The deal to win Shelby County government's backing of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton's plan for a Fairgrounds Tourism Development Zone is getting more complex.

Through September, things were looking somewhat bleak for Memphis and Shelby County on the economic development front.
At that point in the year the city and county were on pace to tie a record low for the number of payments-in-lieu-of-taxes, or PILOT, agreements granted to companies in a year.

I have size US 13, narrow, low volume feet. It's been an adventure just finding shoes that fit. I run on and off road and the fireblades are the perfect shoe for me. Features like the gaiter over the tongue and a airy toebox and snug heel work great on and off the road. I used to run in Brooks cascadias, but find the fireblades a much bettter match for me in terms of last and support. They are a stiffer shoe than the cascadias, with less cushioning, but feel more stable on any terrain.

Prior art liquid crystal displays typically comprise a backlight assembly for illumination, light polarizers, color and neutral density filters, and an active matrix liquid crystal layer with thin-film-transistor backplanes. The overall light efficiency of a typical prior art liquid crystal display (LCD) is below 10% mainly due to the fact that light from the backlight assembly has to pass several layers of polarizers, color and neutral density filters. A further problem with LCDs is the slow response time of the liquid crystal resulting in objectionable visible motion artifacts when displaying motion images.
Flat panel displays based on electromechanical light modulators have been proposed as a viable alternate to LCDs. One type of prior art electromechanical light modulator comprises of a light shutter plate attached to flexible members and both are constructed on a planar surface. A comb drive or similar electrostatic actuator is used to move the shutter plate in a plane parallel to the underlying substrate to modulate light.
In prior art designs the shutter plate is susceptible to tilting and touching the underlying substrate. Also electrostatic efficiency of actuators used to move the shutter plate is low. In prior art actuators, only a small surface defined by the thickness of the film is effective for generating electrostatic force.
Also LCD backlights generally do not meet the requirements for illuminating electromechanical light modulators. Using a LCD backlight with electromechanical light modulators will yield similarly low light efficiency of LCDs.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a display that can compete with LCD's in light efficiency, picture quality and cost. Increased light efficiency is achieved by providing a display in which light travels most of the light path by total internal reflections and fewer reflections from highly reflective surfaces. Improved picture quality is achieved by providing fast and efficient light modulators.
Another object of the invention is to provide a high contrast display of the character that operates at high levels of ambient light. Embodiments of the invention achieve this object by providing a display wherein the majority of the viewing surface is coated with a light-absorbing coating.
The foregoing as well as other objects of the invention will be achieved by the novel display and elements illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the specification that follows.
Referring to the drawings and particularly to
As best seen in
Backlight 20 further includes a first optical layer 32 constructed from a substantially transparent material having a refractive index n2 with a value between approximately 1.45 and 1.6. First optical layer 32 comprises a light exit surface 36 (
Backlight 20 also includes a second optical layer 34 formed between light input surface 35 of first optical layer 32 and upper surface 30 of waveguide 21. Second optical layer 34 is constructed from a fluoropolymer or other substantially transparent material having a refractive index n3 with a value between approximately 1.3 and 1.4.
Further illustrated in
As best seen in
For some combinations of refractive indexes n1, n2, n3 and angle 37, light rays entering the first optical layer 32 may reflect from the light reflecting facets 33 and change the angles before reflecting internally from the light exit surface 36. To prevent this, backlight 20 further includes a light reflecting layer 24 (
Referring now to
As before the display backlight 40 includes optical waveguide 21, light sources 25 installed proximate the wide edge 26 of optical waveguide 21, first optical layer 32 with embedded light reflecting facets 33 and second optical layer 34. The display backlight 40 further includes a substrate 41 constructed from a substantially transparent material such as glass having a refractive index n4 with a value between approximately 1.45 and 1.6 and a dichroic filter 44 formed on the upper surface 43 of substrate 41.
As shown in
The steps for fabrication of first optical layer 32 with embedded light reflecting facets 33 are illustrated in
Display 50 includes optical waveguide 21, light sources 25, substrate 41, first optical layer 32 with embedded light reflecting facets 33 and second optical layer 34 that were described before with respect to
Display 50 also includes a plurality of spacers 51 constructed on upper surface 36 of first optical layer 32 and a cover assembly 80 which is affixed on spacers 51. Cover assembly 80 (
Display 50 further includes a plurality of novel light shutters 52. More details of light shutters 52 of the invention are illustrated in
Referring now to
Light shutter 52 comprises a shutter plate 53 suspended above substrate 41 with four tilting supports 54. Shutter plate 53 is constructed from an opaque thin metal film or a multilayer film having a conductor layer and includes a plurality of light transmitting regions 57. Shutter plate 53 and tilting supports 54 are preferably constructed from a thin aluminum alloy film with a black oxide finish. Pads 58 are used to attach tilting supports 54 to substrate 41.
All edges of shutter plate 53 are beveled to prevent shutter plate 53 from bowing or bending. Each tilting support 54 is constructed with a rigid middle part 60 (
In operation, shutter plate 53 moves with respect to the substrate 41 and optical layer 32 (
When a suitable voltage is applied between the first electrode 83 and shutter plate 53, generated electrostatic attraction force moves shutter plate 53 to the upper left position and tilts supports 54 to near the upright position. This is illustrated in
The mold 65 is constructed from a photo-resist layer applied on substrate 41 using gray-scale lithography or multiple masks. Pits 67 and recessed regions 69 are formed on the surface 70 and a groove 68 is formed on a inclined wall of each pit 67. As shown in the drawing the outer surface of the mold 65 generally has the same shape of shutter 52. Shutter 52 is constructed by depositing and selectively etching a thin layer of conductive film on surfaces of the mold 65.
Light transmitting regions 57 of shutter plate 53 are formed in recessed regions 69 and supports 54 are formed in pits 67. The rigid middle part 60 of the supports 54 are formed in grooves 68.
Having now described the invention in detail in accordance with the requirements of the patent statutes, those skilled in this art will have no difficulty in making changes and modifications in the individual parts or their relative assembly or fabrication methods in order to meet specific requirements or conditions. Such changes and modification may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention, as set forth in the following claims.

