INK DROP CHARGE COMPENSATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INK DROP PRINTER CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS Non-sequential Ink Jet Printing Ser. No. 325,494, filed Jan. 22, 1973, related to the matrix scanning order described in this application.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an ink drop printing aparatus and more particularly to improved apparatus for producing'more accurate drop deflection and placement on a print medium.
In the prior art it has been known to utilize selectively charged ink drops to print characters. One problem which arises in this type of printer is distortion in the printed characters due to interaction between drops. To correct this distortion there has been tried in the past the use of so-called guard drops in which at least one uncharged drop is placed between eachof the charged drops. This technique iseffective to a'certain extent, but the technique has the disadvantage that the printing process is slowed due to the unavailability of the uncharged drops for printing operations. Another technique which has been used in the prior art is to compensate the charge applied to a drop being formed based on a determination that the previous drop has been charged. This technique has the advantage that all drops are available for printing. However, this technique does not completely eliminate the distortion problem due to drop-to-drop interactions, particularly at high printing rates encountered in a line printer operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore the principle object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus wherein all drops can be used for printing accurately formed characters at high printing rates.
It is another object of this invention to provide an improved method and apparatus wherein the charge voltage for each drop is compensated for both previously charged drops and the charge to be placed on drops to be formed.
Briefly, according to the invention there is provided an ink drop printer in which ink drops are charged according to an information signal and deflected for proper placement on'the print medium to produce the designated character. The appropriate charge voltage for each drop is generated by algebraically combining a positional signal defining a particular drop placement position, a signal generated in response to the charge placed on a predetermined number of previously formed drops and a signal derived from the charge to be placed on a selected number of drops to be formed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown an ink drop print? ing apparatus in accordance with the invention. This apparatus has an ink pressure system 10 suitably connected so that ink is driven through a plurality of nozzles 11 at high pressure to form a plurality of jets 12 each of which is controllable to print character's intwo adjacent print positions in the print line. An' electromechanical transducer 14 is provided and signal source 15 is utilized to energize transducer 14 to vibrate the jet systems so that the jets break up in synchronism with the impressed vibration to form a series of uniform spaced ink drops 16. As each ink drop 16 is being formed, a charge electrode 18 in the vicinity of the jet stream can be used to induce a charge on that drop. When breakoff of the drop occurs, the charge is trapped so that the drop is subject to the action of a subsequent electrostatic field. Charging of each drop is accomplished by the instantaneous value of the voltage produced at the instant of drop breakoff by control means 20. After charging, the drop is deflected by a fixed electrostatic field produced by deflection means 22 when energized by a suitable high voltage source 24. The amount of deflection produced by the electrostatic field is proportional to the amount of charge that has been induced by the charging electrode on the drop so that a control exists as to where a droplet may be placed on print medium 26. The electrostatic field is operable to produce a one-dimensional line scan to form line sections of a character and the transverse motion of the print medium 26 produces another dimension so that repeated line scans can generate a total character. In printing, many areas do not receive ink drops and unwanted drops are deflected by a suitable charge so that they enter into sump means 28 for recirculation within the ink system.
Thus, without correction the voltage V applied to the charge electrode is determined by the position to which the drop is to be deflected. However, in the present invention the voltage V is calculated as before, but before being applied to the charge electrode is modified based on whether or not the surrounding drops have been charged.
A general equation for drop deflection correction can be written as follows:
a n m mn V V+ (1) V =Nominal voltage to deflect to position X with no other drops deflected; C 0, l, to represent the logical condition of surrounding drop deflections; B,,,,, the Mth correction term for drop N. This equation would be used directly if one was implementing a read only memory (ROM) correction scheme. In this case the C would be made mutually exclusive (only one could exist) and the value B would be stored at location (n, C =1). This would be a total unreduced approach, i.e.,'while many of the B,,,,, might be equal, there is no, attempt to utilize this fact.
.The economy of ROMs is utilized in this case.
In the simplest implementation, signals proportional to V,, and fixed values can be added to orsubtracted from V,, to yield the charge voltage. This technique yields a corrected signal V, of the form:
c n -1) -i n -1) -2) n +(C+2) (A+2 B+2)- Where v C, 0, 1 digital value Bit X;
' A, the proportional correction;
B, the fixed correction.
The first requirement for developing a specific correction is that a sequential matrix scanning order be defined whichidentifies for each clock period the position to which a drop will go if deflected. Table 1 gives this sequence both in position number (ascending. order from the sump) and the nominal charge electrode voltage for a particular matrix scanning order chosen for purposes of example.
TABLE 1 Nominal Clock Period Matrix Position Charge Volts l 42 1 I6 I32 2 9 90 3 24 I80 4 2 48 5 I7 I38 6 I0 96 7 25 186 8 3 54 9 I8 144 l0 I1 102 ll 26 I92 12 4 6O l3 I9 I50 I4 I2 I08 15 27 198 I6 5 66 I7 I56 l8 I3 I14 19 28 204 20 6 72 21 21 I62 22 I4 I20 23 29 210 24 7 78 25 22 I68 26 I5 I26 27 2l6 28 8 84 29 23 I74 FIG. 3 shows the drop location on the paper of sequential drops according to the matrix scanning order of Table l. The matrix scanning order given for purposes of example is described in greater detail and claimed in the above-identified application Ser. No. 325,494. In this matrix scanning order, the drops issuing sequentially from nozzle 11 are never printed adjacent to one another. This placement maximizes the inflight distance between successive ink drops thereby reducing drop interaction. The total print coverage of the head shown in the specific embodiment is two character positions of 30 matrix position numbers as shown in FIG. 1. The slight misalignment in the'printing which results from the non-sequential printing can be. corrected by displacing the deflection plates 22 a sufficient angle ()5 with respect to the print line.
