1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to an arrangement for compensating the weight of a displaceable component, such as a component used in the examination of a subject in a medical examination apparatus.
2. Description of the Prior Art
This type of weight compensating arrangement is employed in an X-ray examination apparatus with a target device which can be rotated around an axis together with an allocated mounting plate. The target device can also be displaceable along the mounting plate. This type of target device has a large dead weight and so requires a weight compensating arrangement, so that it is not displaced by gravity given a displacement of the mounting plate from the horizontal into the vertical, for example. Such target devices have a mass of approximately 200 to 350 kg. A displacement therefore requires the application of a large physical force. For this reason, in these types of tilting-table examination devices, the counterweight of the target device is compensated with an equally large counterweight, and a motorized support is provided for the displacement. The motorized drive of the support, which is switched on and off in the handle of the target device, for example, designed to overcome only the frictional forces of the system, which is weight-balanced in all device positions, so that the manual force required of the operator for displacing the target device is very small. It is a disadvantage that the total weight of the radiography device is increased by the counterweight, and effective collision protection requires a high outlay due to the large masses to be moved, because of their mass inertia. Solutions are known for reducing the mass of the counterweight wherein the counterweight is fixedly arranged at a long lever arm of a lever system with two arms, a spring also engaging the lever arm, and the force of the weight of the target device acts on at the shorter lever arm. This enables a mass reduction of the counterweight in proportion to the length of the lever arm. Counterweight balancing according to this principle is taught in German Utility Model 17 28 886, for example. A disadvantage of this apparatus is that the weight balancing is optimal only for a specific orientation of the tilting-table examination device at which the displacement forces for the target device are also minimal. In device positions which deviate from this, i.e. given a pivoted position which deviates from this optimal position, there is not an exact weight balancing, because the weight of the target device, which depends on the sine of the tilt angle, is balanced only for one position, namely this optional position. Although the mass can be appreciably reduced in this way, problems also arise in the collision protection due to the mass inertia, and in addition, measures are required in order to suppress the control loop oscillation of the motorized drive of the support, particularly at the beginning of a displacement, such oscillation being caused particularly by the spring. Given a constant drive power of the motorized drive of the support and an uncontrolled displacement speed, the problem arises that the displacement speed of the target device unintentionally depends on the tilt angle of the tilting-table examination device.
German OS 40 41 294 teaches a weight balancing arrangement which likewise has a weight-loaded lever arrangement for compensating the weight of the target device. One lever arm is weight-loaded, while the weight of the target device acts on the other lever arm. In this device as well, the weight of the target device is only compensated in a specific position (+90�). With this arrangement, it is possible to reduce the counterweight mass depending on the lever relations. For collision protection, force sensors are allocated to the lever arm, which generate a signal for deactivating the motorized drive of the support dependent on the excursion of the lever arm from the neutral position when the target device approaches an obstacle. This principle is unusable for real technical use in an examination device, however, because an excursion of the lever arm can occur given the tilting of the target device by the changing weight acting on the lever arrangement, even though the target device does not encounter an obstacle. Measures that involve great outlay are necessary to prevent the occurrence of an unintended deactivation of the motorized drive of the support.
German AS 21 04 509 teaches a support arrangement for the displacement of a target device in which the acting displacement force is detected in a handle of the target device according to magnitude and direction by high-resolution force sensors. These force sensors are biased with the weight of the total mass of the target device. Given a weight of 3500 N, great outlay is required to evaluate a displacement force that is usually in a range between 10 and 50 N, and to execute the corresponding control of the motorized drive of the support in a reproducible manner.
German PS 24 01 853 teaches a method wherein a force sensor signal is combined with a differentiating tachometer signal for purposes of achieving a control value for advancement of the target device, in order to achieve the lowest possible weight required for the displacement and to achieve a linear relation between the size of the displacement force acting at the target device and the torque of the support drive. The generated tachometer signal has a disturbing amplitude ripple which is amplified by differentiation of the signal. A smoothing of the signal by an integrator is not possible because the dynamic behavior of the support drive is very unfavorably affected by this. The cost of this known arrangement is increased by the necessity of providing a compensation winding for preventing the lever from reacting to the non-linearity of the tachometer signal. It is likewise unfavorable that the support drive is used for compensating the weight of the target device, for which purpose energy must be continuously supplied thereto.
