This seems to come up a lot lately.
Use MPEG Streamclip. You'll also need the,MPEG-2 Playback Component – $20 from Apple.
AppleMan1958 Oct 14, 2013 5:51 AM
in response to Cartoonguy
Here are detailed instructions for using MPEG Streamclip for this. I wrote this for iMovie, so you might choose a ProRes codec over Apple Intermediate Codec, but other than that, these instructions should work for you.
Cartoonguy Nov 1, 2013 11:25 AM
in response to Russ H
Sorry for the late response to my own question! So I tried Mpeg Streamclip and I found that using Apple Pro Res 422, I got a huge 7GB file for 11 minutes and the quality was worse than the original. That is, on frame by frame inspection, I could notice significant distortion on some, but not all frames.
Can you suggest a codec to use that will simply give me no less quality than on the DVD, but not make a file that is way bigger than the DVD was? Any other Mpeg Streamclip settings to note as well?
Russ H Nov 1, 2013 2:02 PM
in response to Cartoonguy
The Pro Res file is much larger because it uses intra-frame compression.It is a codec meant for editing, not delivery. Transcoding should not produce a detectable drop in quality,; however it cannot add quality to something that is deficient in that department.
Describe in detail how you are comparing "frame by frame".
Also describe the equipment and connections you used to rip the DVD,
Cartoonguy Nov 1, 2013 5:28 PM
in response to Russ H
Here's a screen grab of the same frame from the DVD and then from the file encoded with Mpeg Streamclip using Pro Res and Apple Intermediate (they both looked much the same). Notice the distortion and the weaker colour.

Looks like it's been scaled. What are the complete specs of the media?
Russ H Nov 1, 2013 6:04 PM
in response to Cartoonguy
You didn't provide any more details on how you ripped from the DVD.
Cartoonguy Nov 1, 2013 6:12 PM
in response to Russ H
Oops, you're right. Sorry. I used an app called ripit to create a copy of the DVD on my hard drive. It's a package with the .vob files inside, so still needs to be encoded to edit. It's from that file that I am getting the screen grab in the previous post. Then I used Mpeg Streamclip to do the encode I already talked about.
If you're wondering why I am not using Mpeg Streamclip to copy directly from the DVD, it's because the DVD has encryption. I know, that sounds like I'm ripping copyright material, but it's my own material that's on a commercial DVD. Long story, but it is my own material. Just to be clear.

The media is 16x9 SD DVD, so I used 854 x 480 to get it output 16x9 and I de-interlaced. If I used the unscaled option, it outputs at 4:3 rather than 16x9, but in any case, I tried that to check the quality and it looks much the same. That is, not good.
Tom Wolsky Nov 4, 2013 2:58 AM
in response to Cartoonguy
That's wrong. You should use 720x480 anamorphic, which is what the original file should be if it was correctly made. I can't say what rip it is doing but that's the way it works.

I don't know Ripit either and I can't tell much by going to their website. It could be their product's processing.
Check the quality in Streamclip (or VLC) before export. If it looks ok, skip de-interlacing and see if that's better. If you need to, you can always do that later.
Cartoonguy Nov 4, 2013 6:37 AM
in response to Russ H
The images I already posted are from the DVD after it was ripped to disk by Ripit, so it can't be Ripit causing the problem or the file would be distorted before I convert from the ripped DVD. I can try without de-interlace, but if I do, what are you suggesting for fixing that later? Is it wise to do yet another process to the file rather than all at once?
Tom Wolsky Nov 4, 2013 9:28 AM
in response to Cartoonguy
Would need to know the exact specs of the RipIt media. It might be in a non-standard format, which is causing the problem. Also the media hasn't been converted properly in Streamclip. Can you post a piece of the ripIt media somewhere?

I don't see the option to use "anamorphic", so it comes out 4:3. How do I fix that?
In terms of Ripit's involvement in the process, I have also tried this using Streamclip, direct from a DVD and get the same results, so for all intents, Ripiit is not a factor here. I only use it to get the encrypted DVD on to my drive (see earlier note about the material being my own work!).
The distortion I see seems to coincide where interlace shows the most distortion too, so I'm figuring this may be related to de-interlacing, but I do need to de-interlace, so how do I get around that? Here's the same image from the non-interlace output. Otherwise, the Streamclip copy looks good, but stil need to deal with interlace.

