United States Patent 3,380,864 lvIETHOD OF PRODUCING LENTICULAR EMBOSSING ROLLS Frank W. Broderick, P.O. Box 2, Stirling, NJ. 07980 Filed Jan. 13, 1965, Ser. No. 425,334 3 Claims. c1. 156-14) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The method of producing an embossing roll whereby an optimum lenticular reflecting surface is produced including etching a design area in a roll in which broad parallel lines produce different reflective angles; coating the roll with a first acid resist and doctoring off the surface the resist so that etching remains filled with the first resist; spray coating the exposed roll surface with a second acid resist and etching the sprayed surface to a degree necessary to produce a mist surface on the outer surface of the roll, among the first acid resist and mating another roll with the prepared roll whereby embossing a foil produces an embossment having shiny upper surfaces and duller valleys on lower surfaces.
This invention relates to lenticular engraved rolls and to the novel method of preparation and to the novel product of said roll.
The figure of the drawing is a flow diagram with legends.
The prior art has developed techniques in lenticular line engraving used in embossing plates for Christmas, Easter and similar greeting cards. Such embossing is done on foil with registered transparent colors overprinting the lenticular reflecting surface in such a manner that a different reflectivity is obtained whenever the angle of perception is changed. Such embossing has been accepted in great demand for gift packaging purposes in this country but manufacturers could not procure the necessary embossing cylinders for high speed rotary presses, due to the impossibility of securing satisfactory engraving at a practical cost.
Various attempts have been made to produce such embossing rolls 'by means of photoengraving but the angular joinings of the reflective lines did not blend with the background with the result that only crude reproductions were obtained. Attempts to obtain better results by machine engraving having the primary tooling cut by hand resulted in costs that were prohibitive to users of modern packaging.
According to this invention, a new photoengraving process is developed which eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art and thus is economical and is designed for use in high speed rotary equipment.
It is an object of this invention to produce by a novel method of lenticular embossing roll to provide an embossed metal foil or laminate sheet having a pleasing design set forth therein by means of various areas of lenticular or parallel lines interspersed with areas of frost-like appearance.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel method to provide novel engraved rolls adapted to emboss areas of lenticular or parallel lines interspersed with areas of frost-like or grainy appearance.
These and other objects of this invention will become apparent upon reading the following descriptive disclosure.
The figure of the drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating the successive steps of the invention.
According to this invention, the original artists color presentation is prepared in the conventional manner. A transparent overlay is prepared in the conventional manice ner with various areas of parallel transparent line overlays or decalcomania, said lines being relatively broad and evenly spaced and having a density of from about 40 to about lines per inch are arranged in a pleasing manner to form for example, a scene having a sky, several trees, houses and so forth. The sky having horizontal lines, the clouds having curved lines, the trees having vertical lines, the roofs having diagonal lines, etc. After all the areas of lines are in position we have the equivalent of a black and white drawing. This drawing is photographed in the conventional manner to produce a negative and in the event that more than one duplicate scene is required for the roll, the primary negative is photo composed to Whatever number is required.
As seen in the drawing, the photo-composed film is then used in the conventional way to photo-engrave the lines to an acid etched depth of from .002 to .005 inch into a conventional metal production cylinder. At this point the area borders or joinings of the lines would be crude and hence would not pleasingly blend together. The photo-engraved roll is now solidly coated with an acid resist and excess resist is then doctored off in such a manner that all of the etched line cavities remain filled with resist and the unetched portions of the roll appear as clean and bright metal. The roll is then sprayed with a. turpentine or similar soluble acid resist so that the bright metal portions now have a misty appearance. By varying the viscosity of the turpentine or similar soluble resist, the spray pressure and the nozzle openings various density patterns of this mist may be obtained. The roll is then etched a time interval necessary to obtain the desired depth effects. Surface finishes from fine satin appearance to a coarse emery appearance are easily etched in this manner.
Where two or more turpentine soluble spray etchings are necessary to produce a desired effect, the etched lines may be filled first with a methyl ethyl ketone soluble acid resist having a dilferent solvent action than that of the turpentine soluble spray mist acid resist. By so doing the spray resist may be etched, removed with turpentine without removing the ketone soluble resist, and then be resprayed and re-etched in order to give various levels of etched depth with resulting greater surface area and greater reflectivity.
In lieu of the ketone soluble resist used in combination with a turpentine soluble resist, other resist combinations of dissimilar solvency may be used in this invention.
After the top areas of the lines and other desired top areas are finished with the mist-like reflective surface, the crudeness of the joining borders of the area of the lines has disappeared and the final product is an embossing of smooth and evenly blended appearance. This roll may then be mated by conventional means to a paper filled roll or to a matching male steel roll for high speed rotary production. The finished embossed foil produced by the roll or rolls of this invention have the raised portion of all lines smooth and shiny, whereas the indent portions of the lines have an emery or mist-like reflection. Because of the arrangement of the lines of the various areas, the various angles of perception of the viewer causes an apparent movement within the pattern of smoothly and pleasingly blended lined areas.
I claim: 1. The method of producing a lenticular embossing roll for use on a rotary press comprising the steps of: (a) etching a steel roll and producing first design areas having different reflective angles by means of relatively broad, parallel lines at a depth from .002 to .005 inch;
(b) coating said roll and filling said etched lines with a first acid resist of the class soluble in methylethyl ketone, acetone and toluol;
(c) mechanically removing said first acid resist only from the surface of said roll and exposing the metal between said etched lines and permitting said first acid resist to remain only in said etched lines;
(d) mist-spraying said exposed metal at least once with a second acid resist of the class soluble in turpentine;
(e) acid etching said roll and producing mist-like second areas;
(f) removing said second acid resist at least once without disturbing said first acid resist; and
(g) removing said first acid resist whereby the roll has an engraved surface for producing lenticular embossings in which adjacent design areas merge smoothly and pleasuringly to the eye and mist-like reflective areas are provided on top surfaces between adjacent parallel lines.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 in which said parallel lines are produced in a density from 40 to 80 lines per inch. 7
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 including the step of removing and reapplying said second acid resist 5 more than once.