In conjunction with the data stream, Table l defines the charge electrode voltage for each period for the case when an isolated drop is deflected. When the data stream is a zero for the subject period, the charge electrode voltage is zero volts. When the data stream is a l for the subject period, the charge electrode voltage assumes the voltage in the table (204 volts for period 19, for example). Without correction, the data stream and the matrix scanning order is. all that is needed to define the charge electrode voltage.
However, when this is done, significant errors in drop position are encountered. These errors come from two primary sources. The first and generally largest source of erroris chargeinduction. When a dropis generated in the presence of other charged drops, its charge is a function of the charge electrode voltage and the charge on adjacent previously formed drops The magnitude of this effect is determined by several factors such as the charge electrode spacing, wave length-to-jet diameter ratio, centering in the charge electrode, etc. and FIG. 4 represents the magnitude for the matrix scanning order shown in FIG. 3. The number of drops considered for the correction is determined by the print pa rameters and the residual allowable error. Plotted in FIG. 4 is the required correction voltage to achieve the corrected charge on the drop versus the matrix position number for the drop for a'number of drops chosen to meet assumed error specifications. These correction voltages can be determined experimentally or by calculations from theoretical models of drop charging and flight interaction. These corrections are needed whether or not the drop is deflected and are linear with the affecting drops charge. The correction for the first lead (previously formed) drop and second lead drop are shown. For this matrix scanning order, the third lead drop was considered to be below the error threshold so no correction is included for this drop. The ertors are designated as Lel El and Le2 E1. The E1 identifies the error source as charge induction and Lel and Le2 refer to the first lead drop and second lead drop respectively.
The second error source is flight interaction. In flight two charged drops interact through their charges (electrostatic repulsion) and through the lead drop wake (aerodynamic drag reduction). Both of these effects cause errors in the landing position of a drop. However, in a well-chosen matrix pattern and deflection geometry, these errors can also .be corrected by charge electrode voltage modification. The correction values for these interactions are shown in FIG. 5 for the chosen matrix scanning order. These errors are designated Le4 E2, Le2 E2, Lel E2, Lal E2 and U12 E2. The E2 designates flight errors and the prefix refers to the relative drop sequence number as Le for lead drop (previously formed) and La for lag (to be formed) drop. The flight corrections are needed only when the subject drop is deflected. For the matrix scanning order given in the example (FIG. 3) and the specific drop parameters and flight geometry, correction for four lead and two lag drops are required to meet the assumed error specifications.
A general block diagram of control means according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2. A control means 32 is provided to supply signals to coordinate the transfer of data in the charge signal generating means with other circuits and components of the printing system such as head phasing, control of paper, ink pressure etc. The data to be printed is supplied by data source means 34 and the data is supplied on a serial basis to data stream means 36. Clock 'pulse generating means 38 provides a series of pulses in synchronism with ink drop formation. Clock pulse generating means 38, data stream means 36 and control circuits 32 may be provided as hard wired circuits, as a special purpose com- Puter, or by rz lx wsra l sisev a .M2229 stored in a Read Only Storage device 62. The correction provided by Read OnlyStorage device 62 corresponds to the error voltage shown in FIG. 4 for induction errors and in FIG. 5 for flight errors for thespecitied matrix position. A partial Read Only Store map is.
provided in Table II to indicate the correction stored in Read Only Store 62 for the matrix scanning order shown in FIG. 3 and the correction voltages shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The primary deflection signal and the combined correction signals are combined in adder 64 to produce a digital signal indicative of the charge to be placed on the charge electrode 18 for the drop being formed. This signal is converted to an equivalent analog signal in digital-to-analog converter 66 and this signal at terminal 68 is coupled to charge electrode 18 to produce the proper charge on the drop being formed to produce the drop deflection for the characterspecified by'the input data.

A primary deflection signal generating means 40. is provided to generate the primary deflection signal substantially as shown in Table I for the selected matrix scanning order. A first correction signal generating means 44 is provided to generate an induction correction signal on line 46 and a second correction signal generating means 42 is provided to generate flight correction signals online 48. Adder means 50 is provided to produce an algebraic sum of the primary deflection signal on line 52, the flight correction signal on line 48 and the induction correction signal on line 46. The output of adder means at terminal 54 is coupled to the charge electrode 18 to produce the proper charge on the drop being formed so that the drop is de-' flected for accurate placement on print medium 26 to produce the character specified by the input data.
An implementation of the charge signal generating means which utilizes digital circuits is shown in FIG. 6. The clock signal generating means comprises a five-bit clock counter 56. The data stream means comprises a seven-bit register 58. In the embodiment shown register 58 is a serial-in, parallel-out shiftregister which has data at all times for the last four drops formed (1 to 4), the drop being formed (0) and the next two drops to be formed (+1, +2). The primary deflection signal generator 60 produces a digital output corresponding to the deflection signal specified in Table I for the 30 counts provided by the clock counter 56 to represent the matrix positions. In this embodiment the flight correction signal generator and the induction correction s al snsratm a .wmbinsd and, th siafo matiqnis In FIG. 6 the primary deflection signal generator comprises logic circuits which transform the clock count to a binary weighted code which corresponds to the voltage values required for the primary deflection voltage. All the correction is generated by accessing the correction ROS 62. The memory address register 66 for ROS 62 utilizes address data from two sources, six bits from the data stream and the five bits from clock counter 56. At each address in ROS 62 is the correction demanded by the bit pattern from the data stream and the clock count. Based on the magnitudes of the voltages in the specific example disclosed, six bits are required to cover the total correction range and be directly scaled with the primary deflection. Table 2 shows the partial contents of ROS 62. The left hand column shows the data stream values and the second column indicates the correction segments (from FIGS. 4 and 5) that each pattern invokes. Representative matrix position values are shown which designate the correction value stored at the address designated by the clock count and the data stream. When addressed by the clock count and the data stream, the output of ROS 62 assumes a primary weighted code equal to the contents of that address. The primary deflection voltage in binary code and the correction voltage from ROS 62 are algebraically added in adder 64 to produce a binary code corresponding to the corrected voltage for charge electrode 18. These signals are applied to DAC 66 to produce an analog signal which is proportional to the required charge voltage, and this signal is applied directly to the charge electrode amplifier.
