Mira Mobile Television's newest M11HD video truck has hit the road with seven 2/3in HD field lenses from Fujifilm onboard. The new truck carries one XA101x8.9BESM, three XA88x8.8ESMs and three XA76x9.3ESM Fujinon lenses outfitted on Sony HDC-1450 portable cameras.
MIRA Mobile's entire complement of Fujinon lenses now includes: five XA76X9.3ESMs, one XA88X8.8ESM, one XA101X8.9ESM, three ZA22X7.6ERMs ENG-style zooms and one HA14x4.5ERM wide-angle ENG/EFP lens.
For a company headquartered just outside of Portland, OR doing business throughout the western United States and western Canada, MIRA Mobile Television has found the antifog capabilities and image stabilization of the Fujinon lenses to be invaluable for recent productions.
The company encounters every kind of weather as it covers events for clients from the Pacific Northwest to the beaches of Southern California to the deserts of Arizona. The lenses avoid moisture and are able to handle high winds, heat and all of the unknowns when shooting live sports, making high-quality, antifog and image stabilization essential.
The truck completed its first live broadcast in mid-February for the CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada," which is the equivalent to Monday Night Football in the United States. In addition, M11HD covered several events for ESPN, including NBA, Major League Soccer and college basketball (National Invitational Tournament and the NCAA Women's Tournament).

One of the possibilities is that H5N1 maybe in North America. H5N1 being the most deadly form of bird flu in the world.
More than 1,000 dead birds fall from sky in Ark.
(AP) – 7 hours ago
BEEBE, Ark. (AP) — Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused more than 1,000 black birds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds about 11:30 p.m. the previous night. The birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.
Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the he birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that "the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail."
The commission said that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.
Robby King, a wildlife officer for the agency, collected about 65 dead birds, which will be sent for testing to the state Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.
Rowe said that similar events have occurred elsewhere and that test results "usually were inconclusive." She said she doubted the birds were poisoned.
No poison found in birds that fell on town
First tests suggest midair collision, but why still isn't certain; number raised to at least 4,000

BEEBE, Ark. — Preliminary autopsies on 17 of the up to 5,000 blackbirds that fell on this town indicate they died of blunt trauma to their organs, the state's top veterinarian told NBC News on Monday.
Their stomachs were empty, which rules out poison, Dr. George Badley said, and they died in midair, not on impact with the ground.
Rowe noted that birds of prey and other animals, including dogs and cats, ate several of the dead blackbirds and suffered no ill effects.
"Every dog and cat in the neighborhood that night was able to get a fresh snack that night," Rowe said.
Mike Robertson, the mayor in Beebe, said the last dead bird was removed about 11 a.m. Sunday in the town about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock. A dozen workers hired by the city to do the cleanup wore environmental-protection suits for the task.

How about a massive Methane Gas release/leak out of the crust of the earth... that'd do wonders to the fish in the river and probably to any birds who may have been drinking the water along the shore as well! (just a guess folks... but my conjecture is just as good as anyone else's, right!)
brilliant diagnosis... when you fall out of the sky 500 feet, you tend to get organ damage.
Yeah, Sweet Betsy. How can I help ya?

"Poultry farmers are culling 1,000 of birds on farms where the dead birds were found"
We'll probably be buying that very same poultry at Wally World, next week, yummy. :)
I tell you what. I think it's wrong to speculate either way. Something like this could not be covered up. Whistle blowers (with expertise) are everywhere. Let's wait for experts to do their analysis. Why are we in a hurry to jump to conclusions?
This thing is extremely serious. Let's let the experts do their job.
There's a good possibility the birds infected cats and dogs along with poultry.
Poultry farmers are culling 1,000 of birds on farms where the dead birds were found.
It's a normal practice to cull birds given the nature of viral spread.
Fish flu? Well, not to worry, Rahul can make a Fish flu vaccine in 3 weeks. Of course it'll take 25 years before it will be approved. lol
Yeah, and this proves it's not H5N1 or any other type of bird flu.
mitshu, it appears that an infectious disease link is connected to the birds and fish dying.
In Asia,especially Vietnam,when fish died of an unknown cause, the government prevented fishermen from gathering the dead fish because of the fear the fish had contracted an infectious disease.
"no long could be as adamently disparaging against positive posting"
You just don't get it, do you? It is the RESPONSIBILITY of longs to be critical of events and, more importantly, delusional pumping like yours.