An object of the present invention is to provide a weight compensating arrangement for a displaceable examination component of a medical system wherein an optimal weight compensation is always obtained, regardless of the apparatus orientation, with an optimally small weight increase of the medical system and given an optimally simple and thus economic structure.
The above object is achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a weight compensating arrangement for a displaceable examination component, such as in a medical examination system, having a lever arrangement and a controllable adjusting assembly which engages a first lever arm of the lever arrangement in order to exert a compensating force thereon for the weight of the component, which acts on the other lever arm of the lever arrangement.
It is an advantage of the invention that the weight compensating arrangement has a lever mechanism and a controllable adjusting device acting on a first lever arm of the support for producing a compensation force for the weight, which acts on the other lever arm. It is thus possible to forgo a counterweight for balancing the weight, since the controllable adjusting device produces this counter-force. This type of controllable adjusting device is considerably lighter than the necessary counterweight, so that the negative influence of the masses to be moved is appreciable reduced. Such a controllable adjusting device, moreover can be implemented in a structurally simple manner; the corresponding drive parts are standard parts and are thus not expensive.
The lever arrangement can have a first long arm and a second short arm, and the controllable adjusting device can engage the long arm, and the weight can engage the short arm, so that, depending on the lever ratio, only relatively little energy must be supplied to the controllable adjusting device in order to compensate the weight.
In a further embodiment, a force sensor is allocated to the lever arrangement and a control means is allocated to the controllable adjusting device, and the signal of the force sensor is fed to the control unit for actuating adjusting device to set the required compensation weight, so that the weight is always compensated, regardless of the pivoting of the examination means.
The same advantage is achieved by having the controllable adjusting device engage the lever arrangement via at least one elastic element and providing an excursion detector at the lever arrangement, the excursion detector generating a signal, depending on the excursion of the lever arrangement, which is fed to the control unit. On the basis of this signal an actuation of the controllable adjusting device to compensate the excursion of the lever arrangement can be effected. Force sensors with corresponding evaluation electronics need not be used. In particular, optical or inductive distance sensors or sensors which operate with sound or high frequency can be used, which generate an analog or digital signal.
Particularly advantageously, an electromechanical device can be used as the controllable adjusting device. Such a device is compact in structure and requires only a small control outlay.
The signal of the force sensor or of the excursion means also can be used for actuating a displacement assembly for the examination apparatus, which produces a supported displacement in the direction of the force acting on the examination apparatus at the operating handle, for example. Depending on the range of force acting on the force sensor or dependent on a first excursion range, the displacement assembly can be actuated and, if the first range of force or the first excursion range is/are exceeded, the controllable adjusting device can be actuated as well.
By allocating an acceleration sensor to the lever arrangement, an interruption of the control of the displacement assembly can occur depending on the signal of this sensor, so that collision protection is easily obtained.
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of an inventive weight compensating arrangement.
FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a medical device with a weight compensating arrangement according to FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a control circuit of the weight compensating arrangement according to FIG. 1.
The weight compensating arrangement illustrated in the figures in an exemplary embodiment is for an examination component 5 of a medical system. The weight compensating arrangement has a lever arrangement 1 and a controllable adjusting device 2 which acts on a first lever arm 3 in order to exert a compensating force Fk for the weight FG, which acts on the other lever arm 4. The controllable adjusting device 2, which is preferably an electromagnetic device, has a motor 6, with a transmission, if necessary, which engages the first lever arm 3 via a link, which can be a spindle, for example, preferably a self-locking spindle. To this end, as is illustrated in FIG. 1, the spindle 7 can engage one short leg of a U-shaped mounting block 8 which acts as a spindle nut, and which can be displaced along its longitudinal axis 9 by the motor 6. In the exemplary embodiment, the U-shaped mounting block 8 engages the first lever arm 3 via a resilient element 10 that is arranged at this short leg. A resilient displacement is thus possible for the lever arrangement 1. As also shown in the exemplary embodiment, an additional resilient element 11 engages the first lever arm 3 and at the other short leg of the U-shaped mounting block 8, which is remote from the spindle 7. The first lever arm 3 is thus mounted between the short legs of the U-shaped mounting block 8 by the resilient elements 10, 11. The resilient elements 10, 11 preferably are made of a helical spring material. The spring force of the resilient element 10, in particular, is adjusted such that it is at least equal to the weight FG of the examination component 5. The use of two resilient elements 10, 11 is necessary when, in a medical device illustrated in FIG. 2, for example, a tilting of the bearing mechanism 15 is possible from the horizontal into a head or foot position, for instance by a tilt angle in the range from −20� to +90�.