in response to Big D!Start with http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1541
Incidently, updating/upgrading without a bootable backup/clone on an ext HD precludes being able to simply revert to a good known state and isn't in line with best practices. See these for details:
Vespoli Oct 10, 2008 5:41 AM
in response to Big D!Getting the exact same issue. Is this widespread? ***?
aaronbur Oct 16, 2008 10:20 AM
in response to Big D!Same cases here, ran the 10.5.5 Security update, rebooted and now it is stuck in a loop. Cleared PRAM, Repaired Disk Permissions with no luck
Mac Pro 4x2.8 Xeon with 4 GiB RAM
OS X Server 10.5.5
Daithi378 Oct 16, 2008 2:07 PM
in response to aaronburSame problem with my MacBook. I updated to 10.5.5 and now I am in an endless reboot loop.
Need to try to find my bootup DVD...
aaronbur Oct 20, 2008 10:17 AM
in response to aaronburHere is what I have tried so far...
Reset PMU, no change
removed motherboard battery and left for 15 mins, no change
Ran extended apple hardware test, no errors found
removed some RAM, moved RAM to different slots, no change
tried drive in identical machine, same result, spinning wheel, then reboots
I was able to boot into single user mode and check the software update log, every update, including the most recent one says installed. I dont know if that means that it started to install and never finished, or that it completely installed.
I think I can rule out hardware problems. I am going to look into the startup sequence and try to see if something is hanging or missing.
I will post back my results.
Daithi378 Oct 20, 2008 12:57 PM
in response to aaronburHad to revert back to 10.5.4 using the install DVD and my Time Machine image. Nothing else worked.
I will take my MacBook into my local Apple Store at the weekend and let you know what they report.
Vespoli Oct 22, 2008 5:25 PM
in response to Daithi378Daithi - any luck/info? I can't even boot into safe mode or boot from the OS DVD. Am I alone on this? I use time machine so I'd have no problem reinstalling the OS and restoring, but I can't get in to do so. Help!
stere0 Nov 12, 2008 6:42 AM
in response to Big D!Same problem here. Just got a brand new MacBook Pro (late 2008) after my first one died. Luckily I had a time machine backup. I recover my last system using Time Machine. After a reboot my (brand new) system boots and reboots immediately after 2 seconds. I do not even see the Apple logo.
My fix: boot from Mac OS X installation CD. Reinstall os and everything works fine. After seeing the number of posts complaining about this update I will wait until things settle.
david koff Nov 18, 2008 5:57 PM
in response to Big D!I FOUND A SOLUTION.
+ booting from another LEOPARD device and applying the 10.5.5 COMBO update.
+ repairing permissions via disk utility
+ rebooting
SethHester Nov 19, 2008 6:23 AM
in response to Big D!The simplest method that can end a reboot loop is to boot into Safe mode. Give that a shot.
Toon Lenaerts Nov 19, 2008 1:59 PM
in response to SethHesterSame problem here. After the update the computer started normal, but the battery wasn't charging when it should be. Restarting brought it in the loop.
This is the second time I encounter such a loop after an update... I hope it didn't ruin my battery, as it did before (no hard evidence, could be coincidence)
Toon Lenaerts Nov 19, 2008 2:00 PM
in response to Toon LenaertsBtw, I can't get it into safe mode.
mikeangus Nov 21, 2008 12:24 AM
in response to stere0I'm having the same issue. I have a new late 2008 MBP and made a Time Machine backup from my early 2008 MBP. The new one was working until I restored from the Time Machine backup using the Leopard disk. Now I'm in the endless reboot loop, can't reset PRAM, SRC reset doesn't help, and I can't even boot to the Leopard disk anymore. I can't enter single-user mode, safe mode, or target mode to do anything.
SethHester Nov 21, 2008 6:32 AM

