[0001] The invention relates to a display device comprising a display panel having a first light-transmissive substrate provided with electrodes at the area of pixels arranged in rows and columns, a second light-transmissive substrate and liquid crystalline material between the two substrates, an illumination system situated on the side of the second substrate remote from the liquid crystalline material, said illumination system comprising a backlight and an optical shutter element provided with means for selectively transmitting light for a group of rows of pixels or a group of columns of pixels.
[0002] Display devices of this type are used in, for example, portable apparatus such as laptop computers, mobile telephones, personal organizers etc., but also in, for example, television applications.
[0003] A display device of the type mentioned above is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,328. This document shows a liquid crystal switch built up of separately switchable segments (optical shutter elements) between a flat light source (backlight) and a display panel. The liquid crystal switch is adapted in such a way that a plurality of rows of pixels of the display panel corresponds to one segment and its function is to shield pixels that are written in from the light coming from the backlight.
[0004] Each segment is coupled to one part of the switch, which part switches separately. By consecutively illuminating different, uninterrupted rows of pixels of the display panel via the associated part of the switch in such a device, scanning window applications are possible, in which the light from the backlight is presented in the form of strips. The light source emits unpolarized light which, when using, for example, a liquid crystal switch based on the twisted-nematic liquid crystal effect, is incident on a polarizer upon entrance into the switch. Polarized light of the desired polarization is passed; the other light is absorbed in the polarizer. Here, a loss of light of about 50% occurs. The light of the correct polarization is subsequently only passed by the switch segment which is opened so that a large part of this light (about 80% when using 5 segments) is absorbed in the switch (notably in the analyzer).
[0005] It is, inter alia, an object of the present invention to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks completely or partly. To this end, a display device according to the invention is characterized in that the display device comprises at least one reflective polarizer in the light path between the backlight and the display panel.
[0006] In this application, a "reflective polarizer" is understood to mean a polarizer which, on at least one side of the reflective polarizer, transmits linearly polarized radiation (light) in the direction of polarization of the reflective polarizer and reflects linearly polarized radiation (light) perpendicularly to this direction.
[0007] Polarized light of the desired direction of polarization is transmitted by the optical shutter element at the area of the switch segment which is opened. The reflective polarizer is situated, for example, parallel to an exit face of the backlight or of an optical waveguide of optically transparent material associated with the backlight, with an exit face facing the display panel. The transmitted light preferably has the same direction of polarization as that of a polarizer on the entrance face of the display panel. This light is subsequently modulated in the display panel in which, for example, the polarization changes, which is made visible by means of a second polarizer or analyzer.
[0008] At other areas, notably when the optical shutter element is based on a birefringent effect, polarized light having a different direction of polarization is transmitted, which light is absorbed by the polarizer on the entrance face of the display panel. The light loss thereby occurring is prevented in a preferred embodiment according to the invention, which is characterized in that the display device comprises, parallel to the exit face, a second reflective polarizer between the optical shutter element and the display panel.
[0009] In a further variant, the optical shutter element is situated between the display panel and the second reflective polarizer.
[0010] Said switches usually cover a surface area having the size of the surface area of the display panel. Also the light from the backlight must cover this surface area, which does not only require more material but also imposes stringent requirements on the quality of said backlight, due to the desired uniformity. To avoid this, an advantageous embodiment of a display device according to the invention is characterized in that the optical waveguide is provided with means for coupling in light in a direction parallel to the exit face.
[0011] The light is now coupled into the optical waveguide from, for example, an edge of the optical waveguide. The light beam to be coupled in has considerably smaller dimensions than the surface area of the display panel. This surface area is now defined, for example, by the width of a light strip (which is a part of, for example, the overall height of the display panel) and the thickness of the optical waveguide (which is usually considerably smaller than, for example, the overall width of the display panel). This makes it easier to couple light of one intensity into the optical waveguide (uniform light source).
[0012] A first variant is characterized in that the illumination system comprises at least one backlight and an optical waveguide having at least one entrance face for light, while light from the backlight can be coupled in along the entrance face extending substantially transversely to the exit face, and a selectively switchable light switch is situated between the backlight and the entrance face.
[0013] The entrance face is situated, for example, along an end face of the optical waveguide extending substantially transversely to the rows, while light from the backlight can be coupled in along this end face. The selectively switchable light switch then comprises, for example, a liquid crystal switching device with a liquid crystal between two substrates, one or both of which are provided with strip-shaped electrodes. The backlight does not only have a much smaller surface area than in the conventional display device, but the light switch is also much smaller and can therefore be manufactured at lower cost. Consequently, the backlight and the light switch can be easily integrated to one assembly. Substitution of such a combination is simpler than in the known device because alignment in only one dimension is necessary. The smaller dimension also reduces the duration of the filling process. Also the use of thinner optically switchable layers is possible, so that the switching time is faster.
[0014] These and other aspects of the invention are apparent from and will be elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter.
[0015] In the drawings:
[0016]FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an embodiment of a display device according to the invention,
[0017]FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic cross-section taken on the line II-II in FIG. 1, while
[0018]FIG. 3 shows a variant of FIG. 2, and
[0019]FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a part of a variant of FIG. 1.
[0020] The Figures are diagrammatic and not drawn to scale. Corresponding components are generally denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0021] The display device 1 shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a display panel 2 and an illumination system 8.