On the eighth day of the U.S. government shutdown, with no clear resolution in sight, the U.S. Department of State was still planning on hosting a 450-attendee conference in Durban, South Africa, the following Monday, Oct. 14 — on what would be the 14th day of the shutdown. But no one could say with 100-percent certainty that it would actually go off.
"What we're finding on the government side is everything is changing by the day, and it's really contract by contract," said Leslie Thornton, president of Washington, D.C.-based Courtesy Associates, which works extensively with government clients, including the State Department on this conference. "It's agency-specific, and each agency is different."
That was life in the meetings industry as the effects of the shutdown rippled through the government sector, spilling over into the association market, and trickling throughout travel and hospitality. Meeting professionals who over the last year and a half dealt with fallout from the GSA conference spending scandal, federal sequestration, and across-the-board cuts in government travel spending now were dealing with the ultimate cut: everything. The shutdown ended on Oct. 16, but for the two weeks leading up to that, events across a variety of industries were being canceled or postponed, or dealing with no-show speakers and attendees from the federal government. Government-owned venues were shuttered, forcing groups to look for alternative sites at the last minute.
Courtesy's team lead for the State Department conference, whose attendees would come primarily from Africa, left for Durban on Wednesday, Oct. 2, the day after the shutdown began. The lead was followed by two more team members that Sunday; two others were to leave over the next several days. "What we've heard along the way," Thornton said, "is that some small parts of the meeting that were to be attended by [Health & Human Services], Peace Corps, and [Department of Defense] folks, if the government doesn't open, they won't be part of that. That would be about 30 percent of their attendance."
On a certain level that meant proceeding as normal — for the first week, Courtesy's client assured the company that funding for the conference was secure. But on Tuesday night, Oct. 8 — just hours after Convene talked to Thornton — the client made the decision to cancel.
Courtesy had plenty of company. According to a Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) member survey released on Oct. 11, 57 percent of respondents had canceled meetings or business opportunities, and 50 percent canceled bookings. The U.S. Travel Association tallied the total cost of the shutdown in lost travel-related revenue at $2.2 billion.
Within the government, the Federal Depository Library Program's 2013 Depository Library Council Meeting and Federal Depository Library Conference, scheduled for Oct. 21-23 at the U.S. Government Printing Office's historic headquarters building in Washington, was tentatively moved to the spring, while the National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) Users Meeting, slated for the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., on Oct. 2-3, was put off indefinitely. In the private sector, the 2013 Symantec Government Symposium — which describes itself as "the largest annual public sector focused gathering of the leading global IT thought leaders from government, academia, and industry" — was shifted from Oct. 2 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center to March 11, 2014, at the Renaissance Hotel Washington DC. And in the association market, the Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association canceled its Fall Intelligence Symposium, scheduled for Oct. 2 at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Springfield, Va., while the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation postponed its GEOINT 2013 Symposium from Oct. 13-16 at the Tampa Convention Center until spring.
One meeting with a significant government component that went ahead despite the shutdown was The Regulatory Convergence, hosted by the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston on Sept. 28- Oct. 2 — meaning it was halfway over when the shutdown kicked in. As a result, several speakers and attendees from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were unable to participate. "As soon as the rumor started of the shutdown, we were very proactive trying to move sessions around," said Marie Fredlake, a D.C.-based global conference manager with Conference Direct, who handled logistics for The Regulatory Conference. "It wasn't until early on Tuesday, Oct. 1, that we officially found out who was 'essential' and who wasn't."
Fredlake and her team got some of the speakers who couldn't make it to prerecord their presentations and then call in during Q&A, and worked with the other speakers in those sessions to cover any holes in the program. Still, RAPS ended up canceling three sessions. "Attendees were extremely disappointed," Fredlake said, "because a lot of them attend to hear the FDA updates and research. Some come solely for the FDA content of our program."
Transparency and communication have been key parts of the meeting community's response to the shutdown — with employees, clients, and attendees. "We've made an increased effort to communicate to [attendees]," Thornton said, "to say, 'Look, we've got these 20 [government] people hanging in the balance. We don't know if they're going to be here. If those are the 20 people you were coming to see, let's see how we can get you connected to them after the fact.'"
Likewise, "We have a contingency plan to record the canceled sessions after the government reopens," Fredlake said, "which I hope is soon, but there is no way to tell. In the meantime, our attendees suffer from not having this education to improve and advance their organizations and companies."
Thornton thinks the fallout ultimately could be much worse. "It's painful from the top down," she said. "You've got hotels that are going to be hurting without these government meetings, and that translates into employees being laid off. Most importantly, it's this continued perception that government business is bad and that it's risky and it's not desirable because you just never know."

