate (a 'prototype' sign language), though one developed through stimulus diffusion from an existing sign language, likely Portuguese Sign Language and/or French Sign Language.
Nevertheless, autochthonous sign languages flourished among Brazil's Indigenous peoples (that perhaps influenced Libras to some degree), and it shows similarities with members of the French Sign Language family.
Language Codes[edit]
bzs is a language code for the Brazilian Sign Language, defined by ISO standards (see ISO 639-3).[7]
Interestingly, there is no ISO code for spoken or written Brazilian Portuguese, as the relevance of its distinctiveness to Portuguese is disputed.
pt is a language code for Portuguese, defined by ISO standards (see ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).
pt-BR is a language code for the Brazilian Portuguese, defined by Internet standards (see IETF language tag).

PROFESSIONALS like doctors, lawyers, engineers and dentists are increasingly concerned about socio-economic issues in Namibia such as profession-specific job opportunities, health-care standards and education costs.
They are however still confident enough about the future to continue staying in the country for now.
This is based on the latest PPS Namibia Graduate Professional Confidence Index (PCI), which tracks the confidence levels of over 130 local graduate professionals. First quarter results for 2013 revealed that 87% of respondents were confident to remain in Namibia for the foreseeable future.
Adri Vermeulen, Chief Executive of PPS Namibia, said the fact that these professionals, who sustain the country's skills force through the provision of vital professional services, do not have plans to emigrate is "very positive".
"Despite this however, they are increasingly pessimistic regarding the opportunities available in Namibia, which could impact their decision to stay in the country in the long-term," said Vermeaulen.
The index revealed that 69% of respondents are confident that there are enough opportunities available to new professional entrants into Namibia's labour market.
In addition, 76% are confident there are enough opportunities to practitioners working in their specific profession in order to reach their maximum potential in the country. The concerns are reflected in the National Planning Commission's National Human Resources Plan that addresses issues of critical skills creation to meet current and emerging development challenges.
"This document states that the Namibian higher education sector faces challenges of recruiting and retaining Namibians who hold a post-graduate qualification, with a particular problem for the sciences, information and communication technology and engineering fields," according to Vermeulen.
While confidence in the standard of education over the next five years increased by one percent to 60%, 75% of professionals indicated that the cost of education is an increasing concern - 3% up.
"The National Human Resources Plan highlights the limited capacity of tertiary education to absorb new learners and low educational attainments as the major reasons why higher education graduates are not sufficiently prepared to face the country's changing socio-economic challenges." Vermeulen said.
The future of health-care is a concern for 60% of Namibian professional - down 4%. Healthcare remains a concern for most Namibians as the poor are unable to find adequate healthcare due to high costs and lack of medical resources in rural areas, says Vermeulen.
On a positive note however, he said teams of doctors are joining the Medic Rural Upliftment and Social Healthcare initiative which provides primary healthcare to underprivileged communities.
To date the initiative has assisted over 5 000 patients by providing medication for common ailments and preventative care and screening for common conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
"In order to attract and retain valuable skills to the country, it is important to be aware and address the concerns the survey highlights to ultimately sustain the economy," Vermeulen concluded.

Bilt Adventure Helmet Report

LOVE this helmet! Even more after 30 minutes of mods
Don't miss that Hundred Bucks AT ALL. My wishes for improvement match the other's, namely less noise, better ventilation, and a darker retractable shield. I've made a couple of mods that probably made the first worst but really improved the second and third.
First, remove all the screws and add LocTite then reinstall. You'll know their tight and they won't fall out. Several reports in this thread of screws falling out/parts falling off.
Second, If you remove the peak, which I recommend anyway to put LocTite on the screws, you'll see a square hole in the outer shell. This is directly under the top vent slider and is right on top of your head. The shell is cut out but the inner foam is not.
View from above:
Well, I took the handle of a plastic spoon and worked two groves into the foam connected the hole in the shell to the front of the foam. This allows the air directed into the vents on top to flow into the helmet. The air unfortunately has to make a 180* turn to enter the helmet and then another to leave but this is as good as it's gonna get without compromising the safety of it. The total amount of foam removed is MINIMAL. Wouldn't fill a teaspoon by a long shot.