[0022] The display panel 2 comprises, between two substrates 3, 4, an electro-optical material, in this embodiment a liquid crystalline material 5 whose operation is based on, for example, the twisted-nematic (TN), the supertwisted-nematic (STN) or the ferroelectrical effect for modulating the direction of polarization of light incident thereon. The display panel comprises, for example, a matrix of pixels for which transparent picture electrodes 6 are arranged on the substrate 3. The substrate 4 is light-transmissive and has light-transmissive electrodes 7 of, for example, ITO (indium tin oxide). The picture electrodes are provided with electric voltages via connection wires 6′, 7′ which are provided with drive voltages by means of a drive unit 9. Moreover, the display panel is customarily provided with a polarizer 20 and an analyzer 22.
[0023] In this embodiment, the illumination system 8 comprises an optical waveguide 15 made of an optically transparent material and having four end faces 10, 10′. A backlight 12 whose light is coupled into the optical waveguide 15 via the end face 10 is arranged opposite one of the end faces, for example, 10. The light source, or backlight, 12 may be, for example, a rod-shaped fluorescence lamp. The backlight may be alternatively constituted, for example, by one or more light-emitting diodes (LED), notably in flat-panel display devices having small display panels such as, for example, in portable televisions. Moreover, the backlight 12 may be detachable.
[0024] The exit face 18 of the optical waveguide 15 faces the display panel 2. Each end face 10′ of the transparent plate, into which no light is coupled, may be provided with a reflector. In this way, light which is not coupled out on the exit face 18 and consequently propagates through the waveguide and reaches an end face is prevented from leaving the waveguide 15 via this end face 10′.
[0025] To avoid that light leaves the waveguide 15 without contributing to the light output of the illumination system, light from the lamp 12 is preferably coupled into the waveguide 15 via coupling-in means 13, for example, by means of a wedge-shaped optical waveguide which limits the angle of the entering beam to 15 degrees with respect to the faces 18, 19. Moreover, this enhances the contrast, because there is no scattering light.
[0026] In this embodiment, the optical waveguide 15 has a plurality of grooves 17 on the face 19. The entrance light beam is thereby reflected towards the display panel 2.
[0027] The display device 1 shown is driven in the scanning-window mode. This means that groups of row electrodes (for example, the electrodes 6) are consecutively illuminated with a beam having the width of the group of row electrodes. In this embodiment, the light beam is displaced in the direction of arrow 16.
[0028] This is achieved, for example, by means of a liquid crystal shutter 21. This shutter comprises, for example, between two substrates 23, 24, a liquid crystalline material 25 whose operation is based again on, for example, a twisted-nematic (TN), the supertwisted-nematic (STN) or the ferroelectrical effect; a fast electro-optical effect is preferably used, such as, for example, that based on an LC gel system obtained by crosslinking of LC monomers, in which a layer of polymer material switches from an absorbing state to a transparent state, and vice versa. The shutter or switch 21 comprises strip-shaped light-transmissive transparent picture electrodes 26, 27 on the light-transmissive substrates 23, 24 (in this embodiment on the inner side, but they may be alternatively provided on the outer side; use may also be made of strip-shaped electrodes on one substrate and one counter electrode on the other substrate). The (strip-shaped) electrodes are provided with electric voltages via connection wires 26′, 27′ which are provided with drive voltages by means of said drive unit 9. If necessary, also the shutter 21 is provided with a polarizer 30 to suppress scattering light, if any.
[0029] The drive unit 9 is adapted to be such that the strip-shaped parts of the optical shutter element corresponding to facing electrodes 26, 27 consecutively become light-transmissive (opened) after the related rows of pixels (or the columns of pixels in the case of transposed scanning) have been provided with information. In connection with a possible inertia in the liquid crystal material in the display device 2, a waiting time is preferably observed for opening the associated parts of the shutter 21.
[0030] Light in a light beam 41 (FIG. 2) from the lamp 12 comprises linearly polarized light with a direction of polarization which is parallel to that of the reflective polarizer 35 and linearly polarized light with a direction of polarization transverse thereto. The first component is therefore passed by the reflective polarizer 35 at the location of an energized segment (in this embodiment, it is assumed that the direction of polarization of the light passed by the reflective polarizer 35 and the reflective polarizer 36 to be described hereinafter is parallel to that of the polarizers 30 and 20 of the shutter 21 and the display panel 2, respectively). The other component is not passed by the reflective polarizer 35 but is reflected (arrows 42 in FIG. 2) in the direction of the lamp 12 which depolarizes the light (for example, via reflectors) and reflects it again in the direction of the reflective polarizer 35. The polarized light then generated is again partly passed by the reflective polarizer 35, etc. In this way, it is avoided that light of the second component is absorbed in the reflective polarizer 35, so that a higher light output is obtained. At the location of non-energized segments, light is passed (usually) with a direction of polarization perpendicular to that of the polarizer 35. By arranging a second reflective polarizer 36 between the light shutter 21 and the display panel 2, this light is reflected again via the light shutter 21 and the first reflective polarizer 35 (arrows 43 in FIG. 2) in the direction of the lamp 12 which depolarizes the light and reflects it again in the direction of the reflective polarizer 35. When generating the light beam 44, which is eventually passed by the opened segment and modulated by the display panel 2, no or hardly any light is lost in the composite parts of the display device.
[0031] The second reflective polarizer 36 may also be situated on the other side of the display panel 2. Yet another variant is shown in FIG. 3 in which the light first passes through the display panel 2 and then through the light shutter 21, while the combination of display panel 2 and light shutter 21 is present between the two reflective polarizers 35, 36. A polarizer 32 is now situated on the viewing side of the reflective polarizer 36.
[0032] The invention is of course not limited to the embodiments shown. For example, the illumination system 8 may be alternatively constituted by a flat backlight comprising one or more lamps in a lamp space covered with a flat diffuser. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the coupling-in of light between the backlight 12 and the optical waveguide 15 can be enhanced in the same way as described above for raising the light output of the optical waveguide 15 to the display panel. This is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4 for the part 39 in FIG. 1. An optical shutter element 21 between two reflective polarizers 35′, 36′ is again arranged between the backlight 12 and the optical waveguide 15. For a satisfactory operation, the lamp housing 11 preferably has a scattering mirror 14 on its inner side.
[0033] The protective scope of the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown. The invention resides in each and every novel characteristic feature and each and every combination of characteristic features. Reference numerals in the claims do not limit their protective scope. Use of the verb "to comprise" and its conjugations does not exclude the presence of elements other than those stated in the claims. Use of the article "a" or "tan" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements.