Corona del Mar homes star in charity tour
CORONA DEL MAR There was a line almost all the way down the street to see the house on Heliotrope Avenue.
With an aquarium built into the countertop and artwork done by the homeowner herself, it was easily a favorite among the six homes that were visited by about 1,500 people as part of the Corona del Mar PTA's 40th Annual Home Tour Fundraiser on Tuesday.
Attendees walked through luxurious homes that ranged from about $2 million to $3 million in value, all day in between tasty meals, shopping and a raffle, all for $75.
The day-log event is the PTA's only fundraiser of the year and raised close to $200,000, with some of the funds still to be counted.
The money will go to Corona del Mar High School and Middle School classroom materials that teachers can apply for with grants. Last year's tour raked in $200,000, some of which went to funding a new college center for the campus.
Michele Caston, a PTA member, said that the homes that are featured in the tour don't necessarily have to be huge or on the water. They just have to stand out from the rest and provide some talking points for the attendees.
"I like things that are special and unique," Caston said. "If I'm wowed by it everyone else will be too."
Several of the featured homes had a beach feel – whether it was because they were nearly on the water or they paid homage to it with beach accents such as sea shells or succulents. Several homes used wood and neutral colors in their decorating schemes with splashes of bright yellows or greens and included additions like home theaters and modern fireplaces.
The group took a break from touring homes for lunch and shopping at the Sherman Gardens and Library. Members of the Corona del Mar High School jazz band while attendees enjoyed grilled chicken sandwiches, pasta and fruit prepared by local chef Pascal.
Mary Pat Earl, whose children go to Corona del Mar High, said she likes to attend the event because it gives her a chance to peek into other people's homes while supporting the schools.
"I like to get design and architecture ideas," she said.
Caston said they are already in the planning phase for the 2014 home tour. If you're interested in having your home featured, contact Corona del Mar High School at 949-515-6000.

Sold individually. This part is located beneath the element and catches any spills.
Removed the two screws holding the heating element to the back of the oven. Pulled the wires away from the connections of the old element and connected the new element. Reinstalled the screws holding the element to the back of the oven. Easiest repair I've ever done! Replaced the drip pans on the cook top and installed the new clock knobs. Good as new!
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Pulled out the electric element from the range, replaced the new drip bowl on three of the burners and then replaced the electric element pushing it into the hold down clip. On the fourth burner, I removed the electric outlet, the previous incorrect drip bowl and had to drill out the broke off hold down clip that was no longer there. Next I placed the new hold down clip in position, alligned and fed the little screw through the hold down clip. I used a vice grip to hold the nut in place and with a screw driver tighened the nut. I placed the drip bowl in place, attached the electric element and slipped it into the new hold down clip. Everything went smoothly and I experienced an excellent repair job. We received prompt service and had no problems. I just hope the used appliance that we bought works now. It looks great. It is for a rental unit.
Replaced old drip pans with new ones - very easy - even a 68 yr old lady can do it!!
We love our Jenn-Air electric range that we have owned since 1983 and couldn't get parts from where we bought it recently. We called around to Sears and other appliance dealers and they couldn't help us. We found your company searching on the internet and we are very much pleased with your parts listing and your great service. We will be back. Jody and Mike Hayden, Eden, Vt.
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires, connected the new element using the wire caps, and finished bye rescrewing the element backinto place.

Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway is a glamorous Hollywood actress that has an impressive list of credits to her name. Anne Hathaway has been forced to endure media scrutiny due to the criminal behavior of her now-ex boyfriend Raffaello Rollieri.
She's been looking forward to motherhood for years and now Anne Hathaway has given birth to her very first child with husband Adam Shulman.
The "Princess Diaries" dame welcomed baby boy Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman on March 24th and mother and son are doing just fine.
It seems that Hollywood has been on a nostalgic kick as of late, and director Gary Marshall is looking to add a third film to the "Princess Diaries" franchise.
The iconic helmsman told press he's aiming to get Anne Hathaway back on board for the hat trick, however she's not available quite yet.
Following up the success of 2010's "Alice in Wonderland," Walt Disney Pictures is gearing up for the release of "Alice Through The Looking Glass" with an incredible new promotional trailer.
Starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter, the forthcoming flick is slated to hit theaters on May 27th, 2016.
She's thrilled to be on the road to motherhood, and over the weekend Anne Hathaway posted a pretty preggers beach photo as a means of beating the paparazzi to the punch.
The 33-year-old "Dark Knight Rises" dame looks fabulous in a tiny red bikini as she smiles for the camera while posing along the sea shore.
She's been married to Adam Shulman since September 2012 and now Anne Hathaway is pregnant with her first child.
According to an E! News source, the "Dark Knight Rises" dame is in her second trimester and she's "feeling great."
It's an exciting time for movie fans, as Walt Disney Pictures just rolled out a batch of character posters for "Alice Through the Looking Glass."
Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp and Sacha Baron Cohen all look outstanding in their respective getups, ahead of the May 27th, 2016 theatrical date.
Giving the people what they want, Walt Disney Pictures just unleashed a fantastic full-length trailer for the forthcoming "Alice Through the Looking Glass" film.
Starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen, the exciting new flick will take over theaters on May 27th, 2016.
Kicking off the week with some promotional duties, Anne Hathaway headed over to the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan on Monday night (September 21).
Joined by her costar Robert DeNiro, the "Dark Knight Rises" dame had all eyes on her as she plugged the New York City premiere of her new film "The Intern," sporting a sexy black dress.
With plenty of awards and memorable roles to her credit, Anne Hathaway is fully aware of the realities of the Hollywood film industry.
In her new cover story for the October 2015 issue of Glamour UK, the "Les Miserables" star explains, "I hate to admit it, but it's true -- there are fewer roles and the competition is just as fierce as ever. I look around at my peers and I'm so blown away by their talent and their beauty and their cool style, as well as their ability to be an actress and be a movie star and be good at it. I mean, they're so good and we're all trying to get the same parts."
She's definitely experienced her fair share of ups and downs, and Anne Hathaway is sitting pretty on the front page of the September 2015 issue InStyle magazine.
In her interview, the "Dark Knight Rises" dame explains that while she's happy as can be these days, it hasn't always been so easy- "There was a stretch of my life when I wasn't comfortable being myself. I didn't think I was good enough. So I pretended to be someone I wasn't. I'm so over that now. I just try to be my best self all the time, with some notable late-night lapses."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Yep, I got out of it because I was pregnant. I didn't even get to the "twins" part when they dismissed me, because apparantly they don't have time for a pregnant woman to pee every 30 minutes during a trial!
Also, if you check out our Excel Spreadsheet thread, you'll see this groups delivery stats. And depending on the types of twins you are carrying, the delivery window is typically no more than 36 weeks for mo/di twins, and no more than 38 weeks for di/di twins based on research showing the safest times to deliver those types of twins. (Mo/mo twins are a whole different ballgame and you'd be in the hospital at 24 weeks for those regardless).