View from behind, after mod:
View close-up of foam, after mod:
Makes a significant difference in overall air volume flowing into the helmet. Took maybe 5 minutes. You can tell a difference just standing in front of a fan, much less in 60 mile an hour wind.
Third, the retractable shield is not as dark as I'd like and there are no available options from Cycle Gear at this time. I used the peel-off lens protector that comes on the helmet as a template to cut out some static-cling style vinyl window tint from Wal-Mart's automotive department. I'm sure this is available in varying degrees of tint (rated in the % of light that passes through, so lower=darker) but I've had this roll a long time and used on everything from radio screen in my truck to car windows for when my niece is in her car seat to the windows in my bedroom at home (night shift=sleep during the day). Probably costs $10 or so. Given my intended uses I probably bought the darkest stuff available but don't remember. THIS FILM USES NO GLUE so it leaves NO RESIDUE and can be removed and reapplied over and over if you like. Peel the lens protector, stick on the tint film, cut around it with common scissors, and apply both to your shield.
The reason you leave the factory film on top of the tint is so you can work out the bubbles without risking damage to your tint. The stuff is pretty tough but this is most likely the most pressure/stretching/etc it'll see. I used a plastic shopping card to work out the bubbles. Took 5 minutes or less. So people use soapy water but I don't. There is plenty of room for the shield to retract with the tint on the outside of the lens, even with the factory protector on, so if you decided you wanted it even darker multiple layers could be used. This mod not only darkens the shield for sunny days but also protects it from scratches.
The flash makes the tint look a funny shade and you can definitely see all the lint I hadn't rinsed off yet. I'm super happy with the tint mod. The irregularities along the bottom are way below line-of-sight, even when looking down but I'm sure a more patient person with steadier hands could achieve more perfect results.
Perform any and all mods at your own risk.
EDIT: looks like cycle gear does sell replacement OUTER shields in clear, light smoke, and dark smoke so you could pair a smoked shield with the retractable sun shield i guess and get a little more relief from the sun but I like the tint mod because it only affects the inner shield and clear vision is always just a flick of the wrist away.

A St. Marys resident is charged in removing guns from his mother's home and attempting to sell them.
Police report that Robert Herrick Pearsall, 25, of 172 Robin Rd., St. Marys, attempted to sell four guns at Elk County Ammo and Arms on April 30. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Pearsall's mother told police that the guns were left to her and and her other son by her late husband.
RIDGWAY – Two Ridgway residents have been charged in their alleged involvement with the kidnapping, assault and unlawful restraint of Rachael Imdorf.
A major catastrophe was miraculously avoided Thursday in Kane when an alleged drunk driver in a pickup truck rammed a natural gas regulatory station on Oak Street.
"You dodged a bullet," said Bruce Manning, the director of the McKean County Emergency Management Agency (EMA). "If there had been a spark, there would have been a big fire."
Businesses, industries and homes in the area of Oak and North Fraley streets were evacuated for about one hour following the noon-time incident.

As Southwest Airlines moves ahead with plans to implement new fuel-saving navigation procedures, the airline is finding the process challenging.
The low-cost carrier announced last year that it would invest $175 million during the next six years to implement required navigation performance (RNP) procedures at the 64 airports it serves after receiving FAA approval to conduct such operations.
"Our RNP program is, without a doubt, the most complicated and time-consuming project that Southwest has ever embarked upon. Southwest Airlines has learned that it's difficult, complicated, and expensive to implement RNP," carrier senior director of flight operations Jeff Martin said in his written testimony to a 29 July US House Aviation Subcommittee hearing.
Each of Southwest's more than 500 aircraft require some type of modification to conduct RNP procedures, which has "consumed" more than 80% of the airline's NextGen budget, Martin said during the hearing.
Earlier this month, the Dallas-based operator completed autothrottles and vertical navigation (VNAV) modifications on its fleet, enabling pilots to fly more precise speeds and utilise optimum descent profiles.
Nearly 300 of the airline's Boeing 737-700 aircraft are RNP-capable today, he says.