Best Sport Draws
This is my first set of draws, and they are great. Yes they are expensive, but these are the best you can buy. These don't twist at all, with the thick dog-bone. They are heavier than other draws, but who cares. Both the 'biners are great, you have the dynotron on top and the livewire on the bottom. Both very high quality Carabiners. All i can say is they are excellent. Wish they offered them in different lengths. Great Draws, would recommend them to anyone.

An eagle-eyed team led by stylist Alexis Foreman headed out with balloons and bags for a Mulberry Sees You special at Wilderness festival, featuring the Lily, Tessie and Bayswater Satchel in bold bright red.
"Being asked to capture festival style at Wilderness 2014 for Mulberry was an offer I didn't hang about accepting. Of course I'd love to prance about the Oxfordshire countryside scouting for style savvy ladies! And with the sunshine forecast for at least the first couple of days, I knew there would be some fabulous outfits on display before the rain descended upon us and the dreaded raincoats would shroud those carefully considered ensembles.
There was of course a multitude of sequined bodied, headdress wearing beauties who I couldn't help but capture with the gorgeous heart shaped Mulberry balloons. Although what I was really on the look out for, were those who had laid aside the fancy dress vibe and stayed true to their own signature style. All of which were predictably, more than happy to pose with their choice from a selection of beautiful red Mulberry bags- the perfect festival accessory!"
Mulberry would like to say a huge thank you to Alexis Foreman of Style Memos, our 'Mulberry at Large' Wilderness Style Spotter!

I have just received a 1981 CX500 Custom with 110,000 miles. It was said to always run excellent, but has been in the garage for 4 years. I put klean in the tank, but when I go to crank it, it won\´t start. When I spray ether in it, it starts to run timid but will not keep running unless I continue to spray ether in it. It has a slight knock on the clutch side. DOES ANYONE HAVE SOME ADVICE?