About Us
Columbus Behavioral Center for Children and Adolescents provides a safe and therapeutic environment for males and females ages 8 to 18 to focus on individualized treatment goals that address their histories of multiple acute-care hospitalizations, substance abuse problems, or repeated behavioral health concerns.
With a family-centered approach, our programs offer intensive therapy and resident-focused programming in a warm, caring and supportive environment. Our trained professionals work with the resident, family and community partners to promote a therapeutic transition back into the home or, if necessary, an additional appropriate level of care.
Residents are able to work through the program by demonstrating appropriate behaviors, processing their psychological issues through therapy, and learning to deal effectively with their emotions. The program typically lasts from three to nine months depending on the willingness of the resident and family to participate in treatment and the resident's ability to make life changes; however, shorter lengths of stay have become more prevalent.

How to implement the Retina display in Application?

It's mostly taken care of for you. Anytime you use the default UIKit views, you'll automatically get a retina version. Text is also always rendered at retina resolution. And if you create a custom UIView and override
Largely the only thing you have to do that's special is that if you use PNG or JPEG graphics, you should supply a double-resolution version with a "@2x" at the end of the name. So, for example in the "AudioRecorderPlayer" example where we have a 60x60
See points versus pixels in Apple's online docs.

Lindsay Lohan has a lucky star following her around. Yesterday, Lindsay was sentenced to 30 days of jail for violating her probation. The L.A. County Sheriff's Office said she would end up serving only six days — or 20 percent — of that sentence and would have to adhere to a very strict probation schedule set down by Judge Stephanie Sautner.
Now, it seems that Lindsay will end up spending only a few minutes in the clink. TMZ reports that officials from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department have stated that any individual who is charged with a misdemeanor sentence up to 90 days will be processed but then released almost immediately because of jail overcrowding. Technically, 90-day sentencees have to be incarcerated for 20 percent of their sentence, but the officials have clarified that a federal law dealing with the issue of overcrowding "trumps everything." Therefore, as the official explained, "She'll be out without even having to change her clothes."
The only reason Lindz will spend any extra time in jail — possibly overnight — is because of a vast number of people being processed at the same time, which will slow the system down. This begs a question though. Why would the judge sentence Lindsay to 30 days if she knew that she would get out immediately? Well, she didn't know. L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca stated on Good Day L.A yesterday that there was space in his jail, making our head spin. Either way, it's a win for Lindsay.