In addition, Southwest plans to retrofit its remaining 215 737-300 aircraft with GPS receivers, software upgrades and necessary avionics in the next four years to fly more direct and efficient RNP procedures, Martin says.
As the airline addresses equipage issues, Southwest has also delved into timely pilot training.
Developing a training curriculum for the new navigation procedures took 19 months and "consumed" 13% of the airline's NextGen budget, Martin says.
In his written testimony, he notes that Southwest's final operational specification (OPSPEC) package, a regulatory requirement for future RNP operations, was 1,871 pages including regulatory support materials and training procedures.
Southwest is in the midst of training its nearly 6,000 pilots on the use of automation, VNAV and autothrottles. Training on autothrottles began last year as autothrottles were deactivated on Southwest's Next Generation fleet because until then, flight crews had all been standardised on the classic 737 cockpit.
Next the carrier will train pilots to perform basic GPS approaches followed by RNP flight procedures
All training is expected to be complete next year in order for the airline to begin flying RNP procedures by October 2010, Martin says.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — As medical examiners painstakingly piece together the identities and lives of the 29 people known killed when a mudslide wiped out a small Washington community, one mystery troubles them.
One set of remains does not fit with the description on the missing persons list, which, as of Wednesday included 18 people.
The medical examiners know it is a male. But his remains give no clue as to who he was, or who might be looking for him. They can't even identify his age range. Without possible family members to compare, DNA tests are useless. At this point, gold teeth are all they have to go on.
The mystery underscores the tedious process of identifying remains more than a week after the March 22 landslide that broke off a steep hill, roared across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River and buried a community at Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle.
Like the homes, the cars and the other parts of people's lives swept away by the torrent of mud, some bodies are in pieces.
Norman Thiersch, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner, said the goal of the team — which is made up of medical examiners, detectives, dentists and others — is to make sure there's no doubt as to the identities of the victims.
"This is not television," he said. "These are methodical, painstaking processes we go through."
Although the identities of 28 of the 29 confirmed dead have been determined, officials have so far released the names of only 25. Other names are expected to be released by the end of the week. Eighteen people are still listed as missing.
When bodies or remains are found in the mudslide area, crews dig them out and they are flown by helicopter to a nearby landing pad where they are readied to move to the medical examiner's office in Everett, about 30 miles from the scene. Once there, the bodies are moved to a tented area for decontamination, where they are cleaned in warm water. From there they are moved to the autopsy room where examiners take fingerprints, look for signs of dental work and identifying marks such as tattoos. When that work is complete, remains are moved to a refrigerated area where they stay until funeral homes make arrangements for burial or cremation.
The process for identifying remains, some of which are partial, is careful work, especially when trauma is involved, Thiersch said.

WALLA WALLA (AP) — The Walla Walla coroner's office is working to reunite families with more than 300 cremated remains that went unclaimed.
Coroner Richard Greenwood says he's already identified 10 of the remains as soldiers, and an honor guard conducted a burial for them.
KVEW reports the cremains have been collected from several places including prisons and funeral homes that have closed.
One Montana woman was able to find her infant who died at birth in the 1950s.

SweetheartCircle is taking a short break.