It is understood within the context of the invention that the U-shaped mounting block 8 acting as a spindle nut can be replaced by a simple plate-like link that can be displaced at the spindle 7, and that preferably engages the first lever arm 3 via the resilient element 10. This version is somewhat more economical; however, the resilient element 10 is loaded by pulling and pushing.
In a still more economical development, the spindle 7 can be displaced along its longitudinal axis 9 and engage the first lever arm 3 directly, via the resilient element 10, with its end that is remote from the motor 6. Such a version is sufficient when the bearing mechanism 15 can be displaced from the horizontal only in one direction, for example.
At the other short lever arm 4 of the lever arrangement 1, an additional spindle 12 is mounted, which preferably is constructed as a ball spindle and is in connection with the examination component 5 for transferring the weight FG into the lever arrangement 1, as shown in FIG. 2. For displacing the examination component 5, a displacement assembly 13 is provided which enables a displacement of the examination component 5 along the additional spindle 12. To this end, the displacement assembly 13, which is preferably electromechanically operated is connected with an element, such as a spindle nut, which engages the additional spindle 12. The desired displacement of the examination component 5 can be effected by the influence of a force at the operating handle 29. Under the influence of the force, direction-dependent contacts can be actuated. Given the closing of one of the contacts, for instance, an output signal x1 is fed to the excursion detection unit 17 as control signal for the displacement assembly 13. If none of the contacts are closed, for example, the weight compensation is activated via the controllable adjusting device 2.
As shown in FIG. 2 the examination component 5 has a bearing mechanism 15 for an examination subject, which can be pivoted around an axis 16 from the vertical direction (+90�) illustrated in FIG. 2 through a horizontal orientation into a tilt (−20�). The examination component 5 is, in the exemplary embodiment, a target device which can be displaced along the bearing mechanism 15 via the displacement assembly 13. In the vertical orientation of the bearing mechanism 15, the greatest weight FG acts on the lever arrangement 1 from the target device, so that the adjusting device 2 must be actuated for the purpose of exerting the necessary compensation force FK. Given the swivelling of the bearing mechanism 15 into the horizontal, the weight FG is reduced, so that a corresponding actuating of the adjustment device 2, to reduce the compensation force FK, must occur. An excursion detector 17 is provided for this purpose, which detects a weight-caused excursion of the lever arrangement 1, particularly of the first lever arm 3. This excursion detector 17 can detect the excursion of the lever arrangement 1 optically, inductively, with ultrasound, with an angle position indicator that is allocated to the lever arrangement 1, or with a distance sensor that operates with high frequency. The signal of the excursion detector 17 is fed to a control unit 18 that is detailed in FIG. 3, which actuates the adjustment device 2 to generate the required compensation force FK, so as to level (balance) the lever arrangement 1. An acceleration sensor which generates a signal whenever the target device contacts an obstacle also can be allocated to the lever arrangement 1, for example. In this case, a blocking (disabling) of the displacement assembly 13 occurs, or the target device is displaced in the opposite direction.
An excursion limiter 20 is also allocated to the lever arrangement 1, which limits excessive excursions of the lever arms 3,4 when, for example, a spiral spring breaks or the weight FG exceeds a predetermined value.