NFL: Detroit Lions leave it late, seeing off Philadelphia Eagles in overtime on the road
The Detroit Lions scored 17 points in the fourth quarter before seeing off the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime.
Last Updated: 15/10/12 9:54am
Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime and the Lions scored 17 points in the final period, Stafford throwing a scoring pass and also running for a score. He finished with 311 yards passing, one TD and one interception.
The comeback prevented the Lions (2-3) from a 1-4 start a year after opening 5-0 en route to their first playoff appearance since 1999. The Eagles (3-3) head into their bye week with two straight losses.
Down 23-13 after Michael Vick's 70-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Jeremy Maclin down the middle of the field with 5:18 left, the Lions answered.
Hanson had already kicked a 19-yard field goal to tie the scores in the closing seconds of regulation before stepping up to slot over the game-winner from 45 yards out.
Calvin Johnson had 135 yards receiving, but the wide receiver still has no TD catches this season. He was called for offensive pass interference to negate his 11-yard TD grab in the fourth quarter.
Vick shook off a poor start and the offense finally got going late in the second quarter. He completed four straight passes at one point for 48 yards, including a 17-yarder to Maclin on third-and-10. He hit LeSean McCoy on a two-yard pass to put Philadelphia up 7-6.
The Eagles increased their lead on Alex Henery's 26-yard field goal on the first series of the second half before he was also on target from 32 and 49 yards to push Philadelphia into a 16-6 lead, their biggest of the season.
Vick's streak of three straight games without getting intercepted ended when his wildly overthrown pass to Jason Avant was picked off by Louis Delmas in the second quarter. He finished with 311 yards passing with two TDs and two interceptions.

First, I want to thank Megan McLaughlin and Elizabeth Schultz, the only two School Board Members who sought to give voice to Fairfax County in front of the Virginia Board of Education.
On April 10, Megan McLaughlin (Braddock) and Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield), Democratic and Republican endorsed respectively, sought to move two school hours from June 25 to June 23 making that Monday a full instructional day for elementary students and saving Fairfax County $300,000 in fuel costs by making Tuesday, June 24 the final school day.
All instruction and testing will be completed well before June 25. The expense now is only necessary for compliance with a bureaucratic rule. The School Board may formally request a waiver from the rule.
How productive can this time be for students on June 25? As you know, the first and last hour of work are typically the least productive as you settle in and then prepare to leave. No students will stare at the clock counting seconds before summer break. Not in Fairfax County, right? Adding two hours to the shortened Monday schedule would have been more effective time management as well as money management.
Speaking of money, have you heard? Fairfax County Public Schools does not have funds to waste. With our priorities, we never have money to waste. In fact, as you likely know, we are expecting a $21 million reduction in support from Richmond while increasing our student population by over 3,000 new students at an increased cost of over $25 million.
The request for a waiver from the Virginia Board of Education allowing Fairfax County Public Schools to invest time and funds more wisely would have cost us nothing and saved us $300,000 at least. When pinching pennies, every piece helps.
School Board members Moon, McElveen, Velkoff, Strauss, Hynes, Derenak Kaufax, Evans, Storck, Reed, and Smith each voted to deny Fairfax County a voice to make the reasonable request.
If they will not use the platform we provide and advocate our community's best interests, why should they be trusted with our voice or our vote?
I remain curious what actions would have been taken by Chris Braunlich, President of Virginia Board of Education, former Fairfax County School Board Member and vice president of the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy where he promotes free markets, limited government and individual responsibility, if asked to help Fairfax County better manage our time and $300,000 from taxpayers by granting the waiver.
The irony, of course, now June 25, 2014 is another day Fairfax County students cannot run off to spend money supporting Virginia's tourism industry at King's Dominion unless their families skip the last non-curriculum school day and further undermine the argument for wasting $300,000 in fuel costs. Thank you.
Will Radle, Fairfax County

On-Set Footage! Glee Cast Films Performance Scene in Central Park
New York, New York! We've got big city fever following the Glee kids around the Big Apple as they film the final episodes of Season 2. Who's messing up? Who's not singing their lines? Who's not wheeling fast enough? OK, that last one was easy. But it's definitely a rare glimpse inside all the work (and people) it takes to make this hit show.

Treating rusty metal
I'm selling an 80's pearl wood-fibreglass kit - with it there is an old metal snare. I have got the snare sounding great with new heads and now I want to improve the way it looks.
It is completely rusty - i don't know what metal it is. Has anyone had any experiences of removing rust from a drum which is almost covered in it? I'd like to restore it if possible..
Re: Treating rusty metal
Crumpled aluminium foil and some water works wonders to remove rust from chrome, so I would try that first.