They won't pick you. Tell the judge you are due soon and he'll let you off. You will have to go for that one day though.
I got out of it. I went that one day and told the judge that I had 6 month old twins at home, no family here, and no one to watch the kids and he said that I was excused. Just be honest.

Building foundations constantly shifting. Workers disrespect tenant property, leave your apartment door open or unlocked. Little to no guest parking. No high speed(25+Mbps) internet access available. Dishwasher barely works. Slow response time from management, even with hazardous situations. Packages get stolen. Rain leaks through ceilings. Random vandalism. The only positives are the location and the price, but even though the price is lower than other places, you pay for it in other ways.

A relative of mine actually had to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because the leasing management had left her door WIDE OPEN after a work order while she was away for a month. The cops came to investigate why the unit was not secure, and even then the management did not lock her door or contact her. So basically, she was paying rent for a place that had the door open for a whole month! Their response when she came home to find her apartment open and full of bugs: Oops. That's it. No recompense, nothing. Not surprisingly, management has not responded to the BBB investigation (seriously, look it up on BBB, it's awful). I can say more, but this takes the cake on all the incompetent and outright apathetic horse$%*& they have dealt her.

Parking is horrible. You pay $1600 and you only get one assigned spot. If you stay out past 10pm you more then likely wont get a spot. Something breaks every month. We had termite infestation. It took them 5 days to take care it. There lot of noisy kides out after 4. Not a great place if your a young working professional or like to go out.

The doors to Harrogate International Nursery Fair 2016 closed today on another successful event and the organisers would like to thank all of the exhibitors, retailers and buyers who turned up to support the show. There were lots of interesting new products on display and we hope that you found some great new lines to offer your customers in coming months. Ian Davidson of Babyliscious based in Liverpool, who attends Harrogate every year, commented: "The show this year had a lovely relaxed feel was easy to get around with no rushing from stand to stand or waiting for appointments. There were loads of new items to see an plenty of pick up lines and gift ideas such as the MatchstickMonkey, Little Saints Benbat Collection and Tidy Freaks car travel accessories to name a few. It was lovely too meet new exhibitors from far and wide and also see some old names back again such as Navington, X-lander and Storksak. There were some great offers from many exhibitors and amazing new colourways from EGG. I saw so many beautiful changing bags and a whole lot more exciting new Polish designs, plus strollers, bedding and accessories from Europe that have not been before. We spent over two days at the show and we still did not fit it all in properly. Anyone who attended for just a few hours must have missed an awful lot of amazing new products." Business appears to have been brisk all round with many exhibitors pleased to have seen not only the majority of major buyers who attend the show each year, but a good turnout of new independent retailers too. Claire Mitchell of Chillipeeps – an innovative teat which attaches to bottles and cartons, said: "We've had a great show and have seen a lot more independents this year than we did in 2015. In fact we took more orders just on Sunday than we did for the entire duration of the show last year!" The dates for next year's show will be announced soon and the organising team looks forward to welcoming exhibitors and visitors back to Harrogate in 2017.