Murphy Beds Scottsdale
The History of Scottsdale's Murphy Beds
Another word for wall beds, those sleeping contraptions that can disappear into the wall, is Murphy beds. They are gaining popularity in Scottsdale among homeowners that want more space without giving up a sleep area – more bang for their buck, if you will.
Murphy beds were not invented in Scottsdale. Murphy had come up with the clever idea over a hundred years ago toward the end if the 19th century in San Francisco. And if necessity is the mother if invention, Murphy's need was love.
He was courting a young lady named Gladys at the time. The problem was that Murphy lived in a one-room apartment and it was considered improper to have woman in a gentleman's bedroom before marriage. His solution was to disguise the room as a living room so that they could get to know each other without breaking any taboos.
This is not going to be the preferred usage for Murphy beds in modern-day Scottsdale but the point of the story is how innovation is the driving force for accomplishments. California Closets carried the spirit of innovation and creativity into its design principles.
Wall beds are still as clever an idea as ever before but nowadays, with an advanced mechanism, they are completely safe to use and do not require much strength at all to operate.

Back in January, we couldn't get enough of Justin Wu's footage of dude models lip-syncing to the Dandy Warhols. Well, we also love Wu's second video, in which fashion's finest male specimens channel Zoolander's Orange Mocha Frappuccino-loving friends once again.
Part deux of this super goofy, lib-dubbed series was taken during Spring Fashion Week in Milan and Paris and posted on Models.com, this time featuring Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation." Though it may not be as uncomfortable as Rafael Costa's video of male models stripping — set to the ever-subtle "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg — you should still brace yourself for some awesomely awful dance moves.
P.S. Is it just us, or does being a male model look like a lot of fun?