A tough film to sit through, Brothers is a powerful drama that stays with you long after it ends. My appreciation for this film only increased as I thought more and more about its messages and meaning. Based on a Danish film from 2004, Brødre, this intense story revolves around two brothers. At the beginning of the film, one son, Tommy, just is released from prison. He, naturally, is the black sheep of the family. The "favorite" son, Sam, is soon to be heading off to Afghanistan for another tour of duty. While in the Middle East, Sam is presumed dead in a helicopter accident. This family, naturally, makes do the best they can to pick up the pieces and Tommy really steps up and helps out Sam's wife and daughters. The daughters, in particular, become very attached to Tommy. Sam's wife, Grace, borders precariously on some romantic feelings for her brother-in-law, though nothing is ever shared between them but a kiss. So, director Jim Sheridan (In America, My Left Foot) melds these images of sadness and sorrow with Sam in Afghanistan, alive and taken prisoner. Then, Sam comes home. He comes home a different man entirely. He simply cannot "kick" the images and bloodshed from his head…he can not get past what he had to do to survive. His daughters are now afraid of the "new" Sam and want their Uncle Tommy. Even his wife sees her resurrected husband as a stranger. The climatic ending still causes a chill down my spine just thinking about it. Brothers is not only an underrated film that is a must see, but it also is filled with dynamite performances by all of the major players. An excellent, yet disturbing film.

This movie got panned in the theatrical release reviews. But, it is a good film. Not the best about families and how family situations change as time goes by, but it's a strong movie that's worth while seeing…ESPECIALLY if you are a parent or have middle-aged to older parents. One of the reasons this film has a soft spot for me is that the De Niro character reminded me of my father. Approximately the same age, both my dad and the De Niro character are sorts of aimless, lost men. De Niro's reasoning behind this aimlessness is that he is recently widowed. My father's is just that he likes to be aimless (my mother is still very much alive). Now back to the movie…the De Niro character, after having all four of his grown children cop out on coming to visit him for a family reunion of sorts, he decides to go to them instead. What lies ahead of him is an odyssey he never anticipated. No, it's not a GREAT movie. But, over-all, it's a tender movie with lots of heart.
As an Anglophile, I guess my most deep, dark fantasy (no, NOT that kind) is that I will find out that I was switched at birth…and that my real parents are British! Trust me…this is not an insult to my American parents. They would be MORE than happy to trade me to an unsuspecting couple across the pond. But, alas, my fantasy is just that…fiction. Well, in this novel, the first by stand-up comedienne/actress Alison Larkin, the main character, Pippa, is raised by British adoptive parents in England but finds out that her biological parents are truly American. This immediately makes sense to Pippa, since she's always considered herself something of an American-phile but most importantly, she is NOTHING like most the British people around her. This information propels Pippa on a quest to find her true identity and the reasons for all of her non-British idiosyncrasies. Larkin, herself, is a biological American and adoptive Brit, so the story resonates very true. Larkin's writing style is sharp and witty and Pippa is a truly engaging and highly enjoyable character. We want her to be happy…whether in America or England. For me, I will just keep searching for that one day when I find my true parents…and I'm able to go home where I belong…England! Sorry mom and dad.
Created by author Henning Mankell, Kurt Wallander is not your typical police detective. He's dirty, he smells, he's a bad family man, he's practically suicidal at times…and he looks awful all the time. But, he is good at what he does…it is by far what he does best…solve crimes. The crimes nag at him, infest his person, enter his soul and will not leave until they are solved. To say he takes things personally is a true understatement. Sure, Frost and Morse are both grumpy, unkempt at times and lacking in social skills, but compared to Wallander, Morse/Frost would be your favorite cuddly grandpa. And, these BBC/PBS productions are so skillfully done, they really get into the mind of Wallander. We can almost feel his pain and his angst. We are right along with this daughter as she pleads with him to eat and sleep. Branagh is perfectly cast as Wallander…he is not afraid, here, to let anything show…he is completely exposed. Most actors wouldn't be able to do this…even if they could. The stories are your average crime fare. What makes the series as great as it is is the character Wallander and Branagh's portrayal.
When a father tries to force early success on his musical prodigy child, he soon realizes what his child needs most is his love. On its own, the storyline provides meaningful and poignant scenes and makes a heartwarming film. Weave the use of music into the mix and the film becomes even more powerful and stunning. But, at the true heart of this film is the relationship between the old man and the child. This film proves that no matter how high of expectations we set for our children, we never stop loving them even if they don't achieve all that is expected. A meaningful film for anyone who at one time was someone's child—meaning a film for all.