Right. You have NO idea the lengths this fat old hag goes to to pump a garbage stock.

Vettel pips the Ferraris to pole in Canada as Hamilton and Button toil
Sebastian Vettel continued his dominance on qualifying this season as Red Bull definitively proved they have a car for all circuits.
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal was expected to be Red Bull's weakness, but Vettel disproved that theory by claiming his sixth pole from seven races this season.
It is the 21st pole of reigning champion Vettel's stunning Formula One career, elevating the 23-year-old German into the top 10 on the sport's all-time list.
Only Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Jim Clark, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mika Hakkinen, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet now stand ahead of Vettel.
Vettel, who put his car in the wall in Friday's first practice, will be joined on the front row by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the Spaniard in such a position for the first time since last season's Singapore Grand Prix..
Top of the pile: Vettel sealed his sixth pole out of seven races as he seeks a first win in Canada
Vettel's time of 1:13.014 comfortably eclipsed last year's pole lap from Lewis Hamilton, who finds himself down in fifth behind Felipe Massa in his Ferrari and Red Bull's Mark Webber.
Nico Rosberg lines up sixth in his Mercedes, with Jenson Button a lowly seventh, his worst grid position of the season.
It is understood, however, McLaren leaned towards a wet set-up for the race, dangerously so because while there is a strong chance of rain there are no guarantees.
Appreciably, on a dry track for qualifying - despite the threat of rain in the air - that compromised their running, underlining their grid slots.
Happy hunting ground: Fernando Alonso is chasing his first victory of the season on a circuit on which he won on the way to his second world title in 2006
Michael Schumacher starts eighth in
his Mercedes, followed by the Renault duo of Nick Heidfeld and Vitaly
Petrov, the German beating the Russian for only the second time this
Paul di Resta produced a phenomenal effort to try to get into the top 10, but it was not quite enough from the Scot.
In Q2, Di Resta conjured his fastest
lap of the weekend so far in his Force India, only to fall three tenths
of a second adrift as the top five teams had too much in hand for the
middle order pack.
Williams' Pastor Maldonado starts
12th, followed by the Sauber of Kamui Kobayashi and Adrian Sutil in his
Force India, out-qualified by Di Resta for the sixth time in seven
Sebastien Buemi will line up 15th in his Toro Rosso ahead of Rubens Barrichello for Williams, whilst Pedro de la Rosa is a creditable 17th.
Poor show: Jenson Button starts 7th on the grid - his lowest starting position of the season - while Lewis Hamilton (rear) is in 5th
The 40-year-old Spaniard only jumped
in the car late in Friday's second practice session after being given
permission by McLaren to return to the Swiss team for whom he drive in
13 races last year.
With Sergio Perez complaining of
feeling unwell following the first practice session in the wake of his
crash in qualifying a fortnight ago, Sauber were forced to turn to De la
There was one scare in Q1 when De la
Rosa banged against a wall at turn seven with his rear-left tyre, only
to escape on this occasion unlike his crash at turn four at the end of
Jerome D'Ambrosio will have to fall
on the mercy of the stewards if he is to compete in the race as he
finished outside the 107 per cent rule.
Alonso's pacesetting time in Q1 of 1:13.822 put intense pressure on those at the back of the grid, with Virgin's D'Ambrosio missing out by half a second.
Frustrating afternoon: Mark Webber begins from fourth on the grid
Such a gap could prove difficult to
argue against as the stewards have it within their power to reinstate a
driver if they believe enough was done in qualifying and throughout
If they decide against it, then it will be a 23-car grid, and the first time Virgin have failed to have both cars take part.
Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari was
again the man to fall by the wayside from the more established teams in
Q1, with the Spaniard in his Toro Rosso starting from 18th.
Behind him will be Lotus duo Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen, followed by the Hispania pair of Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan in 21st and 23rd, sandwiching Virgin's Timo Glock.