A more detailed description of the invention follows. Controlling of the weight compensation occurs with the two-armed lever arrangement 1 which is mounted in a fulcrum 21. Via the additional spindle 12, which is constructed as a ball spindle, the weight FG, which depends on the sine of the tilt angle of the bearing mechanism 15, is introduced at the location L1. This weight FG acts at the location L1 on the other lever arm 4 of a length L0 to L1 and is automatically counterbalanced with a controllable compensation force FK at the first lever arm 3 of a length L0-L4. It has proven advantageous for the ratio of the lever arms 3,4 to be in the range from 1:5 to 1:20, preferably >1:10. As a measurement term for this counterbalancing, the excursion (S0�ΔS0) for the first long lever arm 3 at the location L3 is determined. This excursion detector 17 is a sensor with a high sensitivity of 1.6 V/mm, for example, and delivers a linear output signal x1 depending on the excursion of the first lever arm 3. Force sensors could also be used here, though these are expensive in view of the required evaluation electronics. The introduction of the compensation force FK occurs at the location L4. In the counterbalanced state, the product of lever arm length L0-L4 and FK equals the product of lever arm length L0-L1 and FG. The output signal x1 of the excursion detector 17 is amplified in an amplifier 22 and is compared in a comparator 23 to a reference voltage Uref which represents the set point of the counterbalancing control loop and which defines a distance S0 between the excursion detector 17 and the first lever arm 3 at the location L3. A control deviation Δx controls a motor controller 24 of the motor 6 of the controllable adjusting device 2. The output signal x3 (which is preferably a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal) of the motor controller 24 controls the DC motor 6, which drives the spindle 7 (preferably a self-locking trapezoidal spindle) so that the resilient elements 10,11 are biased via the U-shaped mounting block 8 so that the resulting force at the location L4 puts the first lever arm 3 into the counterbalanced state S0.The self-locking trapezoidal spindle 7 mechanically "stores" the compensation force FK, even if a voltage is not fed to the motor controller 24. This counterbalancing control loop automatically controls all changes of the weight FG which act at the location L1. The proper counterbalancing is indicated to a control computer 25 with the signal x6.
To effect a displacement of the examination component 5, an operating handle 29 is provided which acts on direction control contacts. When the operating handle 29 is displaced into a specific position, a direction control contact is activated, and an output signal x1 is fed to the excursion detector 17 as a control reference for the displacement assembly 13. If a direction control contact is not activated, then the weight compensating means is activated.
A servocontrol loop for the target device's longitudinal displacement is described below. The output signal x1 of the excursion detector 17 can also serve for purposes of detecting a force acting at the examination means 5 for purposes of its displacement with reference to its direction in that, depending on the force, an excursion of the lever arrangement 1 and thus a modification of the output signal x1 occurs. In the exemplary embodiment, a deactivation signal x7 is delivered by the control computer 25 to the motor controller 24, and an activation signal x14 is delivered to a displacement motor controller 27 for the electromechanical displacement assembly 13. The output signal x1 of the excursion detector 17 is fed to a displacement amplifier 26, so that an analog voltage from 0 to +10V corresponds to a rotation rate variation of the electromechanical displacement assembly 13 of from 0 to 2500 rpm. The force direction signal x9 is derived from the output signal x1 of the excursion detector 17 and is fed as a motor controller signal x16 to the electromechanical displacement assembly 13 via the displacement motor controller 27 as a PWM voltage (if the displacement assembly 13 has a DC motor). Preferably, a BLC motor is used, to which the phase voltages and the commutation signals are fed. On the basis of this servocontrol loop, a displacement of the examination component 5 occurs dependent on the direction of the acting force and the speed, this displacement being supported by the electromechanical displacement assembly 13, so that to an operator it feels as if the examination component 5 can be moved practically without force. Alternatively, and in a more economical version, a force direction signal also can be derived via a force acting on the operating handle 29 of the examination component 5, if at least one force sensor is allocated to the handle 29. The signal of the force sensor is referenced x13 in FIG. 3 and is fed both to the control computer 25 and to the displacement motor controller 27 as a release signal.