By Ryan Clark | May 20, 2009
Dubbed the "Denver Debacle," a schedule conflict erupted after the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference Finals putting Game 4 of the seven game series on the same night, and location, as the WWE's Live Raw event: May 25 at the Pepsi Center.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, speaking live on 4 O'Clock at 9NEWS, said the WWE was cancelling the Pepsi Center event along with a May 24 event in Loveland and a May 26 show in Colorado Springs.
All three shows will move to the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, home of the Denver Nuggets' current opponent, the LA Lakers.
McMahon said WWE would return to Colorado with an engagement at the Denver Coliseum on August 7. A spokeswoman for the Coliseum said the WWE would determine when tickets would go on sale for that event.
"We need to get back and make it right," said McMahon. "We're going to do the right thing by our audience for sure and that's why we're coming back in August."
McMahon stressed that his issue is not with fans in Colorado, but with Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke.
"I didn't create this controversy, it's Stan Kroenke's inept management which created this controversy and quite frankly Kroenke's management is driving us out of Denver. We don't want to leave Denver, they're driving us out," he said. "They wouldn't even make a deal unless there was a joint press release. You wouldn't believe the things they wanted me to say."
Kroenke Sports Enterprises (KSE) Executive Vice President Paul Andrews confirmed they were asking for a joint release, but said he thought an amicable solution had been reached in principle.
Andrews said KSE first learned of McMahon's intentions to move the events when he appeared live on 4 O'Clock at 9NEWS.
McMahon had previously asked for five tickets to the Nuggets-Lakers game on May 25 to facilitate a face-to-face meeting with Kroenke, who he had repeatedly insulted on television.
"Vince was remorseful for his outrageous statements," said Andrews.
KSE suggested in a written statement that McMahon was more interested in publicity than a solution.
"Despite the propaganda campaign launched by WWE and Chairman Vince McMahon, the KSE team maintained a professional manner throughout this process. We had hoped for, and worked hard toward an amicable resolution - which we verbally had on Tuesday," Andrews said in a written statement.
"We understand there will be many disappointed WWE fans in the Denver area. It's unfortunate and disappointing that WWE executives ultimately chose this path. The sensationalism employed by WWE in this instance is not surprising," the statement read. "The amount of publicity and coverage enjoyed by their group over the last few days has clearly become their new business goal instead of finalizing what we thought was a favorable solution and ultimately allowed their fans to attend the event."
McMahon said he would not rule out bringing WWE back to the Pepsi Center at some point, but it was clear his frustration with Kroenke hadn't subsided.
"It's really unfortunate because if he were just a regular business man and picked up the phone and said, 'Vince, you know, we're throwing you out but I want to make it right, what can we do?' I never heard from Kroenke, I don't know if anyone else has either, by the way, he's somewhat of a Howard Hughes guy I understand," he said.

Florida Butterflies-Spring Butterfly Count
At Naples Botanical Garden, the butterfly count has been high this spring for most of the Florida butterflies. Most people (myself included) were affected by Hurricane Wilma about five years ago and lost a lot of their garden's canopy. Now finally, we are seeing a big return of the zebra long wings (Florida's state butterfly) and also the Julia, which are two of our Florida heliconian butterflies, since the tree canopies are beginning to return.
These two butterflies like to play in shade or dappled sun, like under the canopy trees provide. I have always suggested when planting Passion vines, their host plant, i.e. plants that female butterflies deposit their eggs on, that they should be planted in shade or partial shade for maximum efficiency.

The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. The left coronary artery supplies blood to the left ventricle. The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right and left ventricles.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or heart bypass surgery may be recommended when one or more coronary arteries are seriously blocked and blood supply to the heart muscle is insufficient. Several tests can identify the cause of the chest pain (angina), such as blood tests, stress tests, heart scans, and x-ray studies (angiograms).
Procedure, part 1
Although the heart itself is not "opened", the heart-lung bypass machine is used to re-route the blood around the heart while the surgery is being done to provide adequate circulation to the brain and other vital organs.
Procedure, part 2
Coronary bypass surgery is an open heart surgery (the chest is opened, but not the heart itself). It is usually done through an opening through the breast bone. While one surgeon is working on the chest, another surgeon works on taking a length of vein (saphenous vein) for the bypass through a long incision along the inside of the lower leg. The vein is sewn in above and below the blockage in the coronary artery. Alternatively, an artery from the interior aspect of the chest wall (internal mammary artery), or the arm (radial artery) may be used.
Procedure, part 3
In many cases, more than one coronary artery must be bypassed, and the internal mammary, the radial arteries, or several segments of the saphenous vein are used to perform the bypasses.
After the operation, the patient will spend 5 to 10 days in the hospital, the first 1 to 3 days in an intensive-care unit (ICU). Chest tubes will be in place for the first 2 to 3 days to drain any residual blood and fluid from around the heart and lungs. Heart functions will be monitored. The full benefits from the operation may not be ascertained until 3 to 6 months after surgery. Sexual activity may be resumed 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. All activities that do not cause fatigue are permitted, but the patient must not strain the healing chest bone (sternum).