Got a nice crib but I'm outstanding like Mr. Wendal
from Wale – Arrival Lyrics on Genius
Wale may also be referencing Mr. Wendal, from the song by by Arrested Development. That corresponds with the previous line that mentions everyday people. The song talks about a homeless man who doesn't have the worries of politics and corruption and war, but rather his only worries are his day to day tasks, and his health. The 'outstanding' part, may refer to how homeless individuals stand outside.

Schön Properties signs NSCC for AED27.5 million
Schön Properties has recently signed an AED27.5 million contract with NSCC to handle additional shoring and enabling works for Zones Two to Seven of the Dubai Lagoon project. With an intensified construction program now underway, this new agreement will pave the way for more streamlined development of the site.
Schön Properties selected NSCC because of the companies well established reputation in the market, "NSCC has a proven track record of efficiency and superb results in delivering turnkey foundation engineering, which will be integral in our renewed push to deliver the remaining sections of the project in the best possible time. We have every faith that NSCC will provide an outstanding service in line with our goals," said Asher H. Schön, Vice President of Schön Properties.
Mobilization on site is expected to commence in a fortnight, once all permits have been processed and is expected to take approximately six months including site preparation, shoring works, and the excavation of 600,000 cubic metres of sand and the construction of double basements in specified zones to allow for additional parking.
NSCC are pioneers in foundation works, and considered at the forefront of the design and construction of foundation engineering solutions. NSCC was the first company to introduce piled foundations to the UAE in the early 1970s, and has been the foundation and enabling works partner for many iconic projects in the region.

Progress Michigan's "Pepé Le Voucher" stands with MEA member Rochelle Noel, a school counselor in Livonia Public Schools, at an event Monday in Ypsilanti to protest Gov. Rick Snyder' secret "skunk works" voucher group.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited Michigan on Monday to participate in several media events with Gov. Rick Snyder to promote the governor's Education Achievement Authority experiment.
The following can be attributed to MEA President Steve Cook in response to the Detroit News' story, "Education reform group forges voucher-like plan for Michigan":
The federal government has relaxed some of Michigan's requirements under the so-called "No Child Left Behind Act," allowing more flexibility in how local school districts spend federal education dollars, the Michigan Department of Education announced this week.

Jennifer Strickland, a ninth grade language arts teacher at Laingsburg High School and her co-applicant have received a $2,000 "Student Achievement Grant" from the NEA Foundation to create a paperless classroom.
Through her "Login to Learning" program, Strickland's students will be able to submit writing assignments via Google Docs, peer groups will the writings and teachers will evaluate assignments online. The emphasis on technology will allow Strickland and her colleagues to make class assignments more interactive and allow students to take charge of their learning.
MEA ESP Caucus President Connie Boylan introduces NEA 2012 ESP of the Year Judy Near as the keynote speaker at the 2013 MEA ESP Statewide Conference on Saturday, March 16 in Bay City.
Working in a rural Colorado school district for 22 years, Judy Near was constantly frustrated by her non-union work environment. Employee concerns weren't addressed. Near's colleagues felt voiceless.
At a time when Lansing politicians are considering numerous "reforms" affecting public education, people need to hear from school employees. After all, Michigan teachers and education support professionals are on the front lines of education, making them the state's leading experts on education policy.

Counter-Life Version 1Dec 25, 2008 Full Version 50 comments
Counter-Life Version 1. Finally left the beta stages. Was getting bored with Beta from 6 onwards. I wanted change it to version back when it was like...
Half-Life, voted game of the year in 1998. Counter-Strike, one of the world's popular online action game. What would happened if you were to merge both of these?
Simple, you would have a mod with Half-Life's storyline with Counter-Strike's weapons and hence, Counter-Life is born. Most of Counter-Strike's weaponary (minus the shield and smoke grenades) will be available for you when you purchase them from buy stations .
'Half-Life is Single-Player, so where are they buy stations?' Well, all the buy stations are the Health and HEV stations you encouter throughout the game, strategically placed. Just go up to them and use them. Unless you have the cash and the 'last resort' weapon, you can't go around buying all the weapons you can carry. Like in CS, each weapon cost a specific amount of cash.
'What about Xen?' Download the mod and find out yourselves.
Monsters, soldiers and allies in Counter-Life are also given a few enhancement to make them totally unique from the original Half-Life. Sad to say, killing G-man is still impossible because he happens to be your middleman and your so-called boss in HL2.
*Counter-Life is playable using steam and also allows you to use Counter-Strike custom models and other high poly w_ and p_ models. There are simply no restrictions or limits. Just the Half-Life ones.
Try making Counter-Life look unique. Get textures, sounds, sprites, skins and models to beautify it. Play through HL SP once again with CS weapons and make your enemies...SUFFER!
* To get CL working on Steam, place the CL folder in "Steam/SteamApps/youemailaddress/Half-Life" directory. For more information => Support.steampowered.com

