Skill Level Intermediate
In this exercise, I'm going to introduce you to the Blob Brush, which allows you to paint filled paths that glom together with each other to create essentially as few paths as possible inside your illustration. I have gone ahead and saved my progress so far as Beautiful lovehorse.ai and we have got this beautiful rendition of Eunice going now and Bob is in worse shape than ever, as you will see. It's looking just terrible, so is this prairie dog, and the problem is we change that brush on him and he just suffered immensely for it.
So we could fix him a little bit by pressing Ctrl+A to select all of the visible objects here, and that's Command+A on the Mac of course, and then I'd switch over to the Brushes palette and click on this new brush, 9 pt Bob, which will solve our problems. It actually returns Bob to his former, still not very good state. I just don't see things working out between Eunice and Bob quite frankly. Right now, she loves him to tears, but what's she going to think of him in the future, especially after he crushes that startled prairie dog there.
Well, I'd say we draw somebody new for Eunice. So I'm going to turn-off Bob, I'm going to switch to the Eunice layer, I'm going to Alt-click or Option-click on little page icon down here at the bottom of the Layers palette and I'm going to change the name of this layer to Edwardo. And that way, his name even begins with the same letter as Eunice. That's so important, and then go to Color and change it from Blue to Gold, like so, and click OK, because Gold is the color of Edwardo. All right, I'm going to go ahead and grab my Blob Brush tool. You can get to it by pressing Shift+B as opposed to be for the Paintbrush. We got Shift+B for the Blob Brush and then notice that it's already set to work with the last brush I selected, which is 9 pt Bob. And this is a pressure-sensitive brush, so I can just go ahead and paint with my pressure -sensitive Stylus in order to get some interesting wacky results at this stage in a game. So I'm just going to paint a few brush strokes in a place, like so. Notice all the while what's happening here is that Illustrator is connecting these paths together and if I press the V key to get my Black Arrow tool and click on the outline of one of these paths, you will see that they are joined together.
Now the reason this guy is not part of the other group is because they are not quite connected, see that. We have got two different paths in the making right now and if I were to twirl open Edwardo, you can see one's a compound path because it's got a little hole in it and the other is just a standard path outline, but they are both filled with black as opposed to stroked path outlines. I am going to go ahead and press Ctrl+ A, Command+A on a Mac, delete those, because I want to change some settings around and I'm going to change those settings from the Blob Brush tool options.
So double-click in the Blob Brush tool here and then what I want you to do is if you are working with a pressure- sensitive tablet, which you may or may not be and because I am, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to switch Size from Fixed to Pressure and I'm going to increase the Variations value to 10 pt. So I have as much variation as possible. I'm not going to worry about the Angle or the Roundness here. I'm done painting calligraphic brush strokes. I just want pressure sensitivity and I'll click OK. Notice now, you have a round 10 pt brush and there is no brush selected inside the Brushes palette any longer.
So let's begin to draw Edwardo, but you know what, I want a rich black and I didn't bother to save the swatch, so I'm just going to enter it manually, which is going to be 50% for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow and 100% for Black, because I think the rich black suits Edwardo. So he needs to look pretty good. Boy, he has got big ears. I didn't expect him to have such big ears. But notice as I paint, that I do have pressure-sensitivity and I'm going ahead and creating some awfully long hair for Edwardo. He is just such an amazing creature here. I'll go ahead and paint this nice, wonderful, luxurious tail, because he is tail-proud of course and he has got some ripped glute muscles I would think, don't you? All right, those look pretty nice there and then we'll go ahead and give him some nice haunches to work with here because he is just geesh, what a ladies killer, if you are a horse that is.
Now what the Brush tool has a habit of doing. This is true for both the Paintbrush and the Blob Brush, so both of them do this. They go ahead and smooth out your brush strokes. So even if you paint some pretty lousy stuff, once you get down releasing the brush, or that is releasing the stylus or the mouse or whatever you are working with, then Illustrator will go ahead and smooth out your brush strokes for you, and that's a function of one of those options I'll show it to you in a minute inside of the Blob Tool Options dialog box. All right, he wants a big huge jaw of course and a nice chin and he is not a smiler.
He is too cool for that, and then we'll give him some sort of cool eyes. I think ultimately he has got to have some bling because he is just exuding machismo, so we'll just give him some chains to work with there. This is looking pretty nice. Well obviously, he is a sailor, so we'll go ahead and give him this anchor tattoo. That's looking pretty good. So we have got ourselves an Edwardo and the interesting thing I think about him, besides he is just so stunning, is that if I click on him with the Black Arrow tool, that much of him is one big huge path outline as you can see right here, and then some of the other stuff is separated and that's plenty okay, and if we painted over him some more, I bet we could paint him into a single path.
But let's look here. We have got one big compound path, we have got this path down here for his face, and then we have got just a handful of additional paths where things are not connected. So you know what, just for larfs, so I'm going to click off him for a moment to deselect him, press Shift+B to switch back to the Blob Brush and I'm going to see if I can connect some of these brush strokes together. Now, I'm not having-- well, let's see, was that some of the stuff that was disconnected before? Let me check out. Oh no, that just connected the head and the larger path outline. We have got the glute paths right there and then we have the tip of that anchor.
All right, I'm going to press Ctrl+Shift +A to deselect things, paint that just a little bit, so that goes in and joins on too. Now all we got left, the only thing that's separated from the major compound path there, are the glute paths. They want to be separated; they look good. All right, so there you have it. That's the basics of how the Blob Brush works. It's just sitting there painting filled paths and connecting those paths together as they overlap. In the next exercise, I'll show you some other ways to use to the Blob Brush here inside Illustrator CS4.