A charming, sweet film about a father who runs a bathhouse in Beijing and his two sons, one mentally handicapped and the other, Da, a stoic businessman. The movie revolves around Da's coming to terms with his father's ill health and his brother's dependence on their father. Da had moved away years ago and not even bothered to introduce his father and brother to his new wife. His character's transformation in this film is the highlight, even though it is a subtle, unassuming transition from detached to loving son. I'm not big on foreign films yet this film is so special that I watch it often. It's a beautiful story of compassion, acceptance and emotion. It is a timeless tale about a man who comes of age a little later than most to open his heart to his family.
Right off the top, let me just say I know little to nothing about math. And even though the main characters in this film are math geniuses, my lack of knowledge did not hinder me from liking this film. Math is only the background…the basis of this film, not the plot. In a nutshell, it's a story of a daughter who just lost her father. Add to that the father was a math genius…but also insane (later in life). Add that the daughter is also a math prodigy and fears following her father's footsteps down the path of mental illness. Yes, it's a heavy subject but the film moves along pretty quickly through all of it…no, it's not a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat film but what film about math geniuses is? Based on a successful stage play, this is a drama…a dark drama about family relationships and personal soul-searching. The stand out thing about Proof is Gwyneth Paltrow's performance. To me, this is by far her best acting work. She is emotional without being too over the top and she's sorrowful without being too sappy. There are several scenes where there are intense close-ups of her face…and just through the look in her eyes and her facial expression, she tells the audience everything we need to know about her character's state of mind at that very second. A very powerful performance to top off a strong and meaningful film.
Based on a novel by one of my favorite contemporary authors, Richard Russo, this film is a small, unsung gem…just like the book. Telling the story of Sully, an aged laborer rural New York State who, between his quirky friends and bad health, is not having an easy time of it at late. Russo excels in stories like this…about small towns and small heroes who don't do the big, grandiose things to get noticed…they do the little things that usually do not come with any form of notoriety…or even appreciation. They are the fathers and sons of the Everyman…and Newman is always your perfect Everyman…even here, in the twilight of his years. Quirky and slow in parts, this film, like the novel and Russo's other novels, unveils itself slowly and cautiously. But, the unveiling process is a great ride!
I think right off the bat this film gets a bad rap since it's unfortunately grouped with the recent films about the Iraq War. That's unfair, in my opinion, since this is a strong, edgy thriller that deserves to be seen as a THRILLER and not necessarily as an anti-war statement. Tommy Lee Jones plays a father who, at the start of the film, finds out his son, recently back from the war in the Middle East, is missing. Yes, much of the film does deal with the war, since Jones has to find out what happened to his son while he was over there and if it is at all connected to his disappearance. But, most of the story just has Jones searching for the truth and finding bits and pieces of facts and fictions and putting them together to get some answers. Yes, the story has holes, but based how badly this film was received, it was MUCH better than I thought it would be. So, ignore the propaganda – and just enjoy the movie.
The Heiress is a magnificent film that defies 1940s Hollywood logic…the woman and man do not walk into the sunset hand-in-hand. Actually, what is even more defiant for a film of this era is a woman having power over a man. Yes, 1940s were the days of the powerful woman in Hollywood: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, etc. But, the films those women were in were mostly about tough ladies who needed the love of a good man to set them straight. The Heiress is nothing like that. The film begins by setting the stage that shy, naïve Catherine Sloper (Olivia de Havilland), the wealthy daughter of a stern New England doctor, played beautifully by Sir Ralph Richardson, will probably never marry. Catherine is plain, timid, and lacks what, as her father claims, men look for in future wives…aside, of course, from her money. Enter Montgomery Clift's Morris Townsend, who takes a liking to Catherine but her father disapproves and believes Townsend is just an opportunist. By now I'm sure you're wondering where the "powerful" woman enters the picture. Well, Catherine learns quite a few life lessons over the course of the film and in the end she is a strong, confident woman who knows exactly what she wants and doesn't want. Even though George Cukor was known in Hollywood circles as being the best "ladies director," I feel that director William Wyler gives Cukor tough competition here and with some of his other movies (Roman Holiday, Mrs. Miniver, Jezebel, Funny Girl , etc.). This film is a tour de force for de Havilland (she won the Oscar), but Wyler's brave direction increases both the power of Catherine and the tone of the whole film.