Frauds, Scams, and Consumer Alerts
Avoiding Travel Scams
Unlike most products, travel services usually have to be paid for before they are delivered. This creates opportunities for disreputable individuals and companies. Some travel packages turn out to be very different from what was presented or what the consumer expected. Some don't materialize at all! Good travel deals are always tempting. After all, paying less for a vacation can mean more money for touring, souvenirs, or for another vacation. Even though there are some great legitimate travel deals out there, it always pays to be on the lookout for scams. Here are a few precautions you should take:
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

text: http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have an approximately 1500 line patch for the Linux kernel - introducing a new file system. I have lots of problems with posting a patch straight to the kernel mailing list (gmail mangles the patch/it's very long/no easily apparent way to break the patch up except by hand etc) I don't want to use git format-patch as it generates a long, long series of patches, many of which are junk (eg debug printks and the like) and I am not at present able to suggest people pull off my git (I'm on the road and it's on a lap top without a fixed IP and so on). So, what is the best way to do this? I fear (HowTos)

[Exene Says]: Thank You, OC
[Editor's Note: Exene Cervenka is a writer, visual artist and punk rock pioneer. The OC transplant is the lead singer for X, the Knitters and Original Sinners. Her column, Exene Says..., is her space to basically just write what's on her mind, everything from crazy life stories to political theories and observations about what's going on in this fucked up world of ours. To contact her, send all messages to firstname.lastname@example.com.]
Exene Cervenka
When I first started writing my Ask Exene advice column for the OC Weekly, I felt like Nathaniel West's Miss Lonelyhearts. Or, sometimes, Lois Lane. I took every letter very seriously, contemplating my response for days. After all, if people were asking me for advice, I owed it to them to do some soul-searching. I thought also of the people who might relate to the letters, even if the original questioner would hate my advice! Hey, maybe I helped somebody who wasn't even looking for help!
Then I got to write whatever I wanted with Exene Says. I could stir up the truth, then put it on a paper plate, and let's have a picnic. Not everybody wants to eat what I serve. And that's okay with me. If I made you think slightly differently, or if you vehemently disagreed, I feel pretty good about the whole experience.
All I really want to achieve on this planet is to know I served a meaningful purpose, that I was honest with myself, that I slayed all my dragons and gave you a few tips on how to slay yours.
This is my last column. I am striking out to that horizon I haven't met yet. Please visit my Youtube channel, Christine Cervenka, if you want to continue on with me as your guide, pal, helper, friend, joker.

Hi, I have a sony vaio board that i just transferred to a new case and new power supply. The 3 pin cable missing on the new power supply is labeled p2 on the old one. On boot up i get a hardware moniter error asking me check power setup. I assume this is it. I thing that the p2 connector is to check the power supply fan speed, because the speed shows N/A in the power setup. Is there a way to by pass this, such as connecting an other fan to it?. Or can i just get a 3 pin adapter to plug into the board. Any suggestions would be great.
Thank You

If you mean the old PS has two wires that are quite small in comparison to other wires coming from the power supply with a 3 position female connector that fits on the 3 pin header for the PS fan on the mboard, some better power supplies have that, so that the speed of one of the fans in the PS can be monitored by the mboard.
You do not need to connect it, and you don't need such wires coming from the new PS.
The fan it monitors the rpm of will work in any case - it doesn't get it's power from the mboard.
Obtaining a cable with the right female connector on the end is of no use - the new PS does not have anywhere the wires can be connected to - the PS would have the wiring if it were capble of outputting the rpm of a fan.
However, in some bioses you can toggle on/off whether the speed of the PS fan is monitored by the hardware monitoring chipset, and the bios can be set to notify you some way if no rpm is detected from the PS fan - if your bios can be set like that, turn off the monitoring of the PS fan.
The important thing is that the new PS has all the same colors of wires in it's main connector from the PS in the same positions as the old PS, and that there are the same number of wires at each position (some have 2 wires), and that the new PS has the required extra power connectors that were used from the old PS to connect to the mboard, if that applies (e.g. 6 pin auxilary, 8 pin processor.
On some mboards, you MUST use a 24 position main connector from the PS into a 24 position main socket on the mboard - on other mboards they will work fine with a 20 position connector in the 24 position mboard socket - see the mboard or system manual.
Many recent PSs have a 20 position main connector and in the same wiring bundle a 4 position connector that can be clipped onto (or unclipped from) the 20 position one if you need to connect to all positions in a 24 position socket.
Thanks!. Good thing I had the old psu to plug back in so I could disable the psu fan monitoring. After this it worked like a charm.
Thanks again
Thank You