Latest News: New dates for Harrogate 2017
Harrogate international Nursery Fair has announced its show dates for next year as Tuesday 28th March to Thursday 30th March 2017, opening mid-week for the very first time.
Adrian Sneyd, show organiser explains: "Times have changed and whilst the show historically always opened on a Sunday for independent retailers who generally closed for the day, Sunday is now a busy trading day. The overall consensus from everyone participating in the show is that mid-week opening works best. We also talked to the organisers of Toy Fair who confirmed that a similar change in days boosted visitors numbers for…

The present invention relates generally to an illumination system in a document copying machine and more particularly, to a full-frame, flash illumination system utilizing an integrating cavity as the light housing.
As demands for faster copying and duplicating have increased, conventional machines which scan documents in incremental fashion to provide a flowing image on a xerographic drum have proved inadequate. New high speed techniques have evolved which utilize flash exposure of an entire document (full-frame) and the arrangement of a moving photoconductor in a flat condition at the instant of exposure.
In prior art flash illumination systems, the illumination at the document plane can be generally characterized as either wholly specular, or partially specular, partially diffuse. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,777,135; 3,586,849 and 3,669,538 are typical or optical systems of the former type. In each of the disclosed systems, light from a plurality of flash lamps is directly reflected, by means of reflective elements partially enclosing the lamps, toward the object to be illuminated, i.e. a document lying on a platen. Light reflected from the document passes through a lens to be focused onto the image plane. However, a significant portion of the light generated by the light source is absorbed by the housing walls or passes out of the illumination area prior to, and following incidence on, the platen. These illumination losses reduce the amount of light reaching the lens and, therefore, to achieve adequate exposure, a plurality of high intensity light sources utilizing large and costly power supplies are required.
Significant gains in illumination efficiency can be obtained if the light sources are enclosed within an integrating cavity whose walls are made of, or coated with, a nearly diffuse reflecting material. The theoretical implications of diffusely illuminating an object by causing multiple reflections within an "integrating sphere is set forth in Principles of Optics, pp. 278-283, (McGraw Hill, 1932)." It is therein disclosed that, if the interior wall of a sphere is coated with a white, diffusely reflecting material with high reflectance, multiple reflections within the sphere produce an almost uniform diffuse illumination of an object plane. Copier illumination systems as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,697,177 (Booth); 3,498,715 (Gold) and 3,428,397 (Elmer) have attempted to utilize this principle with varying degrees of success. A diffusely reflecting integrating cavity has also been used to achieve uniform fixing of a developed zerographic image as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,529,129 (Rees).
The Gold and Elmer references are representative of optical systems which illuminate an object plane with light that is both diffuse and specular. In Gold, a pair of lamps are partially enclosed by baffles with reflective interiors. The lamps directly illuminate the object plane with increased illumination directed towards the end of the support by the baffles and by diffuse reflecting surfaces located above the lamps. The housing, however, is not a true integrating cavity since the chamber is not wholly enclosed and many areas are blackened to achieve the specific purposes set forth in the disclosure.
Elmer also uses a pair of lamps partially enclosed by specular reflective elements. A pair of side walls opposite the reflectors provide a first primary diffuse reflection of light from the opposing light source. The end walls provide a second specular reflection of the diffuse incident thereon. This arrangement provides illumination at the object plane which is substantially diffuse and with greater intensity at the edges.
The Booth reference has a pair of light sources which are contained in the upper compartment of a two chamber cavity. Direct rays from the light sources are prevented from going through the lens by making the bottom chamber of narrowed cross-section so the top edges intercept the direct rays. The interior housing walls are coated with a diffuse reflecting material except for a darkened area on one of the walls. The object plane is illuminated by direct light from the lamps and diffuse illumination after multiple reflections from the cavity walls.