According to Europe's biggest selling newspaper we can expect to see the glasses-less wonder hitting our shores next Spring, and for now that's all we needed to hear.
According to German newspaper 'Bild' the Nintendo 3DS will be arriving in the UK next Spring 2011.
The glasses-less 3D handheld has already received generally positive reviews and will be arriving in Japan on November 11. Of course this is all going to be confirmed in a couple of days when Nintendo makes an official announcement about the release date.
The handheld has made such a stir thanks to it's 3D screen which doesn't require glasses, unlike the majority of 3D technology on the market, keeping it completely portable.
No word on price yet but our best bet would be they will be aiming to keep it just above the current DS, continuing the Nintendo tradition of selling something 'intuitive' but not at a wallet busting price.
Looking forward to the latest piece of wizardry from Nintendo? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.

First Buckle Buddies Partner School Celebration
EVENT: The Buckle Buddies child passenger safety program is recognizing its first Partner School. A.C. Moore Elementary School has partnered with Buckle Buddies to work with its School Resource Officers, parents, faculty and students to improve child passenger safety. The designation will be commemorated at a school-wide celebration.
"We're pleased that A.C. Moore has done so well at introducing the Buckle Buddies program to the staff, students and parents. The students have truly taken ownership of their safety. We're seeing a 15 to 20 percent increase in children being properly buckled up when arriving at school and when heading home," said Deputy Melissa Webster of the Richland County Sheriff's Department.
Buckle Buddies, a program led by Palmetto Health Children's Hospital and funded by Kohl's Cares, works with law enforcement, schools and community partners to educate families about child passenger safety.
According to DHEC statistics, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury for children over one year of age. When properly installed, child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers. Seat belt usage increases the chances for surviving a crash by nearly 45 percent.
In South Carolina, up to 95 percent of child safety seats are not installed or used correctly. Buckle Buddies provides education and assistance with proper use of car seats, as well as new and safe car seats at a discounted cost through Palmetto Health Richland and Palmetto Health Baptist. For more information, visit BuckleBuddiesSC.org.
WHEN: Wednesday, May 15
TIME: 9:30 a.m.

Lego keyboard stickers for Mac makes you keyboard geeky and comfortable
If you read SlashGear you know we are, suckers for stuff made from Lego building blocks. One of my favorite Lego gadgets was the robot that could solve the Rubik's Cube using a Motorola Droid. I have also seen some geeks take Lego blocks and use them for keys on their keyboard, but that would be uncomfortable.

Sleepy trucker tips big rig over
By Ana Ley : August 15, 2012 : Updated: August 15, 2012 9:58am
San Antonio police investigate the scene at Fischer road and Interstate 35 northbound where a big rig hauling shrink wrap listed over on its side Wednesday August 15, 2012 at about 6:30 a.m. after a woman driving the rig took a brief nap. After waking up, the driver attempted to get back on the road and the truck tipped over on its side. The woman suffered a minor injury to her head and traffic in the area was not affected. John Davenport/2012 San Antonio Express-News
A trucker accidentally tipped her big rig over next to Interstate 35 this morning.
Police at the scene said she'd just woken from a nap in a grassy area by the side of the freeway near Fischer Road on the southwestern edge of the city about 6:30 a.m. when she tried driving away.
As she re-entered the frontage road, the truck tipped over on its right side.
The driver, in her early 50s, walked away with only a minor head injury. No one else was inside the truck.
Officers shut down the rightmost lane of the northbound frontage road while a tow truck removed the big rig.

I believe that remission of sins as spoken of in Acts 2:38, Hebrews 9:22, and other verses refers to remission as when a cancer goes into remission. I believe this through meditation (as in Psalm 1) on 1 John 1:8 and its surrounding context.
Your thoughts?

On one side it's normal, and on the other there is almost nothing.
I pumped after nursing today, and had 1/8 of an ounce, and the other side 2 ounces.
With #1, & #4 I tried a lactation aid ''vitamin'' each time a different company, and both times they dried me, and I got back my period from it. The only thing that helped a bit was Fenugreek in a high dose. I ended up nursing till 12- 18 months on one side and the other till 2-5 months. I would love to nurse longer on this side, to avoid the discomfort of only one side, and that my breasts are then 2 extreme sizes.
What else can I try? Beer pills for nursing? I don't want combination things, since I was burnt from it twice already. Would homeopathy work? I never thought of it before.
Thanks in advance for any advice. It will be much appreciated.