Thanks so much for checking in... My shop is currently on vacation. *If you've recently purchased an item I've already shipped it to the address you provided on your invoice. It shipped via USPS first class mail. ;0) Please allow time for it to make its way to you. Especially if it is an international purchase as it will have to go thru customs. Below are my Production/Shipping Policies which are located throughout my shop, on the listing you purchased, on the email purchase confirmation etsy sent you, and on your invoice. Thanks and have a wonderful day! ~Kim
Production time is 3 to 7 business days. Production time is time spent making and packaging your item. I then ship exclusively via USPS first class mail from GA. Inside the USA it takes approximately 2 to 10 business days to ship according to USPS. Please allow additional time if this is an international purchase. I never guarantee delivery dates because destinations vary and once it's shipped it's out of my hands (especially if this is an international purchase and it goes thru customs and then must be delivered by your country's postal service). For this reason the USPS won't give estimated delivery dates for international purchases. Guitar picks ship in a small white business envelope with "Sweetheart Circle" and hearts stamped on it. It will be mixed in with your other mail in your mailbox. Your order will be marked "shipped" on your invoice and a message from etsy will be sent to your email letting you know it shipped (no tracking). If you don't see it in your regular inbox check your junk mail/spam box. I will ship your order to the shipping address you provide on your etsy invoice. Again, I ship exclusively via USPS first class mail (no expedited shipping). Business days are Monday-Friday (excluding holidays). Please note: NO additional after purchase customization is offered. Orders will be filled as the listing states. Please do not make a purchase and then request free additional customization to be done in the notes box. I don't offer stamping on the back of guitar picks or charms because it creates a bubble effect on the front. Thanks so much for shopping Sweetheart Circle! Have a wonderful day! ~Kim

With Atlus' adventure game being the star of last week's release schedule, things are turned down a notch this week. Just before Deus Ex: Human Revolution leading the charge of high-profile titles in the next few weeks, gamers will have to make do with a few low-key releases.
First up is the latest video game adaptation of the manga/anime hit Bleach called Bleach: Soul Resurreccion. The action game pits players as series protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki as they relive key moments in the story's Arrancar and Hueco Mundo arc. The title also features dual language (English and Japanese voices), customization options via the soul orb system, and cel-shaded graphics. For more coverage of the game, check out GameSpot's recent preview.
Next is a PC exclusive Pirates of Black Cove. This real-time strategy/role-playing game hybrid pits gamers into the shoes of one of the pirate leaders to amass a small pirate army for real-time-strategy-style missions and pilot a small ship to bombard the Seven Seas. Players can expect to invest in eight to 10 hours of single-player campaign action. The hybrid will be out tomorrow on Asian shelves.
The PlayStation 3 version of Limbo makes its debut this week. Last year's moody story-driven platformer garnered critical acclaim when it was released last year on XBLA as a previous Xbox Live Summer of Arcade promotion.
Speaking of which, last but not least is the third game in this year's promotion, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. The game is billed as an "adventure-exploration-shooter" where players control a spaceship to collect various tools in an alien world with different elemental themes. The game will be available for purchase on XBLA this Wednesday.
August 2
Bleach: Soul Resurreccion (PS3)
Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension (PS3, DS, Wii)
Pirates of Black Cove (PC)

35 year old woman | Anaheim, CA, USA | Seeking men 33-43 within 35 miles of Fullerton, CA
One day your life will flash in front of you, make sure it's worth watching.
So first your basics; I love to cook, to take drives, I love a man, and I hate a coward. I love being a woman, being a woman allows me to be smart, sassy, and sxy what more could I ask for. I'm pretty outspoken and my friends say I have no filter, but I haven't met a boss or set of parents who don't like me, my parents raised me right I just made some tweaks along the way. I'm 100% a daddy's girl, but was hardly given my way. So now that we have that out of the way! People ask me all the time why I decided to do online dating, and to be honest there are several reasons, I will never ever ever date where I work, some people can make it work, I would go crazy, I go to school online, and the bar men while I like going to the bar with one, the odds that I'll meet one IN the bar are about 8/10 will I like them, hmmm odds are 1/10, so hey why not try online, most of our lives are spent in front of a computer anyways. What am I looking for? Somebody who is honest with who they are, somebody who has direction and is not still "trying to find out who they are", somebody who is looking to have fun, but also be serious, if I wanted the bar guy I would go to downtown fullerton, you need to have a good balance, of being fun but being a man who can lead be responsible and take charge when needed, oh and confidence is super sexy I have recently started hiking and I LOVE it however I think the first time I see a snake I'm OUT! I am a single mom to a little girl who is 11.I am proof that you can be friends with your ex, and when I say friends I mean just that, he is somebody who I enjoy being around, well maybe his girlfriend more, ha but there is no drama and I do not expect that to change anytime soon. I am also a full time student working towards finishing my degree. "here's to the nights that turned into mornings, and the friends that turned into family

A corrector mirror folds the optical path between the objective and relay portions of a three-mirror anastigmat. The corrector mirror is a non-powered mirror having a nominally flat but higher order aspheric surface. By placing the corrector mirror between the objective portion and an intermediate image formed by the objective portion, the field offset of the anastigmat can be significantly increased. A large field offset makes the off-axis anastigmat ideal for use with an on-axis dewar for infrared imaging applications.