The present invention utilizes a single flash lamp located in an integrating cavity, the lamp having a relatively short length. Uniform diffuse illumination is provided at a document plane of sufficient intensity to obtain satisfactory imaging at a photoreceptor. The invention, in effect, fully realizes and utilizes the superior irradiance efficiency permitted by a properly designed integrating cavity. The lamp, in one embodiment, is partially enclosed by a blocker element which serves to prevent light flashes from being viewed above the platen. An additional blocker element is positioned between the lamp and the lens for purposes hereinafter described.
It will be appreciated that use of a single flash light source of relatively small dimensions yields significant savings relative to prior art elongated, multi-lamp configurations. Savings in power supply costs and mounting and reflector arrays are obtained. Lower voltage operating conditions may permit use of relatively inexpensive electrolytic capacitors. Simplicity of design is achieved since the single light source can be optimized independent of the cavity and can be easily manufactured because of non-critical tolerances.
It is therefore an object of this invention to increase the efficiency of optical systems by using a single flash lamp source within an integrating cavity chamber.
It is a further object to simplify design and manufacture of the flash system components.
It is a still further object to provide a flash illumination system which prevents direct flashes from being visible to an operator in an open platen mode of operation.
These objects are accomplished according to the invention by providing an enclosed light housing having top and bottom surfaces accommodating a document platen and lens respectively, and having connecting side walls, the interior surfaces of said housing being completely coated with a high, diffusely, reflective material. A single illumination source positioned in a first embodiment within the housing is intermittently pulsed and the flash illumination, after undergoing one or more substantially diffuse reflections from the housing walls, uniformly and diffusely irradiates the platen.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the illumination housing of the present invention showing the single flash lamp configuration.
FIG. 2 is a perspective partial view of the housing showing a preferred blocker element arrangement.
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the housing showing an alternate lamp location.
Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a first embodiment of an integrating optical cavity containing a single flash lamp according to the invention.
A completely enclosed housing 10, generally rectangular in shape, has a first pair of opposing side walls 12, 14 and a second pair of opposing side walls 16, 18. An upper, or top wall 20 includes a rectangular aperture 22 which, at the center thereof, accommodates a glass platen 24 forming the object plane. the platen may have a hinged cover (not shown) which may be pivoted upward to permit open platen copying of materials such as books.
The lower, or bottom, wall 30 has an aperture 32 therein which accommodates a circular lens housing 34. An image plane 36 which may be, for example, a photoconductive sheet to which a charge has been applied is positioned for exposure to light reflected from a document platen 24 and transmitted by lens 34. the projected light image selectively discharges the photoconductive sheet resulting in formation of a latent electrostatic image thereon.
Mounted in the lower half of side wall 16 by bracket 40 is flash illumination source 42, which is of relatively short length compared to the platen length in the same direction. Source 42 in a preferred embodiment is a lamp consisting of an envelope containing Xenon gas and a pair of electrodes at each end which are not elec-trically connected to each other. The lamp is connected to pulsing triggering circuitry (not shown) which may consist of a DC power supply connected across a storage capacitor which in turn is connected to the flash lamp through an inductor. When the pulsing circuit is activated, the lamp undergoes a gas breakdown resulting in a flash of appropriate duration. In operation, the lamp is periodically energized in timed relation to the movement of image plane 36 past the lens.
The interior walls of the cavity (12, 14, 16, 18, and 30) have substantially diffuse reflecting surfaces resulting from coating the interior wall surfaces with a high reflectivity (90%) material. Paints such as Celanese polyester thermal setting paint No. 741-13 or Glidden Enamel No. 424-W-02100 in cellosolve acetate thinner have been found to be acceptable materials.
Barrel 34a of lens housing 34 is similarly coated. The surfaces of the platen may be coated, if desired with an anti-reflection material such as Mg F2 or a multi-layer anti-reflective material. As is well known in the art, this material will prevent any platen-derived specular reflection from entering the lens.
According to the present invention, and as shown in FIG. 2, a first blocker element 43 is mounted above lamp 42 and secured to wall 16 by screws 43a fastened through end portion 44. Blocker 43 projects at a slight downward angle relative to wall 16 and is of sufficient width and length to prevent direct light from lamp 42 from being viewed from any portion of platen 24. The top and bottom surfaces of blocker 43 may be coated with the same diffusely reflective material as that applied to the cavity interior.