I would do fenugreek again if that worked for you last time. Oatmeal and brewer's yeast always worked well for me when I was trying to increase supply too. Best thing though was using supply and demand to my advantage, making sure DD nursed from the lower supply side and making sure to pump it as much or more than the high producing side. Maybe you can pump your low producing side sometimes while she nurses at the other side?
Katie - Married to Mike 06/02/01, Mom to Sydney Anne born 11/21/09 and Alice Maeryn & Oliver Thomas born 04/24/13
I had success with Mother's Milk tea when I needed a supply boost (then I almost had too much!). I do have the "uni-boob" effect going on now but DD is 17mos. I think somewhere around 9mos my right side began to decline, and whiel it still produces some, most of her feedings come from the left side. I thought it was bc during the night when delusionally tired I always seemed to have her start on the left side first and that the right didn't get the same stimulation and called it quits. I did try for a while starting her on the right but it never made a difference.
I also have a breast that is much less productive and is much smaller (only till babe is about 12 months, then they even out a bit in size, not supply). I try to remember to use that side first every nursing session and you can try mothers milk tea to boost you overall supply.... be careful to make sure babe empties the bigger side too though....I have had clogged ducts from focusing too much on the smaller side.
SAHM to Chloe«- 6/2008 (10 lbs, 5 oz), Hannah- 9/2010 (9 lbs, 12 oz), Liam- 2/2013 (9 lbs, 6 oz)
I now have some clogged ducts on my right- low supply side,and it's really painful. I always start nursing with this side first. I did try the Mother's Milk Tea with 2 of my children, but don't know if I did enough of it.
I tried now with nursing football position in addition to cradle, so will do that the next few days on my right.
My doctor sent a referral to the nursing clinic here, and we'll see how long it takes them to get back to me. (The clinic would be under medicare here, and no charge, and they have an amazing consultant there. I did take private once, but it was expensive.) I tried massaging my ducts a bit, but it's really painful.
I do pump, not at every feeding, because it's too much. By my second, I pumped after each feeding, but don't have the time, or patience now for that.
How much Brewer's yeast is needed?
I really appreciate everyone's advice.Thanks so much!!!

The joint venture has the responsibility of selling brands such as Miller Lite, Miller High Life, Miller Genuine Draft, Coors, Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Leinenkugel's, Crispin Hard Cider Company, and Blue Moon in the United States, with the purpose of combining all of their US brewing operations to better compete against Anheuser-Busch InBev. The company is also tasked with brewing brands of beer and lager that are owned by Pabst Brewing Company.
MillerCoors brews, markets and sells the MillerCoors portfolio of brands in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. MillerCoors is the second-largest beer company in America, capturing nearly 30 percent of U.S. beer sales. Led by two of the best-selling beers in the industry, Coors Light and Miller Lite, MillerCoors has a broad portfolio of brands across every major industry segment. The company offers a variety of craft and import brands, including Blue Moon and Leinenkugel's, through its Tenth and Blake division. MillerCoors operates eight major breweries in the U.S., as well as the Leinenkugel's craft brewery in Chippewa Falls, WI, and two microbreweries, the 10th Street Brewery in Milwaukee and the Blue Moon Brewing Company at Coors Field in Denver.
The company describes its business philosophy as "building its brands the right way through brewing quality, responsible marketing and environmental and community impact."[1]
Pete Coors is the chairman and Tom Long is Chief Executive Officer.[2]
U.S. antitrust regulators approved the joint venture on June 5, 2008. The venture was completed on June 30, 2008 and MillerCoors began operation as a combined entity on July 1, 2008.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool are in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for Germany Under-21 midfielder Emre Can.
The 20-year-old has a £10m release clause in his contract and Liverpool have indicated they are willing to meet that figure.
The deal had appeared to stall over the weekend because of the player's personal terms.
But talks are progressing more smoothly now and all parties are hopeful a deal can be concluded in the coming week.
Can, who is also eligible for Turkey, joined Leverkusen from Bayern Munich last summer in a deal worth £4m.
He impressed Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers with a series of combative performances that helped Leverkusen finish fourth in the Bundesliga and reach next season's Champions League.
The Frankfurt-born player prefers to play in central midfield but can also operate in defence.

Cell phone customers will get warnings when they are about to go over their monthly limits on cell phone calls and texts under an agreement to be announced Monday by the The Federal Communications Commission and major wireless carriers, the Washington Post reported Saturday.
The Post cites "two people familiar with the plan" as saying the program is led by industry and will tell consumers when they are reaching their monthly limits as well as when they are about to be charged international roaming fees. Consumer groups have long complained that customers can rack up thousands of dollars in bills without knowing it.
The FCC and the wireless trade group CTIA are expected to announce that the voluntary program will include cellphone carriers serving 97 percent of U.S. users. The FCC did not comment, the Post said. FCC chairman Julius Genachowski had been working on his own proposal for getting carriers to caution their customers about fees.

Fire heavily damages Durham home
Aug. 16, 2014 @ 08:53 AM
Fire destroyed the second floor of a two-story house in eastern Durham early Saturday morning, fire officials said. A firefighter was hurt.
Firefighters were called at 3 a.m. to the home at 228 Newberry Lane, off Wake Forest Highway, and saw thick flames from the roof and rear, Deputy Chief Chris Iannuzzi of the Durham Fire Department said.
No one was home, and the residents are believed to be out of town, he said.
In addition to the second floor destruction, there was severe smoke and water damage to the first floor.
Iannuzzi said a firefighter injured his foot and was being evaluated.
A fire investigator was trying to pinpoint the fire's cause Saturday.