Sentral beliggenhet trekker oppPosted Apr 13, 2016
Beliggenheten er topp, kun 2 min fra Spansketrappa. Rom 107 som vi hadde var lite med vindu mot bakgård. Vi følte oss "inneklemt" og luften var innestengt. Belysningen var dunkel og det ble litt deprimerende å være på rommet. Seng og håndklær ble byttet 2.hver dag. Greit nok - men langt i fra luxus....

As a parent to a six year old and three year old, I have become increasingly concerned with my ability to help cultivate my kids' sense of wonder and imagination.
I grow worried with fear that playing pretend and magical thinking is somehow getting lost in this electronic age.
I, myself, am guilty of running out of ideas to foster the invocation of magic into our daily lives.
I get in my own way, forgetting that creativity is meant to be simple, fun and not overthought—reminding myself that in the rat race of it all my husband and I can create fun and illusion for our kids while laughing ourselves—connecting and bringing us closer together through a shared activity.
Below is a perfect example of creating fun and wonder in the home without pixels or internet or television. It brought a smile to my face and has most certainly gotten the creative cogs grinding once again—an alternative for the mundane.
Heck, maybe I will even try this one at home.

In this letter, we propose a new method that uses the stress applying parts (SAPs) in the polarization maintaining fibers (PMFs) cladding to realize the self-alignment of the side-polished face and the slow axis. This method enables the polarizers to be fabricated directly onto PMFs, and there are no interruptions to the optical path and no internal interfaces to reflect light. The polarizers offer a high polarization extinction ratio (PER) and high temperature stability. Theoretical and experimental results show that the new method dramatically reduces the polarization axis alignment (PAA) error and increases the success rate of making side-polished PMF polarizers with PER > 23 dB from 18.8% to 65.0%.
1. Introduction
PMF devices, such as in-line PMF polarizers and couplers/splitters [1–4], have generated great interest in high-speed coherent fiber optic communications systems, fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG) and interferometric sensors [5–7]. It is easy to make side-polished in-line single mode fiber (SMF) devices, such as in-line SMF polarizers and couplers/splitters, and the PER of SMF polarizers can be over 40 dB [8–10]. However, it is very difficult to produce side-polished in-line PMF polarizers with a high PER, because the PER of side-polished in-line PMF polarizers depends on the accuracy of the alignment between the side-polished face and the slow or fast axis of the PMFs [11–13].
Side-polished PMF polarizers are made in two ways. The first is to use the PMF as the input and output fibers and an SMF as the side-polished section. The main disadvantages of this method include: too many production steps, high insertion loss and back reflection, and poor temperature stability. The second method is to make a side-polished face on a PMF directly [14]. The main advantages of this method are lower insertion loss and excellent temperature stability. The key challenge is to ensure accurate alignment between the side-polished face and the slow or fast axis of the PMF, especially for PMFs of 80 μm and 40 μm cladding diameter.
The following theoretical analysis demonstrates how the SAPs in the PMF cladding may be used to promote the self-alignment of a side-polished face and the slow axis of a PMF and consequently greatly reduce the PAA error. This principle can also be used in producing other PMF devices.
2. Theory
The new method is best illustrated by following the production steps of a side-polished in-line PMF polarizer. A PANDA-style PMF of 80 μm cladding diameter and one meter length is stretched over the curved face of an aluminium substrate prior to firmly bonding as shown in Fig. 1 . The top surface of the substrate is curved along the length of the substrate, and is as smooth as possible. The length, radius of curvature, and the width of the substrate are about 25 mm, 250 mm, and 2 mm, respectively. F is the stretching force, and T1 and T2 are the tensions in SAP1 and SAP2, respectively.
Fig. 1
Figure 2 shows the structure of a PANDA-style fibre, a polishing wheel, and an aluminium substrate. The surface of the polishing wheel and the aluminium substrate are parallel to the x axis. ϕ is the angle between the slow axis and the x axis. It is very important to bond the PMF correctly. An alignment angle of ϕ =0 ° or ϕ =90 ° yields the ideal PAA result. The maximum possible output PER of a side-polished in-line PMF polarizer is thus limited by [15]:
Fig. 2
In order to make a side-polished in-line PMF polarizer with an output PER greater than 20 dB, the angular misalignment must be less than 5.7 °. For an output PER greater than 30 dB, the angular misalignment must be less than 1.8 °, according to Eq. (1). The angular alignment is very hard to realize especially for the PMFs with smaller cladding diameters, such as 80 μm or 40 μm. This kind of small form-factor fibre with a cladding diameter of 80 µm or 40 μm is well known in FOG applications [11].
As shown in Fig. 1, the original length of the fiber is L = R⋅θ, where R is the radius of curvature of the substrate and θ is the wrap angle. F is the force applied to the PMF pulling the fibre over the aluminium substrate and stretching it by ΔL. The original length of the micro-section of the fiber is dL = R⋅dθ. The increase in micro-section is a function of y, and can be expressed as l + y⋅dθ, where the micro-section is stretched by l at y = 0. Therefore, the stress σ is not uniformly distributed over the cross section of the PMF, and can be written as:Fig. 2, the tensions of the two SAPs are different, because they have different changes in length. Using Eq. (2), the tensile force exerted by the material when stretched by ΔL on the SAP can be expressed as:
As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the normal force component N, which leads to the rotation of the PMF, can be expressed as:
The normal force is proportional to tension T, so dN 1>dN 2 (when ϕ is not zero). Inserting Eq. (3)a) and Eq. (3)b) into Eq. (4), the summation of moments about the core, M, can therefore be expressed as:
The moment of force is proportional to cosϕ⋅sinϕ according to Eq. (5). Therefore if the side polished face is exactly parallel to the slow axis (ϕ =0 °) or fast axis (ϕ =90 °), the sum of moments will be zero and the fibre will be in steady state. The maximum possible value of the output PER of the side-polished PMF polarizer would be infinity. However, this ideal angular alignment is very hard to realize in practice. It is necessary to point out that in our model, for simplicity, we focus on the moments caused by the SAPs and ignore the moments caused by the cladding.
If the side polished face is parallel to the slow axis (ϕ ≈0 °), the moment of force M tends to return the PMF to its original position of equilibrium even if there is a small angular misalignment, because it is a stable equilibrium. Conversely if the side polished face is parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °) the moment of force M tends to turn the PMF away from the equilibrium position if there is a small angular misalignment, because the equilibrium is unstable. In other words, as shown in Fig. 2, ϕ ≈0 ° is the position of minimum potential energy, and ϕ ≈90 ° is the position of maximum potential energy. This means that the choice between making the side-polished face parallel to the slow axis or the fast axis is crucial.
Unfortunately, in almost all cases, side-polished in-line PMF polarizers or couplers are made with the side-polished face parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °), thus leaving the slow axis to be the transmission axis. This method will increase the PAA error and decrease the PER of PMF polarizers or couplers, as demonstrated in the above theoretical analysis.
For making high extinction ratio in-line PMF polarizers it is therefore clear that a better approach is to make the side-polished face parallel to the slow axis (ϕ ≈0 °) of a PMF, while leaving the fast axis to be the transmission axis. Thus using the stresses within PMFs for polarization axis self-alignment, we can dramatically decrease the PAA error and increase the PER of PMF polarizers.
3. Experiments and discussion
A PANDA-style PMF of 80 μm cladding diameter and one meter length is prepared by stripping off 20mm of the fiber coat and placing the fiber on two fiber holders as show in Fig. 3 . The fiber is lit from above and viewed via a CCD camera. The fiber is slowly turned until the characteristic image of either the slow or fast axis appears (depending on what is desired), and the fiber holders are then closed. The fiber can now be firmly bonded onto the aluminium substrate which is carefully aligned with the fiber holders. However, experimentation shows that closing the fiber holders tends to slightly rotate the fiber away from the ideal position of ϕ =0 ° or ϕ =90 °, obviously limiting the PER and the production success rate of side-polished PMF polarizers. The new method overcomes this problem as the fiber will tend to self-align when stretched over the aluminium substrate (provided ϕ ≈0 ° has been chosen) even when subject to a rotational perturbation.