A second thin blocker element 45 is secured to bottom wall 30 and projects upwardly and laterally a sufficient distance to prevent direct light from lamp 42 from reaching lens 34. Element 45 is of generally rectangular shape except for the omission of the upper corners.
The surfaces of blocker 45 may be coated with the same reflecting material which comprises the coating for the internal cavity walls.
Referring again to FIG. 2, an efficient flash illumination system is realized when utilizing a Xenon lamp with an overall length of between 12.7 and 17.8 cm and producing a nominal energy of 40 joules at a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm. The lamp, as shown, is mounted approximately 1/3 the height of wall 16 but other locations are possible dependent upon system requirements (so long as the lamp remains outside of the lens field of view). As a practical matter, the closer the lamp is mounted to the top surface of the housing the more difficult it becomes to provide uniform illumination at the surface of the platen overlying the blocker 43.
Blocker elements 43 and 45 can be constructed of any light weight opaque material such as aluminum. The purpose of blocker 43 is to protect an operator from direct flash illumination in situations where the job requirements call for an open platen. The blocker should therefore be of sufficient length and width to completely block a view of the lamp from any point on the platen. The function of blocker 45 is two-fold: to prevent direct light from lamp 42 from entering the lens and for preventing a "hot spot" of intense illumination from forming. The "hot spot", in the absence of the blocker would result from the direct light striking in front of the lens surface by light reflecting downward from the bottom of blocker 43.
It may be desirable, for certain applications, that blockers 43 and/or 45 be translucent. For example, when documents having a relatively large amount of grey background areas are to be copied, the light reflecting from these dark areas only partially discharge the charge on the photoreceptor image plane. The image of opaque blocker element 44 reflected from the partially reflecting platen is in these circumstances, visable as a superimposition on the partially discharged image plane. Making the blocker translucent greatly reduces the unwanted blocker image.
Because of the relatively close positioning of blockers 43 and 45 to the lamp, the diffusely reflecting surfaces facing the lamp may, for some systems, inefficiently direct light to the interior walls. It may, therefore, be desirable to make the blocker surfaces facing the lamp of a specular reflecting material such as polished aluminum.
FIG. 3 shows an alternate embodiment of an integrating cavity wherein illumination source 60 of approximately the same dimensions as source 42 is contained within a recess 62 of side wall 16. In this case, the source which again can be a Xenon lamp, would be partially enclosed by a specular reflector 66. If the lamp is sufficiently recessed so that it is not visible from the platen, blocker elements corresponding to 43 and 45 in FIGS. 1 and 2 will not be required. For this configuration, it may be desirable to add a specular reflective strip 68 in wall 18 to achieve the desired irradiation at the platen. Strip 68 can be of brushed aluminum of a height approximately the exit slit of the recess.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that integrating cavity 10 is constructed to approximate an integrating sphere and hence is beneficiary to the increase in irradiance which is characteristic of such a construction. The increase is best explained by using, as an example, a point source of radiant energy which is irradiating an elemental surface at some given distance from the source. The irradiation incident upon the surface is of a magnitude Eo. If, without changing the intensity of the source or the distance that the elemental surface is positioned from the source, the source is now enclosed within the spherical reflector, a resulting new irradiance, E at the elemental surface is produced. Multiple reflections inside the sphere have greatly increased the irradiance at the elemental surface and a gain factor of E to Eo becomes a function of the average reflectivity of the sphere.
Applying this theoretical analysis to cavity 10, it will become apparent that when source 42 is pulsed and caused to flash, light is directed against the cavity walls, and after undergoing multiple reflections from all interior surfaces, produces a near-uniform diffuse illumination at the platen. Significantly, light reflected from the document itself and not directly entering the lens will undergo additional reflections and contribute further to platen irradiance. The illumination system is thus operated at maximum efficiency permitting the use of much smaller, lower energy flash lamps than were heretofore thought possible.