The'capacity of ROS 62 for the embodiment described above is 2,048 six-bit words. One simple variation in this control circuit is to extend the capacity of ROS 62 to 8 bits which permits the storage of both the primary deflection code and the correction code thereby eliminating the deflection code generator 60 and adder 64. A second variation of this control embodiment is to break up the correction into independent parts (segments which can be linearly summed) by adding a register to the adder and multiple access to the ROS. The corrected voltage code could be generated by summing the component corrections. In this case, the number of addressbits for the ROS would be reduced from II to 8 bits clock count, 3 pattern), but
the complexity of the circuit would be increased and the time to generate the corrected voltage would be increased as well. The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is attractive since the correction hardware can be multiplexed between many heads with an all-digital interface. On' the input side the data stream for each head is multiplexed to the data stream input and in this case the data would be entered into register 58 in parallel instead of serially. This arrangement would also require a register assigned to each head to latch up the output of the adder by latch 65 (FIG. 6) and supply the input to its DAC 67'.
The embodiment of the charge signal generating means shown in FIG. 7 hasthe same inputs to shift register 58 and the primary'deflection code generator 60 is identical. The addressing is also accomplished by clock counter 56. The primary deflection code is generated by generator 60 and coupled directly to DAC 70 to produce the primary deflection signal on line 7 1. The primary deflection signal is also coupled to the inputof lead I register 72. The lead I register 72 and lead 2 register 74 are parallel-in and parallel-out registers and these registers are clocked synchronously with the data stream and clock counter 56. The output of lead I register 72 is coupled to a second DAC 76 and to the inputs of the lead 2 register 74. The lead 2 register outputs are coupled to a third DAC 78. The contents of the lead I register and the lead 2 register are the deflection code for drops n-1 and n-2 respectively, With the appropriate gain settings on DACs 76 and 78, the DAC outputs generate the LelEl term on line79 and the Le2El term on line 80. In this embodiment, the E2 terms are generated by logically decoding each segment in FIG. 5 and gating an analog signal which approximates that segment. A segment refers to a correction which can be implemented by a term AV which is approximately equal to A+BV,,, or in other words, the correction voltage equals a constant and a term proportional to the nominal voltage. The logical AND circuits 80 combine the present bit DS(O) and the interferring conditions DS(fl) to identify the data de- 5 pendent correction terms needed. The clock is de-' coded into groups of matrix positions which correspond to the correction segments. These two sets of inputs are combined in AND circuits 82 to produce the correction logic gates. Each AND gate corresponds to one of the correction segments and is the gating signal to one of the analog gates 84. The analog gates have as their input the primary deflection term on line 71 and a DC level with the appropriate impedances toproduce the required A+l?tV, term when the gate is open. To produce the correct charge voltage, the primary deflection term, the two E1 terms and the 8 E2 terms are summed by summing amplifier 86 to produce the proper charge voltage at terminal 88.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is similar to the previous embodiments in the generation of the primary deflection signal. The primary deflection signal is coupled to DAC 90 and this signal is gated by analog gate 92 to produce the primary deflection voltage. In this manner, the nominal deflection voltage is available for use in generating the E1 correction terms- Five more. terms are required for the E1 terms and the AND gates 94 are not conditioned by DS(O). Generation of all the correction terms is now the same as the generation of the E2 terms in the previous embodiment. The primary deflection voltage and the 13 correction terms are summed in summing amplifier 96 to produce the corrected charge electrode voltage.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in the form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Pens coach Bylsma presents some new lines
Penguins/NHL Videos
Former Penguins coach Michel Therrien was frequently criticized for his insistence on constantly making line changes. Dan Bylsma doesn't make line changes as often, but he isn't afraid to shuffle his forwards.
The Penguins showcased some new lines against Ottawa, and the coach's reasons for the decision are varied.
"It's more than a gut (feeling)," Bylsma said. "There may be players who need to get more playing time."
Bylsma's decision to tinker with lines before the game is a bit of a change from his occasional altering during action. Evgeni Malkin played between Bill Guerin and Chris Kunitz much of the night, while Crosby centered Ruslan Fedotenko and Pascal Dupuis, who often flank Malkin.
» Legendary Russian goalie Vladislav Tretiak, who was famously pulled after the first period in the "Miracle on Ice" in the 1980 Olympics, made a rare appearance at Mellon Arena on Wednesday. He is the general manager of the Russian Olympic team and was in town to speak with Malkin and Sergei Gonchar about the upcoming tournament.
» The Ottawa Senators peppered Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury with 24 shots in the first period, which is one shy of the all-time mark against the Penguins at home. Vancouver registered 25 shots on net in one period at Mellon Arena in 1989.
» Malkin's first-period power play goal was his first with the man advantage in 15 games.
» Mark Eaton was again held out of the Penguins lineup with a knee injury. It is believed he will miss around a week of action.
» Eric Godard was the Penguins' only healthy scratch.

How to Get a Boyfriend
A lot of misleading information out there often gives women the wrong idea on how to get a boyfriend. Like it or not, we're bombarded with advice which causes us to behave in ways which are actually very unattractive.