It's good to hear that you solved the problem. You shouldn't have had to connect the original power supply to turn off the setting though.

It\'s good to know that Aussie politician Troy Buswell has never done anything inappropriate with a quokka. And who hasn\'t induldged in a bit of chair-sniffing every now and then?
However, as dsquared says:
What would be appropriate behaviour toward a quokka? I suspect that different people draw different lines with respect to these eminently fuckable, football-shaped, edible marsupials. Who I suspect have a pretty tough time of it.
I\'m slightly perplexed by the \'fuckable\' – they look a bit small to me, but I\'ll defer to the expert. Quokkas are certainly another illustration of the bizarre bifurcation of Antipodean wildlife: on the one hand, you have unspeakably hardcore versions of normal things, such as spiders that can eat your head and fish that can eat your whole boat; on the other, you have unspeakably crap versions of normal things, such as permanently stoned minature bears that die falling out of trees and birds that can\'t fly or run. The quokka definitely falls into the second category.
At least according to Wikipedia, the quokka \"recycles a small amount of its waste products\". What an environmentally friendly little fella – an inspiration to us all. Or alternatively, what a great euphemism: \"no, I wasn\'t eating my own shit in that German movie, I was just recycling waste products…\"

This week we're reaching back to 2009 for the debut of "Korea's Pussycat Dolls," After School. Long before the admission of additional members Uee, Raina, Nana, Lizzy, E-Young, and soon-to-join Gaeun, the group that pushed the borders of sexy in Korean pop music started with five: leader Kahi, Jungah, Soyoung, Jooyeon and rapper Bekah.
In late 2007, Kahi met up with Pledis executives (friends from her years as a professional backup dancer) to plan and produce a dance idol group. After a couple of years selecting and training members, After School debuted with "AH," an earworm-y-in-a-good-way dance pop track that probably gave music censors a run for their money. We almost feel bad for the poor teacher of After School's class in the MV. Almost….
Korean idol groups up until After School's debut had done sexy before, but not quite After School-sexy; the girls leveled up everything from choreography to attire, taking the sexy-schoolgirl theme so literal it was metaphoric again. "AH!" enjoyed moderate success in the charts, but deserves a place in K-pop history as one of the standout and daring debuts of 2009.
Stay tuned to MTV K for more Throwback Thursdays!

It's no secret citizens in the Asian country always know Mother China is looking over their shoulder.
For instance the Chinese cannot learn about what happened in Tianamen Square by doing a Google search. The results are voluntarily censored by the company.
But in light of recent cyber attacks targeting the g-mail accounts of Chinese human rights activists, Google is saying "No more censorship or there may be no more Google in China."
It remains to be seen if the Chinese government will bend or if Google will carry through on its threat.
But the Chinese government did acknowledge the issue publicly today, saying the internet in China is open, and attacking it is illegal.

This election could come down to four letters: GOTV.
It stands for "get out the vote." Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, is doing some of that himself this morning in Saratoga Springs. Republican Matt Doheny's campaign is also GOTV'ing.
New York doesn't have much in the way of early voting, so GOTV is about reminding people that, Hey, guess what, pal? The election is tomorrow!

Winter Bridge
cold flowing winter water.
distant sky readying snow.
warm breath cloud–frozen.
heads and necks kept covered.
cardinals perched on branches above
a slender wooden bridge.
two patches of land connected by the bridge
separated by water.
the cardinals above
commingle with feathers of snow
that leave them covered
on branches now frozen.
the cardinals' gaze–frozen
upon the solitary bridge,
and the land, covered
now by drops of water
and gentle flakes of snow–
falling, meandering from above.
expanse above,
air tightly frozen,
suspending snow,
settling on the bridge.
slowing water.
the ground now covered–
still and covered–
with ice and snow above.
the water
on the ground is frozen.
the bridge,
now blanketed with snow.
suspended above, the snow
in frozen air. covered–
the water and bridge.
Two cardinals have
Been visiting the branches
Of the maple outside my
Window for the past week
A male and a female
One vibrant
One muted in the background
In the rain they sit, miserable in their beauty
In the sun, haughty and flamboyant