1. An all-reflective optical system for receiving and focusing optical signals comprising:
(a) a primary mirror having an optical axis and a concave reflecting surface yielding significant net positive optical power and operable to create a subsequent intermediate image;
(b) a real unobscured entrance pupil displaced from said optical axis and located prior to said primary mirror;
(c) a significant two dimensional field of view displaced from said optical axis that is substantially in focus at said intermediate image;
(d) a low power corrector mirror having a general aspheric reflecting surface and positioned between said primary mirror and said intermediate image;
(e) a secondary mirror having a convex reflecting surface yielding significant net negative optical power and positioned subsequent to said intermediate image;
(f) a tertiary mirror having a concave reflective surface yielding significant net positive optical power and positioned subsequent to said secondary mirror;
(g) a final image surface that is substantially flat and located subsequent to said tertiary mirror and is optically conjugate to said intermediate image by the operation of said secondary and tertiary mirrors; and
(h) a real unobscured exit pupil displaced from said optical axis and positioned between said tertiary mirror and said final image surface and optically conjugate to said entrance pupil by the operation of said primary, corrector, secondary, and tertiary mirrors.
2. The optical system of claim 1 wherein said exit pupil is substantially centered on said final image surface such that an imaging f-cone at the center of said image is substantially perpendicular to said image surface.
3. The optical system of claim 1, wherein said primary, secondary, and tertiary mirrors have conic section configurations.
4. The optical system of claim 1, wherein said primary, secondary, and tertiary mirrors have general aspheric configurations.
This is a divisional application Ser. No. 08/247,362, filed May 23, 1994 now abandoned.
This invention relates in general to all-reflective optical systems and in particular to an off-axis three-mirror anastigmat.
Reflective optical systems have long been the champion of the astronomical community, primarily because of their size, lightweight construction and broad spectral coverage. Slowly gaining popularity in other communities, reflective optical systems are now beginning to challenge the established refractive optical systems.
In general, reflective optical systems provide superior performance over refractive optical systems. Reflective optical systems provide superior thermal stability and radiation resistance, and they offer lower image defects arising from chromatic aberration (unlike reflective elements, refractive elements focus different wavelengths of radiation at different focal points).
For certain applications, reflective optical systems can be made far more compact than refractive systems. Reflective systems can operate on a wider range of wavelengths than can refractive optics without introducing geometric aberrations and distortion. A reflective optical system can operate on both visible and infrared radiation. In contrast, an all-refractive system can operate on visible light or it can operate on infrared radiation, but it cannot operate on both visible and infrared radiation. Thus, an all-reflective surveillance camera would require only a single set of optics for viewing visible and infrared radiation, whereas an all-refractive camera would require two sets of optics: one set for viewing visible radiation, and the other set for viewing infrared radiation. The size and weight savings are impressive and obvious; the elimination of boresight issues is equally impressive, but less obvious.
One type of all-reflective system having a wide range of applications is a three-mirror anastigmat (TMA). The TMA is a re-imaging system, having an objective portion that forms an intermediate image and a relay portion that relays the intermediate image to a plane for viewing. The TMA permits correction of the three fundamental types of geometric aberrations: spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism (three mirrors being the minimum number of elements required for correction of these aberrations in the absence of certain symmetry conditions). The TMA can also be designed to correct for curvature of the field of view.
One such TMA 2 is shown in FIG. 1. The TMA 2 includes a primary mirror 3, a secondary mirror 4, and a tertiary mirror 5. The primary mirror 3 receives optical signals through an entrance pupil 6 and forms an intermediate image 7, which is between the primary mirror 3 and the secondary mirror 4. The secondary mirror 4 and tertiary mirror 5 cooperate to relay the intermediate image through an exit pupil 8 to a focal plane 9 for viewing. This TMA 2 is disclosed in Cook U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,517, issued on May 30, 1989 and assigned to Hughes Aircraft Company, the assignee of this invention. Cook U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,517 is incorporated herein by reference.