As explained above, an acceleration sensor 19 is allocated to the lever arrangement 1, whose acceleration signal x8, which corresponds to the acceleration, is fed to an acceleration signal amplifier 30, where it is amplified and fed to the control computer 25 and to the displacement motor controller 27 as an acceleration quantity signal x11, which corresponds to the acceleration with respect to magnitude, and an acceleration direction signal x12. If the acceleration quantity signal x11 and the acceleration direction signal x12 exceed predefined values, then the activation signal x14 is interrupted via the control computer 25 and is conducted to the displacement motor controller 27, which stops the actuation of the electromechanical control assembly 13, or which actuates the control assembly to produce an actuation in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of the examination component 5.
In the framework of the invention, sensors can likewise be allocated to the excursion limiter 20, these sensors generating a signal whenever the motion of the first lever arm 3 is stopped by the excursion limiter 20. This signal is then fed to the control computer 25, which generates an error signal which is brought to the operator's attention by indication at a display means, for example.
Although modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art, it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of their contribution to the art.

The London Borough of Southwark
Southwark Southwark is the historical home of the capital's arts and entertainments industry. London's first theatres, the Globe, the Hope and The Rose were all built there in the 16th century and Shakespeare's plays first performed there. The rebuilt Globe theatre is now one of the best theatres in London, while the neighbouring Tate Modern, housed in the stupendous Bankside Power Station, is among the world's most popular art galleries. London's modern City Hall and the magnificent, gothic Southwark Cathedral, complete a remarkable set of buildings that show five centuries of London's architectural achievements. Next to Bankside, the borough takes in the up-and-coming areas of Bermondsey, Camberwell and Peckham, where Only Fools and Horse was set. This part of London is currently popular with young professionals and artists due to its proximity to the centre of town and low property prices. Nearby Borough Market is heaving with fresh, organic food and drink. In the south of the borough lies leafy, suburban Dulwich which forms a welcome contrast to the bustling energy that defines the rest of one of London's oldest areas.

Fisherman's Friends - One and All,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: One And All [Mint Pack] (Audio CD)
You require to understand the county, the sea, the traditions, and the input of the men. I feel the enjoyment of the singers in all of their presentations and I think this is important in any CD. Having been priviledged to spend some time in Cornwall I appreciate the importance of these 'shanties' and how they came to be used. For me the soloists, and the harmonies are unique to the style of life of the artists.

Playing the baritone or bass saxophone is an entirely different experience from a higher sax like the alto or soprano. Of the 14 varieties originally conceived by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s, these two instruments are the lowest saxophones regularly heard in modern music. If you're an aspiring baritone or bass saxophone player, be prepared to move a lot of air and get your fingers ready for a workout. Although it is one of the least common saxophones seen today, the bass saxophone was actually the first form of the instrument to be developed. On the modern stage, one of the most well-known appearance of the bass saxophone is in Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story score. The more common baritone sax is popular with military bands as well as jazz and blues musicians, and has a reputation for its deep and rich tone as well as for how challenging it is to play when compared with an alto or tenor. Because new saxophone players generally start with one of the more mainstream instruments, baritone and bass saxophones are not as often made at the student level and most of the instruments you will find range from intermediate to professional designs. There are several baritone models aimed at the school or band segment. All the same, the focus on the advanced market means that shopping for a baritone or brass saxophone is a bit more straightforward. Pads, for example, are leather on almost all of the instruments, making their material less of a concern in your decision. As with other varieties of saxophone, these two can be found in several finishes including the standard lacquer, somewhat brighter-sounding silver-plated and warmer-toned gold-plated finish. Choose your bass or baritone saxophone based on your level of experience and your preferred finish. Since all makers decorate their instruments with their own characteristic engravings and lacquers, there's a choice to fit the tonal and aesthetic preferences of any player. Whatever the genre you play, there is a saxophone that's perfect for you.

In no time, too! All the basketball players and Justin Biebers of the world will have a pair in seconds.