Sorry for the long wait, guys. Been busy learning tutorials on 3D modelling and a bit of animation with some rendering techniques thrown in. Have to get them ready for my portfolio so I can hopefully find a job related to the gaming industry.
So progress for CL is slow but I haven't forget about it. The mood's all about 3D and a bit of Fallout 3 (this game really sucks me in with all the sweet weapon mods).
I'm also trying to get some ideas for secret weapon 2. I'm wondering about a... never mind.
So far, I've brought back the M4 to its original silenced state. It has been fun with the M203 but most of the M4's custom models are without the M203 so we can see plenty of screw ups. Ouch...
I also have other plans for CL in my notes and hopefully most of them can be reality. One such thing is a bagpack that can increase the ammo being held. I've tried doing that when CL was still in Beta but I can't get it to work. Damn thing crashed when I tried loading it...
Anyway, "Die Waffen, legt an!"*
* = Sweeper should know this reference.
Counter-Life Version 1. Finally left the beta stages. Was getting bored with Beta from 6 onwards. I wanted change it to version back when it was like...
Counter-Life Beta 7. It has been a long wait, hasn't it?
This + Brutal Half-Life + Scientist Hunt = MOST EPIC MOD HYBRID EVER!!!!!!!!!!
i don't like the M4A1's model
im confused, in Planet Half Life, there's a Counter-Life 4.3 available but the download takes you to a gun license page and the Counter-Life official website page doesn't work either.
I found CL beta 5.7, and seems like it's very old. The files were edited in 2003, so the mod here seems to be the last version.
Is this mod dead? I would love to see it in its final form
It's in it's final form - I pm'ed him in 2010 & he told that for christmas he'll release the source code - still don't know where - , but yes, sadly the mod is dead, but somewhere over the net the source code is avaliable & it can be continued.
There used to be more Santa Slayer maps in multi-player co-op. I found these here:
But the rest of them here:
Do not work anymore. Tried extensive searching with every search string I could use. Anybody have the ss_stalkyard, ss_subtransit, ss_crossfire, and ss_undertow maps they could upload? I am sure any maps available would be a big contribution to the community if anything.
Why the mod suddenly in the most viewed?
WE...WANT...MORE!!!We want more of this great mod!Only version 1,c'mon!

Mod DB Book Club Seeks MembersMay 9, 2008 News 6 comments
Our group is growing quickly, and we'd like as many people as possible to come and participate.
For all the lovers of literature who lurk about the dark caverns of modDB, find haven here. Share the latest books your reading, discuss styles and trends in literature, make recommendations, and much more.
Our group is growing quickly, and we'd like as many people as possible to come and participate.
Here I present to you some guidelines and recommendations for making use of modDB's group features in the Book Club group.
Finished "I più grandi eventi meteorologici della Storia" by Paolo Corazzon (I doubt this book's been translated into English, though, so ignore it) and started "LCSI: Morte sulla Luna" by Steven Harper (original name of the book: "Dead Man on the Moon"). It's rather fluid, I like it.
Done. As I said it's rather fluid and interesting, without too much sci-fi and descriptions on it.
It's rather disturbing, however, how the book... ends. Well, in theory it ends, but in really it's almost as if there's one less chapter there. What happens to all protagonists, even in the short term? Who knows.
disturbing as in u cant eat or disturbing as in having a crappy ending?
The ending itself isn't bad, it's just that it isn't complete. Weird.
u mean like one of those that u have to decide urself what happens in the end?
ok here's another one :
"do androids dream of electric sheep?" by philip k ****.
in a post-apocalyptic world, the story revolves around a bounty hunter who works for the police and retires(kills) the androids that have killed their masters and escape to earth from mars.during his latest assignment however,he must faces other problems such as moral issues in killing androids and etc. ....
its a short story and its quite good.also the plot has some twists and turns.a good way to spend a couple of hours if u have some free time.
Sounds interesting... one question: what are the moral issues in killing androids?
they seem to have feelings.the char has this issue that he is not sure where androids end and humans begin.u get the point right?
Yes, I do, but that seems a bit forced IMHO.
oh yeah.ive been VERY busy recently so i havent read anything new either.
man working and studying together sucks big time.i mean before, when people complained about this i was like :"shut up wimps.if u cant take it kill urselves.besides its not that hard".now i truly sympathize with them.
(supposed to be a reply,screwed up again)
noone has read anything new?
exams :P