Filets, How to Do Filets (Or Other Steaks) in the Oven
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is a method, not a recipe. I posted this in answer to a forum request from Bobbie #3. She was pleased with the way it worked and suggested the method might be a help to others. I have no clue as to where I picked up these directions. NOTE: Zaar insists on an ingredients list. Please disregard and just do your own thing. This is a METHOD, not a recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 steaks
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and pepper
- other seasoning, to your taste
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium skillet, heat the canola oil until it is very hot.
- A cast iron frying pan, if you have one, works particularly well.
- Season the filets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sauté the filets briefly on each side in the hot oil, about 1 minute per side. Just get them nice and brown.
- Place the pan with the filets directly into the oven and roast for about 5-7 minutes for medium rare.
- Type of steak, oil, seasonings and degree of doneness are all up to your individual taste.

Jezski (Janet), Thanks for rescuing me with this cooking method. I had heard steaks could be browned and finished off in the oven -- but had no clue what the steps were. Your instructions were perfect -- and our filets were the best EVER!!!! I had very, very thick steaks and just knew I couldn't cook them the way we liked if I tried to do it all on the stove top. The steaks were a nice rich brown on the outside, but still pink and oh, so moist on the inside. I did use unsalted butter to brown the steaks in -- because that's what the recipe called for. There is also a sauce that is cooked after the steaks are done to serve over the meat. The skillet had such wonderful drippings and made the sauce better than it's ever been before. Thank you again for answering my "cry for help" in the Forum -- and a huge thank you for posting your cooking method for others to try.
Great steak! Hey, I hear that cigars pair well with a proper steak and fine cognac. But I'm thinking more along the lines of a Snicker's bars and a Margarita.
Excellent! I used butter. When it was done, I sauteed garlic in the pan drippings and put on top of steak. So delicious!

The formal dining room of Ozarka College was the setting for and "Afternoon Tea" for teen girls from Cornerstone Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant.
Hosted by Joyce Goff, the tea gave the girls an opportunity to learn the history and etiquette of afternoon tea.
A music special was presented by NiKole Thornton, also from Cornerstone Baptist Church.
Tea delights such as chicken salad and cucumber tea sandwiches, pastel petit fours, brownie bites, mini blueberry and strawberry cheesecake muffins, banana nut muffins, teapot shaped sugar cookies, cheesecake squares, oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies and chocolate dipped strawberries were served from the antique buffet and placed on tables covered with mint green table cloths. Vintage china tea sets with silver spoons and lace tea napkins were provided by Goff.
Hot tea selections included country peach passion, strawberry, raspberry and cranberry-apple zingers, black cherry berry, tangerine-orange and chocolate caramel enchantment.
At the conclusion of the tea Goff gave a challenge to each young lady to incorporate the tea party into their lives as a means of serving others for the glory of God.


text: Pennsylvania Broadway Limited 18" Aluminum 4-Pack Pennsylvania Broadway Limited - Speed And Luxury With StyleWhen launched in 1912 the Broadway Limited name associated the train with the glamour of Manhattan's theater district, just a block from Penn Station. Soon, wanting to soften the New York image, the Pennsy began advertising the train in other cities as the "Broad Way Limited" claiming the name derived from the railroad's broad four-track right of way. That bit of marketing spin has stuck.Either way, Broadway Limited became synonymous with speed, luxury and style, never more so than the decade from 1938 to 1948 when Raymond Loewy's streamlined tuscan and gold design decorated a new passenger fleet. Loewy's complementary K-4 locomotive debuted in bronze for the 1936 World's Fair, then was painted Brunswick Green for the Broadway Limited.

As SL 4.0 has got video and Mic support...
How feasible it is to provide VOIP functionality (real time voice streaming across max of 5 users) over Silverlight 4.0, for a web based application?
What all are the related challenges?
A part of the solution has recently been provided in the form of CSpeex, a port of an old Java port of an old version of Speex (c. 2003). I've played around with it, and it definitely works (e.g., 10x or better compression). However, you'll still need to stream those packets up to a server somewhere, and there don't appear to be any Silverlight implementations of RTP/RTSP/SIP or RTMP, so at this point you'd have to roll your own network stream container support. Also, unless you want to make all your users wear headphones, you're going to want acoustic echo cancellation, and that's another ballgame altogether. There are some very good open source implementations (e.g., speexdsp), but they're all straight C, and hard to port. So you're on your own there as well. There are likely going to be some open source answers to all this over the next few months/years, but the pieces aren't in place yet.
A lot depends on how the new SL4 mic/video support is implemented. You would need to include code that is capable of
I believe SL4 has some COM support planned, so if there are any open source (or paid) unmanaged C++ VOIP or audio-encoding libraries out there, you might be able to hook into them.
There are multiple libraries that one can use. For example: conaito, ABTO llc, IndependentSoft SIP, that will work with Silverlight 4.0. Conaito and ABTO use java scripting to link into their web client, whilst IndependentSoft have a managed assembly.
Conaito and ABTO are good but their libraries are a bit outdated due to them being ocx's and using COM dll's which may break your deployment.
IndedenpentSoft is easier to deploy because it's managed code, but requires quite a lot more work to implement as it basically provides a transport layer and thats it, you have to specify the codec's and trnasport protocol.
The main issues you need to consider are your firewall requirements. My suggestion would be to look for a managed assembly thats uses STUN, TURN and especially ICE.

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