Put yourself first for a change and build a solid foundation for a healthy and fulfilling life
It's not selfish to put yourself at the top of your to-do list.
Living your life for others is worthy and helping others is good for our health. But it is easy to forget that you can't look after other people's needs effectively until your own needs are taken care of. A flower is not self indulgent when it takes up water.
Putting others first is a natural part of a caring person's make-up. When a child falls and cries, you'll clean the wound and reassure the child almost without thinking. But in that moment, if you're over-tired, ill or generally over stretched, you're ability to help is reduced and you might end up tripping over the child and hugging the band-aid by mistake!
Putting yourself and your need to rest, relax, have fun sometimes will make you a better carer, provider or parent because you'll be healthier and have more energy.
Putting yourself first is not selfishness
Think of Putting Yourself First for a Change as stopping for fuel. A car isn't being selfish when it stops for fuel. It needs to do this so it can serve the situation as well as possible.
It can start to feel really liberating when you prioritize looking after your own needs sometimes. It will give you a new lease of life.

Some food scholars say that chili-seasoned stews of meat and beans belong more to Texas and the American Southwest than to Mexico. Certainly, this is a cantina dish of the northern borderlands, and it owes a debt to present-day sensibilities in its health-conscious combination of ground turkey and black beans.
- 2 cups (14 ounces/440 grams) dried black beans
- 8 cups (64 ounces/2 liters) water
- 2 fresh árbol chili peppers
- 3 bay leaves
- For Salsa:
- 4 dried ancho chili peppers, stemmed and seeded
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces/125 milliliters) fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces/60 milliliters) fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound (500 grams) coarsely ground (minced) turkey
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 fresh poblano chili peppers, stemmed, seeded and diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 cups (16 ounces/500 milliliters) chicken stock, or as needed
Sort through the black beans and discard any misshapen beans or stones. Rinse well. In a large saucepan, combine the beans, water, árbol chilies and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Remove the chilies and bay leaves and discard. Set aside.
FOR SALSA: In a cast-iron frying pan over medium heat, toast the ancho chilies, turning frequently to avoid scorching, until soft and brown, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, chop and place in a bowl. Add the orange and lime juices, salt and olive oil. Mix well and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours before serving. (The salsa can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the turkey and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the onion, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, poblano chilies, chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the black beans and their liquid and the 2 cups chicken stock and cook, uncovered, until the flavors have melded and the mixture has thickened, 30-40 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more chicken stock if needed for the desired consistency.
Ladle the chili into warmed bowls and top each serving with a dollop of the salsa.