At Last Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles
Worked for me.Thanks to dev because it was a pain to hide each bar individually whenever I wanted real fullscreen.
Edit 10/25: Re primordialstew review, his description is correct for 16.0.1 - when I tested it was on 15.0.1 which works fine.
It appears the choice is to back up to 15.0.1 or wait for Release 17 to see it it fixes the problem; if it does the add-on will no longer be needed.

Tragedy Turns Ex-Fatty Boy/ Fatty into Bruce Lee of Wellness -
Beginning at age six, 'Fatty Boy' was my nickname. As I grew older, my nickname was changed to Fatty. How fun was it to be called a Fatty? I didn't care much, but I do not recall loving it. Although I was very cheerful by nature, consciously and subconsciously, I hated being fat, especially when it came to changing my clothes. I always wondered how others could stay healthy and looked so neat in their clothes and I always looked so sloppy in whatever I wore.
Years went by and not knowing what to do, I continued to eat what I wanted, whenever I wanted, and as much as I wanted. It was during my teenage years that my nickname was changed from Fatty Boy to Fatty, because I was no longer a small boy. Unfortunately, my Fatty nickname did not go away for many more years. Not even when I was in the swim team, badminton team, martial arts, and in the Army (Combat Unit) - my nickname Fatty was there to stay. Even though the Army's training was tough, somehow, I managed to eat enough junk food to keep up with my nickname Fatty.
I continued to gain weight as I grew older, because I never stopped or cut down on the junk food that I loved to eat. I loved ice cream, chocolate, chocolate milk, chips, fries, cheese, deep-fried foods, and almost everything that was very salty, sweet, or DEEP FRIED; fresh fruits and any kind of vegetables were a No-No for me then.
At age of 20 to 25, something started to change. My energy and concentration levels continued to drop. I was not able to sit through a 45-minute lecture without dozing off several times per class. My stiff neck went from bad to worse as time went by.
1st Turning Point: Meeting With My Future Mother-In-Law
At age 25, my stiff neck was hurting me so badly that I could not sit still without having to rotate my neck frequently to ease my pains. Fortunately, I continued to be myself even when I was in front of my future mother-in-law, I ate like a pig. I would eat all the things that tasted best but were bad for my health.
Then my future mother-in-law order came into play. "You have to go for a blood test," she said. What should I do? Follow her order of course - or I was probably going to lose my chance of marrying her daughter. And it turned out to be a blessing, I found out that my cholesterol was 288 at the age of 25 (a safer cholesterol zone should be less than 200, to reduce the chance of health or heart diseases). In addition, my good cholesterol (HDL) was way too low and my bad cholesterol (LDL) was way too high. What's next?
I started getting into various diet programs and went on all kinds of strict diets. Every program that I tried didn't seem to work; the weight that I lost would come back again soon after the diet program was done. One disappointment after another -- but I just would not give up because I was determined to stay healthy for my future wife and my future kids. Through trial and error, at the fourth year of trying, the Color Belts' Success Formulas started to take shape. Since then, my cholesterol level and weight have been back to normal and my neck pains are gone - for years, naturally. And of course, my nickname Fatty was gone with the fat!
2nd Turning Point: A Phone Call That Changed My Life
Three days prior to September 1st of 2006, a very lovely and giving man was just chatting with me over the phone thousands of miles away. Everything seemed to be normal, as usual. This man also happened to be the man who did not give up hope on me because of my study challenged background.
Fortunately, he believed in me and gave me an opportunity to pursue my studies in the United States. It was at Oklahoma State University that I met my then future wife, Linna, who later turned me into someone who loved to study, read, and write.
Sadly, on September 1st of 2006, I received a phone call from my brother-in-law in Singapore and it was about the very lovely and giving man. I lost him to a sudden massive heart attack. This man is my dear Father Ong Choon Lee.
It was the extreme pain of not having him for an extra day that inspired me to convert my years of yo-yo dieting notes into Mind Your Own Wellness to help others live their healthiest and best, not only for themselves, but also, for their loved ones too!
I sincerely hope that this book will inspire you to live your healthiest and best for yourself and your loved ones.