For instance, women are hounded by the fear of not conforming to the typical standard of beauty often seen in TV shows, magazines or other forms of popular media.
Thus, we're driven to believe that we can be attractive by prioritizing external things instead of focusing on what's really important.
The truth is, you can't look at irresistibility as an end objective to work towards to. Women who focus instead on the day-to-day habit of having a great life and personality naturally exude a kind of charm which people will find impossible to ignore.
The funny thing about someone who's attractive in the truest sense of the word knows how to get a boyfriend without even trying in the first place. That's because she's more interested in being a genuine person who shares the joy of living with other people.
The root of unattractive behavior begins with doing the opposite: behaving in ways meant to win other people's approval or manipulating them into giving us what we want.
Let's say for example that validation is a woman's motive for being warm and accommodating towards a guy (as opposed to the earnest desire to please him without wanting anything in return).
Or maybe you want to share your hang-ups, insecurities and the gruesome details of your previous relationship during your first date with a new man in order to force a rushed sense of intimacy.
Acting with these pretentious and self-serving agendas isn't how to get a boyfriend.
By consciously avoiding a self-centered mindset, we can focus on developing a general lifestyle which will inadvertently make us more attractive in the process. Even the hottest-looking guy would be killing his irresistibility if he was full of himself.
In fact, it's a telltale sign that said person lacks a great deal of self-confidence. Obsessing about yourself will manifest in your actions and gives the impression that you're hung up on making people like you.
And that's really the flip side of being attractive – it can't be achieved by directly working towards it. Instead, we need to fashion our lives based on choices which are truly our own, and NOT based on what other folks expect from us.
In other words, you need to stop putting your happiness on hold because you're still waiting for your life to become better. An attractive woman lives in the moment because she knows that being content with her existence begins NOW – not later, not tomorrow, not next year.
A positive (and highly attractive) attitude starts with deriving happiness and pride from living in the very moment that you're in. Any woman who does this will encourage the same vibe from those around her.
Consequently, these people will inexplicably find themselves drawn to such a woman, be it friends, family or incredibly cute guys!
So remember, inviting a man into your life can be indirectly done by molding your goals based on what you REALLY want out of life as well as making yourself a better and more well-rounded person.
Trust me, they'll find your passionate and engaged outlook on life way more attractive than driving yourself mad over which skirt to wear or which make-up to put on!

As holiday shopping swings into full bore, there are literally thousands of low-income seniors in the local area who will be alone at Christmas and at risk of missing out, and an even larger number of children whose families struggle to provide the bare necessities and are facing Christmas with very little to give.
Home Instead Senior Care's Be a Santa for a Senior project is looking for shoppers to help about 1,000 of those seniors in Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Jonesborough, Erwin, Elizabethton and Greeneville, And in Jonesborough, police officers and firefighters are seeking donations of new toys and financial contributions to provide a richer Christmas for about 50 children whose needs have been identified by Jonesborough area schools.
The seniors' first names, essential needs and Christmas wishes can be found on purple paper ornaments decorating Be a Santa for a Senior trees and wreaths located in the customer service departments of all area Belk stores and in the lobbies of the Johnson City Medical Center and Franklin Woods Community Hospital.
The seniors' needs have been identified by nonprofit senior service agencies across the Tri-Cities and their wishes are modest, most often for a small comfort item or warm article of clothing. Those who wish to help may choose a senior's ornament at any of the tree and wreath locations through Dec. 6 and return their gifts to the store or hospital where they were selected by Dec. 9.
A community gift-wrapping party for the seniors will be held from 5-7 p.m. Dec. 12 at Faith Free Will Baptist Church, 824 N. State of Franklin Road, and Home Instead volunteers will deliver the gifts to the seniors' homes the following week.
For those who wish to make a financial donation to the project, checks made payable to Home Instead Senior Care and earmarked for "Be a Santa for a Senior" may be made by mail to Home Instead Senior Care, 3314 Wayfield Drive, Johnson City, TN 37601. More information about the project may be obtained by calling Community Service Representative Tracy Kendall at 483-3453 or going online to www.beasantatoasenior.com.
For the fifth-annual Christmas shopping season, Jonesborough's Shop with a Cop or Firefighter program has set out to help underprivileged children in the Jonesborough area between the ages of 5 and 12.
In addition to providing a happier holiday for the children, the program allows them to interact with law enforcement officers and firefighters in a very positive way — a pizza party and an evening of Christmas shopping with a law enforcement or firefighter partner.
The police officers and firefighters provide each child with a Walmart gift card to spend on themselves and their family members and also buy and wrap gifts that are discretely passed along to the children's parents to place under the Christmas tree from Santa, including gifts for any siblings who are outside the project's age range.
Their goal this year is raise to $8,500 to cover the cost of the special shopping trip and to collect new toys to supplement the project that may be dropped off anytime at the Jonesborough police department or at the St. Nick Nights held in downtown Jonesborough on Dec. 7 and Dec. 14.
Their Shop with a Cop or Firefighter night is Dec. 18 at the Walmart on West Market Street and would not be possible without help from officers of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
"There's no way we could handle all those kids without them," Jonesborough Maj. Natalie Hilton said.
Others who wish to help may send donations to Jonesborough Public Safety c/o Shop with a Jonesborough Cop, 123 Boone St., Jonesborough, TN 37659. Checks may be made payable to the town of Jonesborough and earmarked for "Shop with a Cop." All donations will be greatly appreciated, and tax-deductible receipts will be provided.
More information about the project may be obtained by calling 753-1053.