Fig. 3
In order to demonstrate the new strategy of making side-polished PMF polarizers, we fabricated three batches of PMF polarizers, one with the side-polished face parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °) and two with the side-polished face parallel to the slow axis (ϕ ≈0 °) but with different stretching forces. It is worth reiterating that side-polished in-line PMF polarizers or couplers are customarily always made with the side-polished face parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °), thus leaving the slow axis to be the transmission axis.
The experimental setup used to monitor the optical intensity during polishing is shown in Fig. 4 . One end of the PMF is connected to a superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED) and the other end to a power meter. The fibre's output power should be monitored carefully to ensure that the evanescent field has been reached and the core of the PMF is not penetrated. In order to minimize the insertion loss of the side-polished PMF polarizers, we deposited an aluminium film of 40 nm in thickness on a portion of the polished face [12, 14].
Fig. 4
The experimental setup used to measure the output PER of the side-polished PMF polarizers is shown in Fig. 5 . The low PER light from an SLED at a wavelength of 850 nm is launched into the fibre polarizers to be tested. A high quality crystal polarizer, a Glan-Taylor (G-T) prism, was placed at the output end of the fibre polarizer to evaluate the polarization dependence of the output power. The G-T prism reflects o-ray at an internal air-gap, transmitting only e-ray. The output light intensity from the polarizer was measured using an optical detector attached to a power meter. The G-T prism was rotated in steps of 10 degrees, and the output power P recorded for each rotation of the prism. The output PER of a side-polished in-line PMF polarizer can be written in Eq. (6):
Fig. 5
The polar plot of the normalized output light intensity of the side-polished fibre polarizer, No. 0907, as a function of G-T prism angles in steps of 10 ° is shown in Fig. 6a . The PER of the polarizer is over 35 dB at room temperature. Figure 6b shows the temperature stability of side-polished PMF polarizer No. 0907. The absolute offset of PER is about 0.4 dB over the temperature range of 75 °C.
Fig. 6
Table 1 shows the experimental results of the sample batches, each batch has 20 to 24 samples. The first batch of PMF polarizers is fabricated according to the old method with the side-polished face parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °) and a low stretching force, and the other two batches are fabricated following the new method with the side-polished face parallel to the slow axis (ϕ ≈0 °) but with a low and high stretching force respectively to separately show the improvements in PER due to first selecting the slow axis and then increasing the stretching force. Note that increasing the stretching force with the side-polished face parallel to the fast axis (ϕ ≈90 °) would be expected to lead to a reduction in PER
The experimental results prove that with the fast axis as the transmission axis (ϕ ≈0 °) and an adequate stretching force F, the PER and the success rate can be dramatically improved. Using our new method for making side-polished PMF polarizers, the expectation of misalignment angle Δϕ, standard deviation of misalignment angle Δϕ, and the expectation of the PER are improved from 6.42 ° to 4.07 °, 3.52 ° to 2.23 °, and 20.40 dB to 24.16 dB, respectively. The success rate for making the side-polished PMF polarizers with PER > 23 dB increased from 18.8% to 65.0%.
4. Conclusion
In summary, we report theoretical and experimental investigations into a new method of making side-polished in-line PMF polarizers. This method enables the polarizers to be fabricated directly onto PMFs, and there are no interruptions to the optical path and no internal interfaces to reflect light. The polarizers offer a high extinction ratio and high temperature stability over a temperature range of 75 °C. This unique method can dramatically decrease the PAA error and improves the production success rate for side-polished PMFs polarizers with PER > 23 dB from 18.8% to 65.0%. The unique features of this new method, combined with its low-cost fabrication, could enable an entire suite of production applications for other PMF devices.