The off-axis TMA 2 covers wide fields of view on a flat focal surface at fast optical speeds (optical speed, denoted by an f/number, is proportional to the amount of light collected by the optical system, and it can be calculated as the angle of the F-cone or equivalently as the focal length of the optical system divided by the entrance pupil diameter). For tactical infrared imaging, the off-axis nature of the TMA 2 yields an unobscured aperture, and the relayed nature allows stray radiation to be rejected. The relayed nature of the TMA 2 also allows for 100 percent cold shielding, which is critical for modern tactical infrared detectors.
In addition to the above beneficial characteristics, the TMA 2 has an additional characteristic that can be valued quite highly. Due to the significant angle at which the imaging F-cones intercept the focal plane 9, the TMA 2 can be designed to preclude the reflection of radiation back to its source. This overcomes a problem known as signature augmentation, a phenomenon which is apparent to anyone who has taken a photograph of a person with a camera having its flash bulb mounted directly above the camera's lens: the person in the picture appears to have "red eyes." Signature augmentation occurs because the retina absorbs all but red light from the bulb, and reflects the red light back to the camera lens and onto the film. If the TMA 2 is operated at a small incidence angle, it too will reflect light back to the light source. In certain wide-field applications, this can have serious consequences.
It is apparent from FIG. 1 that the elimination of signature augmentation requires the imaging F-cones to be everywhere outside the normal of the focal plane 9. This necessarily offsets the exit pupil 8 from the focal plane 9, thereby requiring an off-axis cryo-dewar to be built. For those applications where the presence of signature augmentation is of no concern, the cost of the off-axis dewar presents a hardship.
The TMA 2 could accommodate an on-axis dewar (where the cold shield aperture is directly over the focal plane array) if the field of view were offset signficantly. However, such a large field offset would not allow the correction of image aberrations and distortion to the levels generally required for most applications.
Solutions to the problems above are provided by a three-mirror anastigmat comprising an objective portion operative to form an intermediate image; a corrector mirror, disposed in an optical path between the objective portion and the intermediate image; and a relay portion for relaying the intermediate image. For those applications where the augmentation signature is not a concern, and where an on-axis dewar is greatly desired, the addition of the corrector mirror improves upon the optical form shown in FIG. 1. The corrector mirror allows the field of view to be offset sufficiently, providing substantially on-axis F-cones, while still allowing for the desired correction of image aberrations and distortion.
FIG. 1 illustrates a ray-trace section of a three-mirror anastigmat according to the prior art;
FIG. 2 illustrates a ray-trace section of a three-mirror anastigmat according to this invention; and
FIG. 3 illustrates an infrared detection system employing the three-mirror anastigmat of FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 illustrates a TMA 10 including a primary mirror 12, secondary mirror 14 and tertiary mirror 16, all disposed substantially about a common axis C. The primary mirror 12 receives optical signals 18 through an entrance pupil 20 and forms an intermediate image 22. The secondary and tertiary mirrors 14 and 16 cooperate to relay the intermediate image 22 through an exit pupil 24 to a focal plane 25 for viewing.
The TMA 10 also includes a corrector mirror 26, a nominally flat mirror, for folding the optical path between the primary and secondary mirrors 12 and 14. The corrector mirror is located between the primary mirror 12 and the intermediate image 22. The corrector mirror 26 allows the field offset to be increased, allowing the TMA 10 to be operated further off axis than the TMA 2 of FIG. 1. While increasing the field offset, the corrector mirror 26 does not degrade the performance of the TMA 10; wide field of view, image quality and distortion correction are maintained.
The power distribution of the primary, secondary and tertiary mirrors 12, 14 and 16 is positive, negative, and positive. The corrector mirror 26 is preferably non-powered, but could have a slight positive or negative power, and it could have a higher order aspheric figure. The precise powers of the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 are selected such that the sum of the powers is zero. A zero sum provides correction of the Petzval sum, causing a zero curvature in the focal plane (i.e., a substantially flat field condition).