After Black Friday and Cyber Monday comes Giving Tuesday, a movement powered by social media to add a little more charity to the gift-giving season and the new year that follows it.
In 2012, Giving Tuesday raised $10 million nationally in charitable donations, and next week Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee joins the Giving Tuesday movement to add to that total this year with a Double Your Donation call-athon.
It's a match-gift opportunity for community members to double the impact of their gift for at-risk kids across the region made possible by The Knoxville News Sentinel and other East Tennessee businesses that are providing matching donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters on Tuesday and throughout December.
"This is an important investment for our East Tennessee communities," said Doug Kose, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee. "The funds raised through this campaign will help us provide positive role models to more children, helping them to perform better in school."
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a positive impact in the lives of children and their families since 1970 by providing children who are facing adversity a volunteer Big Brother or Big Sister to help them achieve academic success, reach for higher goals and avoid risky behaviors.
Big Brothers Big Sisters served 950 East Tennessee children in 2013 at an average annual cost of $1,000 per child. Its Double My Donation Campaign goal is $60,000. For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee, visit www.TennesseeBig.org or call 247-3240 or 865-523-2179.

North Carolina's recent General Assembly session has again made national news, this time being featured in Time Magazine for the sweeping, ultra-conservative changes the state is enacting.
While the Time article took more of a straight news and reporting approaching than did a recent New York Times editorial (which called the session's actions a "demolition derby"), overall it painted the state in unflattering tones, which is, unfortunately, becoming all too common when the national media turns its attention to our state.
By now the major hot button issues are well known. The General Assembly has limited voter registration and essentially eliminated some folks from the voting process, has limited access to polls, made it difficult for young adults still in college to take part in the electoral process, cut state jobless benefits and interrupted access to federal jobless benefits for many state residents, reduced funding to programs for the poor, to pre-K programs, eliminated funding to programs that have proven to spur job growth in rural areas, and…well, we think most folks get the picture.
All of this has been going on while so-called tax reform lowered personal income taxes, primarily for those who are well-off, decreased corporate taxes, and shifted more of the tax burden to those poor who are seeing benefits and state aid cut.
That list, no doubt, to those on the right of the political spectrum would seem to be simply the laundry list of left-wing liberals, the same-old same-old.
We would agree, if that was all there was to this particular General Assembly. However, nearly as disturbing as the way it has seemingly wanted to wipe the poor and lower echelons of the middle class from existence, is the cavalier manner in which some of these legislators have treated individual voters and communities in the state.
Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-Wilmington, called Moral Monday protests Moron Mondays, and said those participating in the weekly events were clowns and carnival barkers, all putting on some sort of sideshow. Later he called those participating "angry, aged former hippies" from the "loony left."
Other members of the GOP rallied around his descriptions and essentially backed his statements.
The General Assembly also damaged its credibility with moves to wrest control of local operations from cities and counties, as well as reneging on legally binding agreements a previous governor had made.
The state voted to take over the Asheville city water system and turn it into a metropolitan sewerage district, even though city residents there had paid to build and develop that system over the years. Imagine if the General Assembly decided to take over the Mount Airy water and sewer system and use it to expand into the rest of Surry County, even though city residents have by and large paid for the building and maintenance of this system.
The law, as written, will allow the state to do just that should it decide to — it is not limited to Asheville.
The General Assembly likewise voted to take over the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The legislators took this action not because there were any problems with the operations of the airport, but precisely because it was running well and profitably, and the state decided it wanted to control its operations. Thankfully, a judge has blocked that move, at least for now, while the city and the state prepare to slug this one out in court.
Then the General Assembly decided to go back on an agreement former Gov. Bev Perdue made with Raleigh, in December 2012 leasing the grounds of the Dorothea Dix Hospital property to the city. Raleigh officials had planned to develop the property into a park, with attractions that might draw people from outside the area.
The present General Assembly decided it didn't like the deal, so it broke the agreement.
This isn't meant to bash the General Assembly repeatedly. Governing is hard work, and this General Assembly should be given credit for at least attempting meaningful tax reform (something state leaders have talked about for decades but never acted on). And virtually everyone agrees the state has been out of control with its spending over the past decade, or more, and this General Assembly acted to rein in spending. And, while this governor and assembly has been hammered for cutting public education spending, but in reality education spending in the new budget is higher than the previous year (though not enough to offset enrollment growth and other cost increases).
But the general disrespect and disdain shown toward state residents who dared disagree with the majority party, and the manner in which the legislators have felt anything in the state is theirs for the taking, definitely leaves a sour taste and calls into question whether any entity, and especially businesses looking for a place to expand, would want to deal with a governor and legislature that can't be trusted.

A question of speech
We take the right to free speech very seriously in this country -- generally, support for that principle spans political lines.
It is axiomatic that the more distasteful speech may be, the more important it is that we stand firm in a person or group's right to make that speech. Here's where the landscape gets trickier, though. Human beings being human, it is not too difficult to rationalize that some speech with which you disagree steps over the bounds.
That is a slippery slope. If I find your heartfelt protests odious and in such bad taste that they should be silenced what's to keep you from finding mine likewise impermissible?
Durham, by and large, is a hotbed of free speech activism – we love robust debate, we have a long history of public protest and have over the years had ample reason to stand firm for free speech and its close cousin, academic freedom.
So that, perhaps, is why most people seem to have looked the other way as a single resident's strident assault on Sheriff Mike Andrews escalated.
The signs, notable for labeling the sheriff "NEFARIOUS," commenced during the May primary campaign. Andrews handily won the Democratic primary against two contenders, and faces no Republican opposition on the November ballot, so he is all but assured of election to the office he first filled by appointment when longtime Sheriff Worth Hill retired.