If they ever apply the Turbine Pro engineering to a full-sized headphone, I hope it would look something like this and sound as good as the price, because I would buy the crap out of it and take a vacation with just the headphones and I to Cuba where I'd buy a suite that overlooks the ocean and make passionate love to them on the beach and not even wear protection because I love them that much to start a family with it.post #27 of 1254/21/11 at 4:35pm

"wow, looks so cool." "Oh my god, those are beautiful." We currently live in a world where looks (read superficiality) are more important than quality. It affects most of what people do and where depth of thought, depth of morals is no longer a factor. It is a world where people are not prepared to question the status quo. What our media deliver, we believe. At least on a forum like this we can criticise and challenge but we are in the minority. I see this as an analogy for what is happening today and the best example I can give is the way that Al Gore's "An inconvenient Truth" was accepted with virtually no challenge and is now driving so many of the world's economies. All I can say is keep promoting for quality over looks.
...or people are saying they look cool, without actual quality being based on their opinion. Can't people have general opinions anymore? I think they look sexy, but does that mean I'd pay $1000 for them? Of course not. Maybe a tenth of it, but I'd never be able to take them out because I'd be afraid of scratches. Even then, I'd probably switch the drivers out, and take out all the gross electronics inside.post #30 of 1254/21/11 at 8:58pm

The time Bob Marley played New Zealand has been turned into a family drama starring singer Stan Walker and Temuera Morrison. Writer and director Tearepa Kahi tells Tom Cardy about his own journey to make Mt Zion.
The kernel for what can grow into a movie can come from anywhere - and sometimes it's from out of the blue.
For new Kiwi feature film Mt Zion, the idea of setting a film in 1979 when Bob Marley and the Wailers played in New Zealand came to writer and director Tearepa Kahi by accident.
Kahi was directing a series for Television New Zealand when one day he was nosing around in an archive room during his lunch break. Kahi spotted a VHS videotape.
"It was totally random. It really was a stab in the dark," he says. Curious to know what was on it, he popped it into a VCR and pushed play. It was an old news clip by television journalist Dylan Taite called Good Morning, Come a Long Way. It showed Marley in 1979 at a powhiri, which included a wero or challenge.
Up until he viewed the video, Kahi was only vaguely aware that a powhiri had been given for Marley, who died in 1981, before his 1979 show in Auckland.
"I remember hearing rumours of older people seeing it."
Kahi was struck by Marley bending down and picking up the wero. A sudden thought hit him: What would it be like doing the wero to Bob Marley? "It was just a little private, magic moment."
From there began a seven-year journey that became Mt Zion.
The film stars Australian Idol winner Stan Walker as Turei, an aspiring singer who idolises Marley. Turei has a band, Small Axe, and is keen to audition for the supporting act at Marley's Western Springs gig. But in doing so, Turei clashes with his family, potato farm workers in Pukekohe, who include his father, Papa, played by Temuera Morrison. Papa knows Turei is a passionate and talented musician, but doesn't believe it will give his son job security.
Setting and filming much of Mt Zion in the market gardens of Pukekohe was Kahi's way of marrying the idea of a story about Marley's visit with his own family background.
Kahi grew up in Christchurch but his family were potato farm workers in Pukekohe. Kahi's father, George Kahi, left Pukekohe to pursue his dream as a jazz fusion drummer and played in several bands, including with guitarist Billy T K.
His father's love of music rubbed off and Kahi grew up singing and playing trumpet. At 17, he performed in a play where he was spotted by Wellington-based director and actor Jim Moriarty, who invited Kahi to join his theatre troupe. Kahi went on to other acting projects, then screenwriting and directing, including his award-winning short films Taua and The Speaker.
Kahi says, from early on, the New Zealand Film Commission supported Mt Zion. But it took seven years and several script drafts to shape the film into what is now on the big screen "It sounds like a big odyssey and I guess in many ways it was. Over that seven years we wrote a stark version, a comedy version, a thriller version, until we finally arrived at the truth, probably two years ago."
Kahi decided he wanted a film that would have broad appeal, even though at first it felt counter-intuitive "because a lot of my tendencies are more thriller".
"I wanted to capture a film that looked like it was shot on the day and try to be honest, not try to romanticise it. There're no whales. There're no beautiful east coast beaches . . . just this wonderful sepia-coloured soil [in Pukekohe] and people that worked the land.