The cross-section of the primary mirror 12 can be conic (e.g., paraboloid, hyperboloid or ellipsoid) or a higher order aspheric. The cross-section of the secondary mirror 14 is typically hyperboloid, but can also be a higher order aspheric. The cross-section of the tertiary mirror 16 is typically ellipsoid, but can also be a higher order aspheric. The corrector mirror 26, though nominally flat, is generally provided with an aspheric surface. The aspheric surface also allows the corrector mirror 26 to reduce aberrations in the pupil imagery. These geometries are left up to the discretion of the optical designer.
The mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 can be designed on a computer with a ray-tracing software package. Sag (z) of each of the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 can be determined by the following equation, which is an industry standard: ##EQU1## where C=1/radius; D, E, F and G are constants;
ρ2 is the radial distance on the mirror; and
κ is a conic constant=-(eccentricity)2.
From this equation, a prescription for the TMA 10 can be generated. One such prescription is shown in the Tables below. The TMA prescribed in the Tables has excellent image quality and distortion correction over a 6�8 degree field of view at a speed of f/4. It must be stressed, however, that the prescription in Tables I and II is merely exemplary, and that the prescription of each TMA is determined by the intended application. Therefore, TMAs for different applications will have different prescriptions.

Composition of the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 is dependent upon the application for which the TMA 10 is intended. For wavelengths in the visible spectrum, the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 can be made of materials such as glass, metal, plastic or advanced composite. For wavelengths in the infrared spectrum, the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 can be made of materials such as glass, plastic, metal or advanced composite. The method of fabricating the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 is dependent upon the composition. Fabrication processes include conventional polishing, computer-controlled polishing, precision machining, replication and molding.
When being assembled, the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26 can be aligned by being bolted together (typically for precision-machined mirrors) or snapped together (typically for plastics). The method of alignment is dependent upon the composition of the mirrors 12, 14, 16 and 26, the method of their fabrication, and the intended application.
Thus disclosed is a compact, re-imaging all-reflective optical system that is especially suited for wide field of view applications (either line fields for scanning systems or two-dimensional fields for staring systems) where the focal cones for the center of the field must be substantially normally incident on the focal plane 24.
FIG. 3 shows an infrared imaging system 28 which takes advantage of the off-axis operation of the TMA 10. The system 28 includes the TMA 10 and an on-axis dewar 30 having a cold shield 32 centered directly above a detector array 34. A cold finger 36 forms a thermal connection between the detector array 34 and a cryogenic source (not shown). The corrector mirror 26 of the TMA 10 does not have detrimental packaging effects and can even allow more favorable configurations in some instances.
The TMA 10 of the infrared imaging system 28 can be provided with a field stop (not shown) located between the primary and secondary mirrors 12 and 14 to permit passage of the intermediate image, while blocking the passage of substantially all stray electromagnetic radiation outside of the field of view. Failure to block this stray radiation could result in high levels of noise and spurious signals which degrade the ability of the detector array 34 to detect infrared radiation.
It should be noted that the TMA 2 of FIG. 1 cannot be used with an on-axis dewar 30 because the dewar 30 would interfere with the incoming light. Therefore, the only other feasible combination would be an on-axis TMA (e.g., TMA 2) with an off-axis dewar. However, the on-axis nature of dewar 32, that is, the cold shield 32 being centered directly above the detector 34, makes the on-axis dewar 30 less complex and, therefore, more desirable than the off-axis dewar, whose cold shield is not centered directly above the detector array.