But not only have the "nefarious" signs continued, they have proliferated around downtown. The grass strip along Dillard Street in front of the Durham County Courthouse is a virtual forest of the identical signs
Aside from raising eyebrows of quizzical passers-by, the signs' visual onslaught has attracted the attention of city officials. Councilman Steve Schewel, a former newspaper publisher whose activist roots trace to the raucous 1960s, has suggested its time to look at an ordinance change.
"It's an issue of should the public right of ways be offered for unlimited use by anyone with an opinion and the money to put up an unlimited number of signs," Schewel told The Herald-Sun's Ray Gronberg.
He raises a valid point. And courts have ruled that some content-neutral limitations on signs pass constitutional muster.
David L. Hudson Jr., a scholar with the First Amendment Center in Nashville, writing for the center, observed in a similar context:
"A city may regulate the size, shape and location of yard signs. Such regulations may very well qualify as content-neutral and reasonable 'time, place and manner' restrictions on speech. Similarly, a city may be able to establish a 10-sign limit per residence on yard signs. At some point, the sheer number of signs might realistically impair the aesthetics of a neighborhood."
Of course, timing would suggest that however content-neutral any new regulations might be, stilling Lynch's voice – and protecting a fellow elected official from vituperation – is the immediate impact.
We look forward to a thoughtful discussion, but perhaps waiting out this storm and then putting in some reasonable content-neutral bounds would ward off similar situations.

New KC Brazillian Steakhouse
Last night, my father, boyfriend and I tried Amor Fiery Steakhouse de Brazil (located in the old Copeland's space on 119th and Metcalf). My father and I had been to Churrascaria Plataforma in NYC before, so we knew what to expect as far as the food...but the prices here were higher here than New York and for much less variety. We were a bit shocked at the $43.99 per person pricing!
Once seated, you're given the instructions to head to the the "Salad Bar Extravaganza," which contained 40 or so items, many of which were very tasty...ahi tuna, gravlax of salmon, hearts of palm, wheels of cheese, different pasta and bean salads, etc. The lobster bisque was far too sherry-heavy...not even edible, which was disappointing.
You're then brought family-style side dishes, polenta triangles, garlic mashers and fried bananas. Once you flip your coaster-sized serving card to green, the cutters begin to bring on the meat. They claim 14 varieties...I believe we saw 9 last night. The picania was by far my favorite, although the filet mingnon and parmesean pork tenderloin were delicioius too.
In NYC, we were offered desserts from a traveling cart - at AFSB a pineapple was brought around by one of the meat servers and sliced tableside, which was tasty. Desserts were also available a la carte. We asked for more bananas and had those with our pineapple :) A traveling drink girl served two types of cocktails tableside as well.
The wine list has about 240 offerings, priced somewhat reasonably. With three dinners and a 1/2 bottle of wine, we got out for $185 before tip.
Since we had a little sticker shock, I thought I'd put the details out here for any other hounds thinking of trying AFSB in the future :) Interested to hear others' thoughts.
Wow! I've been wondering about it, but that price is a little scary for me! Was it worth it?
We ate there about 2 weeks ago. I had a gift card for $40 so we went with our neighbors. Totally agree with you on your synopsis. I really liked the sides, but of course since it's all you can eat they just want to fill you up before the meat comes. I loved the polenta triangles - very tasty.
We started with the drinks from the cart (which if I remember were around $9 each but I had 3 and couldn't remember much after that). The waitress asked if we wanted sparkling water or still water. Thinking it was included in the $43.99/person we got sparkiling. Then, they added $6/person to the bill for the water. Our bill for 4 people came to $350 which included the tip. It was a nice experience (I'd been to a couple Churrascarias before) but would probably not go again because of the insane price which only includes the 'salad bar', sides and the meat.
re: pmannon
If you like the Brazilian steak house thing, you might also try Em Chamas (hope I'm spelling that correctly); which is up north just west of 64th Street and I-29. I've eaten there once and it was very good and sounds just about the same as AFSB. However; I think it was ONLY $34/per person or something close to that.
Well, I am from South Florida so we have quite a bit of these rodizios. I was quite excited to see one near me open up. I agree with the picanha being their best cut of meat there. I don't know if it's because we went there within the first few weeks of opening, but their meats weren't consistent tasting, being the same cut of meat but just off a different rack, some were rather bland while some were quite salty. I also have to say, for some reason the texture of the meats just didn't seem to be up to par. The salad bar was pretty good, and I have to say I did enjoy the polenta.
So, all and all I was a litttle disappointed due to the saltiness or lack of and the texture of some of the meats. I've been to these types of restaurants in Florida, New York and California. So, unfortunately, I don't believe the quality is quite there yet, or maybe it was still in the training phase at that time.
I would say at least go for the experience if you have never been to these types of restaurants. I think I will try it again later this year and see if perhaps I would have a different opinion about it.
One of these days I'll try Em Chamas to compare as well.
That's pretty weird. The Copeland's in Minneapolis was also replaced by a Brazilian churrascaria (Fogo de Chão, 645 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis). Yours sounds exactly like ours, right down to the prices. I haven't tried our version yet, mostly because of the prices, but might sometime when I'm feeling flush.
re: Doghouse Reilly
The hubby and I were wandering aimless for food on Friday night and we came across Amor. It was late and they were open until 11pm. It wasn't crowded at all after 9pm. The $43/person for both salad bar and meats was a bit more than what we wanted to spend, but as all-you-can-eat veterans, we got our money's worth.
We were judicious with our salad bar choices. There was shrimp cocktail and seared rare ahi which were good, but something lingering in the back of our minds that perhaps not quite as fresh or exquisite as we'd like. But it was certainly good enough to gobble down a few pieces and not worry. There was heart of palm and some kind of Brazilian fruit salad that seemed more Midwestern than Brazilian but I have very little experience with Brazilian food.