"I'm surprised at how good I feel watching it. The great agenda for me was to try to make a film which any member of any family could enjoy . . . and present a story that is uplifting."
Kahi says he was keen on Walker in the lead role once the script was finished about two years ago. "If I get the stamp of approval on an idea from my wife, I know it's worth pursuing. She gave me the eyebrows up," he jokes. "There was a lot of question marks around Stan's acting ability so there was a lot of third party umming and ahhing. We put a process in place and we got together and started acting workshops and working really quietly undercover."
The actors rehearsed for five weeks in a Pukekohe home and garage, which belonged to Kahi's parents, later used as a location during filming. "That's where the story really came alive. It was living together and being together. That's where these guys really found their voices and belief."
And if it wasn't enough work writing and directing Mt Zion, Kahi also composed most of the original music and lyrics for songs in the film. "That's also why it took so bloody long to write. There's nothing harder than trying to write a song that sounds like yesteryear as opposed to today."
Mt Zion is screening now.

Bad Joke Or Just A Bad Call? Bryanboy's Controversial Thinspo Tweets
There we were, buzzing through our Twitter feeds, happy as clams, when our friends at Styloko pointed out this glaring issue with one of our favorite insiders, Filipino fashion blogger Bryanboy. On Monday, he posted this Tweet, encouraging readers to "lose weight and make those bones appear" in preparation for the February shows. Tweeting a little fitness motivation is one thing, but this has the unmistakable ring of Thinspo. Some argue it was a joke, but conveying humor in 140 characters or less is a skill that's easy to screw up. Others are saying it's an irresponsible comment that contributes to the masses of "Thinspiration" on social media sites today.
Bryanboy is one of the Internet's biggest phenomena, which carries a special brand of celebrity. While Tinseltown's finest may be constantly surrounded by an entourage of agents, managers, handlers, bodyguards, stylists, and the like, bloggers have hardly any buffers —or more precisely, filters. It's why the medium is so popular, and the same reason why it can be problematic.
Like many fashion bloggers, Bryanboy is a self-starter. He's built a brand from scratch without anybody's help, and we commend him for that. But it also means he's more or less a regular guy with a gigantic international following — many of whom are young, impressionable 'tweens. This isn't to say he should switch to spouting only safe, politically-correct opinions, but given the growing sensitivity to eating disorders within the fashion industry, it feels like a no-brainer. Assuming it's not a joke, maybe Bryanboy really does want his bones to show. For that, we'd be sorry.
If it is a joke, it's an irresponsible one for someone with so many young followers. But that's the nature of the blogosphere. One minute you're just preaching to your friends and, like, your mom who understand your humor and don't take you too seriously. The next, you're a role model for people all over the world that may in fact want to be you. You might not have asked for the attention, but it's there. So now you have to figure out how you want to deal with it. (Styloko)

For the most part this is fairly straightforward, but I've found a weird edge case. I have a method that pops up a JFileChooser dialog and looks at the contents of that folder and reports it back. I have this working when I create a JButton in the start() method and use that to pop up the JFileChooser. But I put all the code for the JFileChooser into a method called showFolderSelect() so that I could also try opening the JFileChooser from Javascript. So this call from within the applet works:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if ("browse".equals(event.getActionCommand())) {
But this call from Javascript does not:
function selectFolder() {
var infoApplet = document.getElementById('infoApplet');
The Javascript call gets me the following message in Opera's console:
[5 October, 2003 6:26:56 AM] JavaScript - http://localhost:8080/applet-webapp/
Event thread: click
Uncaught exception: Error: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.home read)
Error thrown at line 20, column 12 in selectFolder() in http://localhost:8080/applet-webapp/:
called from line 1, column 0 in <anonymous function>(event) in http://localhost:8080/applet-webapp/:
Any ideas on how I can get this to work from Javascript? Or am I just going to have to use the JButton created in the start() method of the applet?
Please note that I can't expect users to be able to monkey around with java.policy configurations or anything like this. The only nod to security and access control that we can expect is that the applet(s) is(are) digitally signed.
Thanks for any help or insight on this issue.