My Top 10 Family Adventures
By Michael Lanza
How many outdoor trips do you have on the calendar for 2015 already? I have four, with others in active planning stages. For me, this is the time of year for pulling out maps and guidebooks and poring over my list of adventures I want to take. My document slugged "Trip Ideas" is now 15,234 words long, and growing. I need to get busy—and so do you. To help you out with ideas and inspiration for next year, here are my Top 10 Family Adventures at The Big Outside, ranging from climbing Mount St. Helens to backpacking in the Grand Canyon and cross-country skiing in Yellowstone. Continue reading →
Ask Me: Where Should Our Family Backpack in the Grand Canyon?
Dear Michael,
My wife and I take our kids to Ketchum every summer and became fans of your site by finding your great recommendations and tips for the White Cloud Mountains. We are now planning a trip for our kids' spring break beginning of April 2015 to the Grand Canyon. Our kids are 13 and 14 and are accustomed to multi-day backcountry hikes in the White Clouds and Sawtooths, with 2000+-foot elevation gains. We were seriously considering your suggested four-day trip east to west from Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trail, but I just noticed that you have also recommended that to someone else on your Ask Me section in response to a request for a "big dayhike." We don't want to kill ourselves with an unreasonable pace, but I don't want to allocate four days for a trip that my kids could reasonably do in two or three. Do you have any advice for what might be the best way to do this, or whether there is an alternate route you would suggest?
A Matter of Perspective: A Father-Daughter Hike in the Grand Canyon
By Michael Lanza
The New Hance Trail starts out hard, and then gets really tough. The rugged footpath drops off the South Rim into the Grand Canyon like a ball rolling off a table—4,422 vertical feet in 6.5 miles from the rim to the Colorado River. Most of that relief comes in the first five miles, as the trail wiggles through more switchbacks than a squirrel racks up in a year of crossing streets. Geology magnifies the unmaintained path's grueling character: It drops over hundreds of knee-jarring, quad-jellying ledges two to three feet high, which can seem endless to someone carrying a backpack.
I imagine it seems especially endless to someone who stands barely more than four-and-a-half feet tall. Continue reading →
Ask Me: What Backpacking Trips Do You Suggest In the Grand Canyon and Southern Utah?
Hi Michael,
I recently found your blog while planning a trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, and have devoured it in its entirety over the past few months. While reading I mainly lamented living in the mostly boring Midwest, with poor access to the prime backpacking spots you describe. Well, as luck would have it my partner just got a job in Phoenix, AZ, so we two flatlanders will now be a short drive from the Grand Canyon, and accessible to Canyonlands, Arches, and much more. My question for you: what backpacking trips would you most recommend as first priorities for two reasonably fit, decently equipped people new to the Phoenix area? Continue reading →
Photo Gallery: Backpacking the Grand Canyon, Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trailhead
By Michael Lanza
Are you ready to step up to the next level of adventure? The 29-mile, four-day hike from Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trailhead is a classic, and not as popular as other Big Ditch backpacking trips. It features infinite views of deep chasms and soaring towers from arguably to two most scenic trails on the Grand Canyon's South Rim—the Grandview and South Kaibab trails—and a traverse of the gentler Tonto Plateau, with mind-blowing panoramas stretching from the canyon rims to the Colorado River.