The way the system works is that you load up on salad bar items before trying the meats. I flipped my card over for "Yes Please" while I was still working on my salad bar items and it seemed to cause a breakdown in the system. They were nice about it, but our servers were constantly asking me if I was done with my salad plate. So if you're like me and like to have a bite of salad bar with the meats, be prepared to bugged A LOT.
When you flip the card over for meats, the servers (they're referred to as gauchos) descend on you and it's a barrage of meats. They are very nice and if there's a particular meat you are waiting for, you can ask them and they'll send over the gaucho serving the meat you want to try. A few times, we had to flip over to "No Thanks" side of the card just to catch up eating and not lose track of what was what. When we did that, we were left alone.
My favorites were the sirloins and rack of lamb. The filet mignon and pork tenderloin was actually kind of boring and the pork ribs too salty for my taste, but then again I am not fond of salty foods. The sausage was slightly sweet, kind of reminded me of a breakfast sausage which was a nice change of pace from the salty meats. I did feel kind of bad comparing it to a breakfast sausage, much better than a McDonald's breakfast sausage.
I really liked the fried banana side dish and plowed through a couple of those. They were kind of inconsistent, some batches better than others. I kind of wished they were plantains but maybe they are hard to get or too "out there"? The polenta triangles were not bad either. Didn't touch the mashed potatoes because any all you can eat veteran can tell you, it'll fill you up.
The service is extremely attentive. Somehow they knew when we flipped the card over or if we needed a fresh plate, it was almost as if there were cameras or we were being watched. I have a feeling if one person did salad bar and the other did both meat and salad bar, they would know about sharing even if it was just a taste.
The table was ridiculously small and it was a challenge to fit the bread basket, 3 side dishes, 2 plates and a soup bowl on the postage sized table. The lobster bisque was the weirdest tasting lobster bisque I ever had. It had tiny bits of what I assume was lobster meat but I didn't care for the flavor.
Overall, it was fun dining experience. It's not Plaza III level meats but the food overall was good. Desserts would have been nice, but in reality we stuffed ourselves silly.
Thanks for the heads-up. I've been to Em Chamas a few times and have been pleased with the quality for the price. It's near I-29 & 64th (west to Cosby, south to restaurant entrance). It's not Fogo de Chau, but they slice the meat twice as thick and it costs half as much. I get out of there for about $35 a person instead of $60+. The side item bar doesn't have the robust quality selections that you see at the top-end Brazilian steak places, but that's not why you're there. The lamb is great, but the cheese infused prime rib keeps me coming back. I always kept wishing they'd bring around some ham and pineapple. Anyway, I'm hooked on Em Chamas, so I'll keep Amor in the back of my mind if I decide to splurge.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 1999 Despite Iraqi threats of attacks against coalition bases in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the United States remains committed to enforcing no-fly zones over Iraq and containing Saddam Hussein.
Threats "will get him nowhere," Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said here Feb. 16. "Any attack by Iraq against one of our allies in the region would be a severe mistake and would be met with a very swift and sure response."
The threats are a sign of Saddam's increasing desperation and isolation, Bacon said. "He's tried diplomacy with his neighbors. He's tried to cajole them into supporting his position, and that's failed. His neighbors -- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey -- have all made it very clear that they believe he should honor the U.N. Security Council resolutions."
Since late December, Iraq has persistently violated the no-fly zones and aggressively challenged patrolling coalition aircraft. In response, U.S. and British forces have attacked Iraqi missile and air defense sites with missiles and precision-guided munitions. U.S. and Iraqi forces have engaged in almost daily confrontations.
"They have turned on their radar. They have fired anti-aircraft batteries and also fired missiles at our planes over the last month and a half," Bacon noted. "We have responded properly against these attacks, and we will continue to respond properly against these attacks."
U.S. pilots act in self-defense, doing "the best they can to protect themselves and to carry out their missions," he said.
As a result of the coalition strikes, Iraq has sustained fairly heavy losses to its integrated air defense system, Bacon said. "I have no reason to believe that those damaging counter strikes will end until Iraq stops challenging the coalition aircraft policing the no-fly zone."
Threats against coalition forces and neighboring nations that support coalition air operations are Iraq's latest form of defiance. Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey, is one of Iraq's threatened targets. The Turkish base hosts U.S. and British air forces supporting Operation Northern Watch. Bacon said the facility is at the very outer edge of the range of Scud missiles.
Incirlik is protected by Patriot missile batteries deployed recently at the request of the Turkish government. "They will stay there as long as our Turkish allies feel that they're needed," Bacon declared.
U.S. Patriot batteries also protect coalition forces in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and at other bases in the region, he said. "I'm not aware that we've been asked to increase our deployments. We've been very quick to respond to requests that we've gotten from countries in the region."
Iraq could use Scuds, aircraft or terrorism to attack U.S. and coalition forces, Bacon noted. The United States takes Saddam's threats seriously, he stressed, and is prepared to counter any attack.
"We maintain a very significant counterattack or deterrent capability in the region. That's why any use of missiles or any other way to attack allied bases in this area would be a huge mistake on Saddam Hussein's part," Bacon said.
Following the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi officials declared they had destroyed all their Scuds, but U.S. officials believe Iraq may still have some. "This is one of the central reasons why we had arms inspectors working for years in Iraq trying to get to the bottom of whether or not they have destroyed all their Scuds," Bacon said.
A government report issued last year said Iraq had purchased 819 Scuds from the Soviet Union and that U.N. inspectors had accounted for all but two, he said. "But there's also the possibility that Iraq was able to manufacture some Scuds on its own out of parts that it had either manufactured or purchased over the years, and we don't have full visibility on that."