What An EA Video Game Contract Looked Like In 1986
Here's a fun little relic from the earliest days of game development: the original contract for the IBM port of Wasteland, made by Interplay, which cost EA just $28,000.
Here's a fun little relic from the earliest days of game development: the original contract for the IBM port of Wasteland, made by Interplay, which cost EA just $28,000.
While everyone is roaming around one particular post-apocalyptic wasteland, I've been exploring another. Mad Max's, to be specific. It might not be as absorbing as the wastes of Boston apparently are, but I'm having a pretty great time regardless. There's just one thing that's stumping me.
Is there anything more paralyzing than a blank slate?
"Forsaken by his people, he strode into the wasteland," the narrator intones in the intro to Fallout 2. 16 years later, and creator Brian Fargo has delivered that promise anew in a very literal way: by making Wasteland 2, a spiritual successor to his Fallout games that's also a...sequel to their predecessor.
Want to get ready for Wasteland 2, or just enjoy perusing the numerous attributes? You can download the 99-page Wasteland 2 manual right here.
I played through Fallout 1 and 2 multiple times, but didn't like the squad based complexity of Fallout Tactics. So this latest trailer for Wasteland 2 is bad news for me. The trailer spends several minutes explaining the seemingly infinite options in designing a squad, only to then show how a poorly designed squad…
Wasteland 2 character portrait by Leonard Boyarsky.
Wasteland 2 will be coming out on September 19, according a tweet from creator/designer Brian Fargo. You can read an interview with Fargo right here.
There's been plenty of gloom cast over Kickstarter recently, so let's focus on the good things: like how crowdfunding ended Brian Fargo's 20 year run of Wasteland 2 rejection.
"There was this one moment in Fallout 3, when I came across a prisoner at some raider camp," I said. "She was still tied up, but all the raiders were gone. Maybe they were dead or something, I don't know. The game gave me a choice: I could take her supplies and leave her there, or set her free."
Wasteland 2's general release creeps closer and closer. Here is the opening live-action movie introducing the game's heroic desert rangers:
In a world with horse armor DLC, things that game companies sell as additional content never surprises me—but it's probably a bad sign that I clicked this particular button half expecting the "Red Boots DLC" to be real, huh?
It raised a ton of cash during its Kickstarter campaign. Then Wasteland 2 got delayed because of all that money. But, rest assured, the sequel to the classic RPG is coming. And a new video gives a substantial glimpse at what the gameplay will look like. Get ready for clicking, folks.
Wasteland 2 sure is looking nice. Here's a lengthy demo of a level from the game, which gives a good sense of a bunch of the different systems and encounters and how they all fit together.
Wasteland 2, like Double Fine's adventure game, is one of Kickstarter's greatest video game project successes. And, like Double Fine's adventure game, it's also run into a snag because, well, y'all just gave it too darn much money.
The Kickstarted game Wasteland 2 now has a publisher—Deep Silver, who will distribute the game but concede all creative control to the developers at inXile, according to inXile.
After twenty-one years, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is getting a direct sequel. That's quite the gap, twenty-one years. But it's far from being the only big gap.
Wasteland 2, the tremendously successful Kickstarter project that earned close to $3 million when it was funded last year, is starting to shape up.
Well, not just for you. Fans of Wasteland, RAGE, Borderlands or any other game set in a post-apocalyptic desert are more than catered for at Wasteland Weekend, which will be held in the Mojave Desert at the end of the month.