It's official: Microsoft buys Sunrise calendar
You may have heard whispers this week that Microsoft is out to get popular calendaring app and service Sunrise. Well, those are rumors no more as the two have just announced the acquisition. The purchase of Sunrise is just one of the latest moves that Microsoft seems to be making to redefine and redesign its productivity products, which may also speak of the once slow-moving giant's new drive to make itself and its products more relevant in a computing age that is moving away from traditional desktop thinking.

YIELD: Serves 1
Rim a chilled Solo cup in coarse salt and set aside. Dump all your feelings—er, ingredients—into a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain over fresh ice into the salted Solo cup. Or, if you're feeling classy, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lime wedge. This is in Judy Blume's honor, after all.

Actually I'm very happy with my 30 year old B series Omega. I'm sure if I could find a D series for the right money I'd be extremely happy. I am worried about getting all the right parts for the two larger formats. I looked at the local Omega repair shop's webpage. It seems that for 150mm I'd need a different lens mount. At least for 105mm it seems the stock mount would work. The prices they've got on rebuilt D series enlargers are enough to scare anybody off-(.
I intend to keep using my current enlarger for 6x6 and smaller. I've got all the parts for it and it works well. So really I'm looking for something for relatively low usage.

Finished Xenoblade recently
by, 7th August 2012 at 01:54 PM (324 Views)
It's a really good game, it for sure makes it into my favorite list. At first I didn't really like it, it was a little confusing and boring. But it grew on me really quickly, and I kinda got addicted to playing. It's a fairly easy game, aside from some of the bosses, which I sometimes had a lot of trouble with.
My favorite character is hands down Riki. I mean, he's just so adorable and funny. Admittedly when he was introduced, I was worried he would be a weak joke character, but he's certainly proven otherwise. Alvis would have to be my second favorite character, I dunno, I just like him. His name made me laugh the first time I heard it, though.
The game also has a good plot, even though there's some bits I think could have been better. It's pretty weird, and there's some significant plot twists (though some of them were predictable). It starts out, in a nutshell, as humans vs robots. But it becomes much more complex as the story progresses, making some surprising and ironic turns.
Some other things I liked/didn't like:
-How you can encounter unbeatable enemies (enemies at levels much higher then you) when progressing through areas, it gives the game a bigger sense of danger. It's not like Pokemon where you can just beat everything you face, you really have to be careful to not take on foes out of your league. You can come back later at higher levels and beat these monsters, though.
-The amount of sidequests is really large. There's a lot of them to complete, and some of them are pretty fun.
-New Game+ is pretty cool. Though there are some things about it that just drive me crazy, mostly how the characters don't seem to acknowledge extremely obvious changes from the first playthrough. I can't really explain without spoiling stuff, but you'll see if you do it yourself. It's not really a big deal, I guess. And for the record I haven't gotten very far in it yet.
-Equipment and armor is visible on your character, so if you change what they're wearing, you can actually see the aesthetic changes. This is a pretty cool thing that a lot of RPG's I've played don't have, but I really don't like some of the outfits. I feel like some of them look rather silly, and it discourages me to put useful armor on the characters if they look that silly.

There are many things that can keep a football player away from practice. Some of the more common things include injuries, personal matters, and traffic, but what about a piece of candy?Yes, that's right. A piece of candy.Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church reportedly missed practice on Monday because of an injury sustained from a cherry Jolly Rancher.A few weeks ago, Church was sucking away on his favorite hard candy when he bit down and chipped his tooth. He experienced some pain, but didn't worry about it, until the pain became too much when he awoke Monday morning.Church described the pain as "crazy" and proceeded to make a trip to the dentist to undergo a root canal. Meanwhile, Church was forced to miss practice."It's good. I was numbed up yesterday because of the dentist appointment," Church said Tuesday, via the Fort Worth Star Telegram. "They didn't want me to practice [Monday]."The Cowboys have also issued Church an ultimatum: no more Jolly Ranchers until after the season."I have to stick to the soft stuff -- Starburst, Skittles, stuff like that," he said.Via Eye on Football