U.S. officials doubt Iraq has "significant air power to be able to launch a longer range attack against bases deep inside another country's territory." But even if Iraq did, Bacon said, "it would be extremely unwise for them to try to do that given the air defenses that are in the area."

Sorry, did I read that correctly? Keighley, Boon, Gallup, Lang, Boyes, Vignocchi, Totilo, greatest podcast crew ever?
This Bombcast is the stuff of legends. Hawkman from Hawktaku was killing it.
This is an illegal amount of bombcast. I love it.
Last nights bombcast (this one) was just to good. I was trying to go to sleep but couldn't because it was so hilarious!
Now I'm all tired today. Totally worth it though.
Here is my take on the Nintendo discussion: I don't think Nintendo could give a shit about "being lapped technologically" by the next Microsoft and Sony consoles. The Wii-U is the only system that can do things my PC can't. When those next consoles come out they need to have a STRONG reason that I should buy those and play games on those rather than playing the exact same games on my PC - where they look better and run faster. I am totally uninterested in first party games from Sony and Microsoft right now. I've played Halo to death, I've played Gears to death. I'm not interested in a 5th or 6th God of War game.
He's busy with Polygon's E3 show.
That was great last night. And I don't know how hawkman got into here but it was awesome. I love this place.

That dude behind Rocco was extremely funny i.e. acting like a total douche the whole time. I know that's their shtick, still not funny. He was doing that shit on camera and thankfully you won't notice it on the podcast.

I'm glad Eric was there to secretly make fun of Totillo, the guy who basically ruined the show for nearly two hours.(Of course, it's not his fault that Ryan kept asking him questions)
@Dallas_Raines: He could be a man and say something to his face, but he decided to act like a baby behind his back and Totilo didn't ruin anything.

It's really unfair that Totilo gets to write about games. So often I find myself reading an article on the internet only to pause suddenly, ask myself -- wait, what the fuck? -- only to look up and see his name. I hate to put people down but his writing is seriously reminiscent of a child's. I don't mean any of that grammar bullshit but more importantly what he is writing about.
It was SO nice to hear Geoff as an actual human being for once. I always swore he was a robot based on his stuff on Spike. Guess it just shows how much of a face you have to put on for TV.
You heard it here first, if you carry around a bag and collect merch at E3 you don't belong there. It's only for "elite" gaming press like giantbomb! Oh yeah, and stupid hats, fuck you guys and your stupid hats. I guess Ryan didn't take his blood pressure meds. Dick.
This Bombcast episode is among my favorite E3 moments so far. Surprised no one linked to Hawktaku.com yet. It was registered and setup during the Bombcast, talk about fast but I would have done the same if I wasn't working while listening last night. I even tossed Hawktaku a photoshop I did after seeing GameSpot had misspelled Ed's name "BOOM" earlier this week and then added Hawkman into it of course.

As we told you a few weeks ago, mum's the word when it comes to sexing and telling about the new Sex and the City movie.
Since the cast basically has a $2.5 million talking bounty on their heads, we weren't all that surprised that one of the big reveals didn't happen until just as the trailer was released last week.
Yes, Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) is back! So will he be causing some trouble in Carrie's world?
It would make sense that Sarah Jessica Parker would want to get frisky on her girls' trip with her ex-fiancé considering that she and Big aren't exactly having the best sex life, but we don't think that will be the case.
From what we're hearing about SATC 2, the flick isn't all about sex. What?!
"This movie isn't so much about hot sex as it is more about female empowerment," dishes a source from the set. "There will be less action."
We're all about female empowerment. Really, that's what made this show a hit in the first place! But can't we have both?
Count on Samantha to have her romps, per usual. As we told you before, Max Ryan (the man on the camel in the trailer) plays a love interest of Sam's—that we know—and a few other gentlemen callers have been blabbing to the press about being Kim Cattrall's main squeeze in bed, too.
Still this is to be expected. We just hope her onscreen friskiness isn't taken down a notch 'cause the other gals will be family focused.
Tell us, how are you all feeling about this Sex sequel? The second trailer is so much better than the first that we're starting to get way excited again. Guess that's the whole point.
SATC2 is rated R, 'course, so there had better be some hot nudity! Gilles Marini (who unfortunately won't be back) certainly set a high standard last year that's for sure.
So...guys, you groomed and ready? Damn well better be.
See how much the SATC girls have changed in our Sex and the City: Then and Now gallery.

Marchesa Wedding Dresses for Spring 2012
To say that the wedding dresses in Marchesa's spring 2012 bridal collection are "breathtaking" would be a total understatement. I couldn't just flick through the photos the way I normally do; I had to take my time viewing each gown so I could appreciate the intricacies of its designs. This collection is highly influenced by vintage silhouettes (see the stunning short dress with lace peplum below) and Asian influences, as well touches of mother nature's kiss. After all, what's a spring collection without soft chiffon roses and crystal vines? The British designers behind Marchesa truly outdid themselves this season.

Why is the relationship between Julia and Winston so rebellious to the party? By controlling the relationships, what does the Party hope to achieve?
part 2
1 Answer | Add Yours
Julia and Winston are attracted to one another. The party is in charge of approving all relationships, and they would not allow one if the couple appeared to be attracted to one another. Sex is meant for procreational purposes only. Once a couple is allowed to marry, they are only supposed to engage in sex to create children. If the marriage has no children, the couples are encouraged to live apart. There is no divorce. By pursuing a relationship based on attraction and sex, Julia and Winston are going against the Party.
The Party's purpose in controlling relationships is to discourage loyalty to any other person or group.