In reply to Jaelkay • Sep 17, 2012
Hi Folks,
Thanks for your responses on the iPad. I suspected that downloading X3F files direct was a 'no no' since Apple does not appear to want to include X3F in their vast list of supported camera files.
A Powerbook would be a nice option if cost was not a consideration.
Thanks again,

Well, we can finally say we know something about director Brad Bird's Tomorrowland, the top-secret sci-fi movie that stars George Clooney — namely that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Hugh Laurie is in talks to play the villain. That's it, really, which considering the nature of the film — until just two weeks ago, it was called 1952 — is still something.
Bird co-wrote the script with Damon Lindelof based on an idea by Lindelof one-time Entertainment Weekly writer Jeff Jensen. The director recently teased the project with a photo of a box said to have been uncovered in the Disney archives, leading D23 (the official Disney fan club) to turn to actual Disney Archives Director Becky Cline to try to identify the contents. Her findings are interesting, if not exactly illuminating.
The Hollywood Reporter floats that the film "has been described as being in the vein of Close Encounters of the Third Kind," so there's that. However, the title Tomorrowland may offer the biggest clue, as it's an apparent reference to the Disney parks theme lands of the same name nown for looking to the future of technology and humanity.

In accounting, the term "sundry creditors" is used to designate a group of suppliers on a ledger sheet, according to The Law Dictionary.

When formulating a balance sheet, the term "sundry creditors" can be used as a heading for all the money owed to an entity for goods and services, but not money owed as interest on a loan or as taxes, according to FinanceReading.com. The heading is listed under the category of liabilities, which, according to Investopedia, includes all financial obligations of an entity.
The term "sundry debtors" is the reverse of sundry creditors, and refers to a group of entities who owe money to a person or organization. On a balance sheet, the heading of sundry debtors is categorized under assets, which Investopedia defines as anything that can be converted into liquid cash. A sundry creditor can also be considered a subcategory of creditors in general, which are defined entities that have extended credit to another entity, either in the form of a loan or in a contract for goods and services provided, as explained by Investopedia.Learn more about Credit & Lending

Castiel (goes by Cass) was rescued 2.5 years ago. He loves to play tug, chase his ball and go for runs. He is very loyal to his humans and does well with dogs when he is introduced slowly and feels safe. He has some separation anxiety but his Kong toy has helped a lot. He will need a home with a decent sized yard to run in as he is fairly active. He weighs about 55lbs and is short hair, so easy maintenance. He allows us to trim his nails and give him baths at home. He needs a home where he is the only pet or that has a similarly sized breed of puppy that can grow up with him. He is crate trained, house broken and knows basic obedience ...

|Rescue Me ID: 16-06-21-00602Bruce (male)
Hi! I'm Bruce. But you can also call me Brucy, 'B', Brucykins, Buddy, or Squinchyface. I'm a mature Black Lab / Boxer mix. I've been told I am handsome by many, and I've also been called the best dog in the world. I was abused as a small puppy, and I was adopted by a father for his son. When I was 2, I bit the kid next door. It wasn't my fault I wasn't on a leash. Good thing the next door neighbor wasn't hurt, but I was declared dangerous by a judge who thought I was a pitbull, just because I had a big head when I was younger. I most certainly am not! Nothing against pitbulls, but I am proud of my lab swimming abilities and my ever-wagging, ... (Read More)signature lab tail! My owner grew up and moved away, and his dad has taken care of me ever since. Unfortunately, the old man had to sell his house, and now he's finding it hard to find a place to rent that allows dogs. So he asked me to post this 'personals' ad in hopes of finding someone who can take care of me the rest of my life. He doesn't want me to die, and neither do I! I weigh 60 lbs., and I'm an indoor dog. My likes are tugging on rope, playing catch and keep-a-way. My favorite dog food is Kibbles-n-Bits, and I can eat any food, but that brand is what my tummy likes the most. I do like kids, but I have to get to know them, and they can't grab the skin in front of my tail. I'm a sensitive male! And when I say 'get to know', I just mean 'give me some food and I'm your best friend!' I'm very loyal, very loving, as playful as those who define my environment, and potty trained to the max. I have fear of tight spaces. I love to run and play outside. 'Outside' is my favorite word, actually, well, next to 'food' anyway. I can sit, lie down, stay, give paw, stop, go ahead, and I understand what's 'ok' and what's 'no.' I'm a very good boy! I've been taking long naps every day since my owner grew up, and I miss exercising, but my owner's dad works all day to pay the bills, so I haven't seen much daylight in some time. Oh yes, and I'm afraid of thunder. If you see me shaking, it's either thunder or I'm probably remembering something from my early childhood. I love everyone really. I only bark when there's a knock on the door, and I only growl when strangers approach me quickly and just start petting me because I'm so darn cute. I just want to be loved. Is that so wrong? If you are interested in becoming my new mommy or daddy, just call Josh, and we'll hang out! (Less)

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Boxer in Virginia
Boxer Dogs can make good pets in Virginia if they match your IifestyIe. Boxer dogs are energetic, playful and intelligent animals, they like to clown around a lot and will keep you laughing. Boxers learn new things quickly, and, at the same time, can be clever and stubborn. Boxer dogs bond well with a family, are very affectionate and get along well with children. Boxers need a lot of exercise, and will be well-behaved as long as they are taken on long walks every day. If kept confined without a lot of exercise, however, boxer dogs can become destructive. Boxers require lots of human companionship and should never be left alone for long periods of time.