It will be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely exemplary and that a person skilled in the art may make many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, a corrector mirror could be placed between the secondary mirror and intermediate image of the three mirror anastigmat disclosed in Cook U.S. Pat. No. 4,265,510. All such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
What a great day! We left Yosemite for our drive to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We drove through Fresno and it was a wonderful city of around 500,000. There were orange groves as far as you could see. We saw some grapes vineyards and lemon groves as well. There was a huge semi truck loaded with oranges driving in front of us. The semi hit some bumps and took some turns when oranges fell from the truck. We were hoping to get some free oranges from the deal but they were orange juice by the time they hit the pavement. We did stop at a strawberry stand and got some fresh California strawberries and they were so sweet. We drove the two lane highway up to Kings Canyon and it was so beautiful. We were at around 7000 ft and the weather turned cooler. We started our hike at the General Grant Tree Trail. Just pulling into the parking lot and seeing these majestic trees was amazing. Most of the trees are named after states or presidents. The General Grant Tree is the world's third-largest living thing and has the greatest base diameter of any sequoia at 40.3 ft
Backside of General Grant
. This tree is as tall as a 27-story building. It is wider at the base than a three lane highway and weighs more than 700 large cars. The wood from these trees is very soft and weak but if it where strong enough for construction more than 40 average-sized 5-room houses could be built from it. We hiked to the Centennial Stump. In 1876 the tree was cut down for the Centennial celebration in Philadelphia. It took 2 men 9 days to cut down this tree. The tree was so big that it was split to be transported across country. The people in the east laughed saying these tall trees were a hoax. I was so sad to think this 1800 year old tree was cut down. We then past the Fallen Monarch which supposedly toppled centuries ago. The tree was completely hollow all the way through and until recently the path went directly long way through the tree.The tree was probably hollowed by fire long before it fell and died. The tree did not shatter as most sequoias do when they fall instead it fell in a deep cushion of snow and fell intact. The Fallen Monarch served as a hotel, saloon and the US Calvary used it to temporarily stable their 32 horses. We climbed some huge boulders and had a snack taking in this magnificent grove of Sequoias. We took another 3 mile wonderful hike to the North Grove and saw many incredibily awesome Sequoia trees. We were the only ones on the trail it was like the forest was ours. While having dinner we read about the Sequoia trees, one of the interesting facts about these trees is the ONLY way they can die is by falling over! They are resistant to fire, disease and insects, all the things that kill other trees. We then started our travel through the Sequoia National Park. It was starting to get dark and the road was extremely curvy. Kevin loved driving these roads they reminded us of the roads we drove in the Alps with MANY hairpin turns. I am sure the views were incredible and we will find out tomorrow when we go back in the daylight. While driving down and turning the corners we would catch glimpses of the giant sequoia trees right next to the road. We have several fantastic hikes planned for tomorrow. On the drive were we only met 2 other cars, we saw two foxes, a bobcat and most exciting we rounded a corner and in the middle of the road was a momma black bear and her cub. Unfortunately it was too dark and we could not get any pics, besides we were both so excited and very glad we were in the car. We both think these Sequoia trees are so magnificent and we never tire of looking at them in awe. We will be sending some pics of us next to the trees to give you some perspective of their size. The pictures cannot show the magnitude of these giants. Enjoy!

Rich Wheat Germ Bread
|Cake compressed yeast/1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar
|Warm water
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Skimmed milk
|1 2⁄3 Cup (26.67 tbs)
|Cooking oil
|3 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|2 Teaspoon
|Wheat germ
|1 1⁄3 Cup (21.33 tbs)
|All purpose flour
|5 Cup (80 tbs)
Prepare the yeast liquid: mix the compressed yeast with the warm water until dissolved or dissolve the 1 teaspoon sugar in the warm water, sprinkle in the dry yeast and leave in a warm place until dissolved and frothy, about 10 minutes.
Mix the warm skimmed milk, oil, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
Add the yeast liquid, the wheat germ and all-purpose flour and mix to form a soft dough, adding extra all-purpose flour if it is too sticky to handle or more liquid if too dry.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by hand or 2-3 minutes in a food mixer with a dough hook.
Cover the dough and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Remove the cover and knead the dough for a further 2 minutes.
Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into balls.
Cover again and leave to rest for a further 10 minutes.
Shape to fit three well greased small 4 1/2 x2 1/2 x1 1/2-inch loaf pans.
Lightly brush the tops of the loaves with cooking oil.
Cover and let rise for about 1 1/2 hours in a warm place, longer in a cool one.
Bake in the center of a moderate oven (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.
Turn out onto a cake rack and leave to cool.