The virtues of centenarians.
The centenarians at Villa Campestri are our trees: strong healthy plants that thrive, some for hundreds of years, thanks to the hillside location and the ideal soil for olive cultivation. The hillside location and the nature of the soil provide the ideal environment for olive cultivation and the nearby woods create a microclimate which renders phytosanitary treatment unnecessary. Soil and water are managed by means of naturally-occurring year-round grass over the entire surface. The result is organically produced extra-virgin olive oil of the highest quality. Harvesting is by hand and the olives are processed on the same day at our press.
The plantation covers 5 hectares and is cultivated principally with Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio, Pendolino and Correggiolo varieties, and in smaller quantities also with Piangente and Leccio del Corno cultivars.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, state and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications.
Under the ADA, a person with a disability is defined as one who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. If you believe you meet that criteria, it is important to familiarize yourself with the ADA and understand your rights under the law.
What follows is a brief description of some these important protections as well as links for further information and support should you need assistance.
The ADA covers employers with 15 or more employees. If your ability to do your job is not affected, you are under no legal obligation to reveal a disability to your employer unless you plan to request special accommodations. In the workplace, you are covered under the ADA if you can perform the duties of your job with or without reasonable accommodation.
Reasonable accommodations include making facilities accessible by disabled people — with handicapped accessible parking spaces, entryways, and rest rooms, for example, and acquiring or modifying equipment. Exceptions can be made if such accommodations would impose an undue hardship on the employer's business. An undue hardship would be something that requires great difficulty or expense to the employer or the business operation. There is no obligation on the part of the employer to lower standards or to provide personal use items. An employer is not obligated to assign your work to someone else.
If you believe your rights in the workplace have been violated, you can file charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Public transportation authorities must comply with requirements for accessibility in newly purchased vehicles, make good faith efforts to purchase or lease accessible used buses, remanufacture buses in an accessible manner, and, unless it would result in an undue burden, provide paratransit where they operate fixed-route bus or rail systems. For more information visit Office of Civil Rights Federal Transit Administration U.S. Department of Transportation.
Public accommodations are private entities who own, lease, lease to, or operate public facilities that must comply with specific requirements related to architectural standards for new and altered buildings; reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures; effective communication with people with hearing, vision, or speech disabilities; and other access requirements. Public accommodations must remove barriers in existing buildings where it is easy to do so without much difficulty or expense, given the public accommodation's resources. Complaints about violations may be filed with the Department of Justice.
The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) requires that buildings and facilities that are designed, constructed, or altered with Federal funds, or leased by a Federal agency, comply with Federal standards for physical accessibility. ABA requirements are limited to architectural standards in new and altered buildings and in newly leased facilities. They do not address the activities conducted in those buildings and facilities. Facilities of the U.S. Postal Service are covered by the ABA. For more information or to file a complaint, contact U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.
It is unlawful to discriminate in any aspect of selling or renting housing or to deny a dwelling to a buyer or renter because of the disability of that individual, an individual associated with the buyer or renter, or an individual who intends to live in the residence. Other covered activities include financing, zoning practices, new construction design, and advertising. Complaints of Fair Housing Act violations may be filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For questions about the accessibility provisions of the Fair Housing Act contact Fair Housing Accessibility FIRST.
Discrimination in air transportation by domestic and foreign air carriers against qualified individuals with physical or mental impairments is prohibited. It applies only to air carriers that provide regularly scheduled services for hire to the public. Requirements address a wide range of issues including boarding assistance and certain accessibility features in newly built aircraft and new or altered airport facilities. For more information or to file a complaint, contact Aviation Consumer Protection Division U.S. Department of Transportation.
Polling places across the United States are required to be physically accessible to people with disabilities for federal elections. Where no accessible location is available to serve as a polling place, a political subdivision must provide an alternate means of casting a ballot on the day of the election. States are required to make available registration and voting aids for disabled and elderly voters, including information by telecommunications devices for the deaf (TDDs) which are also known as teletypewriters (TTYs). For more information contact U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
Schools are required to make available to all eligible children with disabilities a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to their individual needs. For more information contact Office of Special Education & Rehabilitative Services U.S. Department of Education.
You can find out more about disability issues and read the associated laws in their entirety here: Americans with Disabilities Act or call the ADA Information Line (800) 514-0301 (voice) (800) 514-0383 (TTY).

So Many Think that access is just personal thoughtfulness
I wish more was already in place for these special souls.
Good for you putting this together for many to see, Too many people are unaware of services that are available to them.
How about a petition to the government to supply all people with disabilities and their carers, details of services available and contact details for same directly? I am sure the would save a lot of unnecessary suffering.
I've seen handicapped spaces at doctor's offices that were further away from the door than the other spaces. I suspect the doctors were parking in the spaces that should have been marked handicapped.
Handicap Parking spaces are spelled out in the law but I for one think they are inadequately defined. It is an equation i can not remember 1 space per so many ordinary spaces. I do not remember any provision as to where the spaces are put, I would imagine that is left to common sense,don't ask... I can't walk more than a few yards at a time and i do use my placard but i have been called names, and screamed at by people, and i have done my share of screaming. It is frustrating enough to have to do everything differently without being exhausted and in pain before you even start. The shopping center i frequent has all its handicap spaces near the Whole Foods and none near the 99 cent store. The healthy seem to shop at Whole foods, the crips like me at 99c, seems it ought to be reversed.
one thing you learn, it is always something
Great story, Ian!!!! :)
For what it's worth, I'm a vet, disabled, but before I was (and twice since) - well, let me describe an encounter:
A young man pulls quickly into a handicap parking space. On top of the vehicle is a kayak, and on the back is a mountain bike. He LEAPS out of the car and starts to run into the store. I shout, "Hey! You!" He stops.
"Huh?" he says.
"Are you disabled?" I ask.
Uh, no, but..."
"Would you LIKE to be?"
"Uh, well, no..."
"Move the car." Long pause. "Now, please."
"Uh, oh, yeah, yeah, sure." He hops back in the car and moves it. I avoid using those spaces except on bad days; I've seen old folks who could barely get to the door have to walk a long way. It ticks me off. Oh - I'm 6'2" tall and a lifelong martial artist. :>) I'm also a debilitated, handicapped old fart now, and one of these days I'm gonna get my wrinkled old ass kicked pulling a stunt like this.
But so far so good...