The 20-year-old picked up his first points by taking seventh spot in round three in southern Portugal.
And the Campos Racing driver, who lies 12th in the standings, said: "Portimao was a good step forward, the pace was a big improvement on the first weekend of the season.

Our son ears here when he is home from school. I am pleased with the flavor, service and prices. It is conveniently located and they prepare to go meals to make it easy. I will return.
Returned to Asia Garden this week for a Lunch Special and got D22 the Gen Gau with white rice and Crab Rangoon. Very unpleasant greeter/order Person........... took order and gave no receipt ..... i have heard this is common. Picked up in tenminute...... took home and Gen Gau was okay! white rice good and crab R. okay price was $11.90....
Takeout-got both chicken and beef, supposedly spicy. Lo mein and fried rice. Absolutely no flavor at all. Meats covered in a floury substance. Hot and sour soup was just ok. Spring roll half full. We could not eat it.
We asked the waiter what to get and he said the Asian style steak. It was delicious! We love Thai food and wanted pad thai but even though they said they served Thai food it wasn't on the menu which was surprising. The place was really clean, nicely decorated, the service was excellent and our dinners were great. Location was...
Asia Garden is my neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Fresh, lightly sauced (I mean not drenched unless the sauce is interesting) and the portions are huge. But try them yourself. I keep going back.
This restaurant has wonderful food, freshly made with interesting and complex ingredients. That does not mean you have to have an exotic palate to love the food here. The pad thai and other Thai specialties and curry are fabulous. We have become totally addicted to the palm seed pudding for dessert. Service is attentive and friendly. The prices are most...
Right around the corner so get take out fairly often. Food always fresh and delicious.I
It does seem they do print up new menus with price increases many times a year,
Chinese food is not cheap! The combination plates are the best value.
Asia Garden is great Chinese take out, for Cape Cod at least. Good lunch specials, standard stuff at a decent value.
This place has an open kitchen and very fast take out service. The food is incredible and the staff is always excellent. I will not have Chinese anywhere else.

Originally from Alabama, Collins now lives and works in Atlanta. Her artwork has appeared locally, nationally and internationally, including a large-scale public artwork in Puebla, Mexico, as the Arquetopia artist in residence.
From the artist's statement:
Racial identity, for me, has neither been instantly formed nor conjured in isolation. Rather, identity entangles memory: actual and revisited, cultural and historical, individual and collective. Through the dissolution of dichotomies and the combination of objects, this work recalls for me moments in the formation of my racial identity as Black and Biracial. And each re-worked mark is another attempt to navigate the binary paradigm of race in the U.S. South by grasping invisible limitations and grounding myself within the collective African American visual narrative.
Whether black paper drawings, chalkboard erasures or layered vellum paintings, my work continues to evoke a longing for what author Rebecca Walker refers to as "the black outline around my body that everyone else seems to have."

He didn't ask for any of this. She took it upon herself to start this…
Not a huge fan of the ankle cuff sneakers that Serena (and KD) are wearing…
Kind of strange that some random lady started a GoFundMe for that kid. I'm curious…
Can Tim Lee get any more pitiful?
Are my nards going to get irradiated?

Cauterets—which derives from the word for hot springs in the local bigourdan dialect—is a spa resort town set high in the Pyrénées. It has been revered since Roman times for thermal baths thought to cure maladies ranging from back pain to infertility. Novelist Victor Hugo (1802–85) womanized here, and Lady Aurore Dudevant—better known as the writer George Sand (1804–76)—is said to have discovered her feminism here. Other famous visitors include Chateaubriand, Sarah Bernhardt, King Edward VII of England, and Spain's King Alfonso XIII.

Character actor Arthur Loft was active in films from 1933 until his death in 1947. A fussy-looking man who appeared as though he been weaned on a lemon, Loft was usually cast as pushy types. He was seen in prominent officious roles in two Edward G. Robinson/Fritz Lang collaborations of the mid-1940s, The Woman in the Window (44) and Scarlet Street (45). Other typical fleeting Arthur Loft...