Women's Basketball Spreads the Champions of Character Message
Nov. 4, 2009
On October 23, the Spring Hill College women's basketball team made a presentation to the Eichold-Mertz Elementary School 4th Grade Class on the five core character values taught by the NAIA's Champions of Character program.
Spring Hill's women stressed the importance of the five core character values encompassed by the Champions of Character program which are integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.
The Champions of Character values help young people - and those associated with their development - make good choices in all aspects of their life and reflect the true spirit of competition. Inherent to the Champions of Character process is the belief that character is handed down from one generation to the next. When those who provide athletic opportunities are willing to commit to character-driven athletics and put the athlete first, both the game and society overall benefit.
Following the presentation, the Lady Badgers conducted a basketball mini-clinic and donated basketballs to the EMES Physical Education Department. SHC Head Coach Ray Fron said, "This was a great day for the kids and our student-athletes. We'd like to thank Donna Marsh, the Physical Education teacher at EMES for helping organize the event and for her undying enthusiasm."

People of Sinjar Region Iraq Speak Out On ISIS Attacks at the White House
August 8th 2014 at the White House this group of Sinjar Region, Iraqi gentlemen gathered to talk about the tragic events unfolding due to the Isis Islamic extremist troubles plaguing the northeast region of Iraq.
They claim there are more than 100,000 people living in the Sinjar region along the Syrian border where the Islamic State group has terrorized villages. This past week food for 20,000 people had been airdropped, but it is said to fall short of the dire situation at hand.
On August 9th President Obama announced
from the White House lawn that he will send
more aid including airlifting people from the
region, as well as attempting to create a safe
zone corridor along the Syria/Iraq border.
Details on how President Obama plans to enact
such intentions are yet to be explained.

What would be the questions you would want answered if you happened to be in the company of the NBA's most famous players? I've compiled a list of some of the most pressing questions you might have for 11 of the NBA's most impressive players.
Everyone does 10 with these lists, I'm going to do 11. Why?
Two reasons: If you want 10 then Letterman is on weeknights at 11:30, and because on the court, one-on-one games are played to 11, not 10.
So let's say that we're in rehab (hi Doc and Darryl) with all these 11 players in an open forum. What would be the first question that you'd ask them, assuming you wouldn't catch an NBA sized beatdown afterward?

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Avoid schools - just get headshots taken
AUTHOR: Helaina - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 07, 2005POSTED: Thursday, July 07, 2005
Modeling schools as a whole are a ripoff. It is NOT necessary to attend one in order to become a working model. All one needs to do is have some headshots taken with a reputable photographer and start sending them to agencies.
I used to work for the Texas agency that licenses proprietary schools, including modeling schools. They operate legally, but their tactics are shady. Remember that they are operating a SCHOOL, not an AGENCY, so their objective is to get students.
The students they enroll should be a warning for the customers. Look around at your child's classmates: you'll see girls who are beautiful but only five feet tall (waaayyyy too short for modeling) or have obvious physical flaws, such as scars, acne, crooked teeth, even crossed eyes. So why do the schools enroll them? They have to. Otherwise it's discrimination. They must enroll anyone who wants to attend classes and is willing to pay tuition, even though the possibility of their ever working as a model is ludicrous.
Once enrolled, there will be other expenses: headshots, a professional modeling bag, and probably a trip to the International Modeling and Talent Convention, which can run into hundreds of dollars. They wanted a $400 non-refundable deposit for my friend and her daughter, and that's just the DEPOSIT.
John Casablancas Modeling School, for instance, draws students in by promising that each and every graduate will be reviewed for a contract upon graduation. John Casablancas (the actual man) is the owner of the Elite Modeling Agency in New York.
In response to a student complaint, the Texas Education Agency - Proprietary Schools Division (now a part of the Texas Workforce Commission) conducted an investigation and found that of 33,000 graduates in 1995, only 55 students nationwide actually got a contract with Elite.
Don't waste your money on a school or a talent scout who wants money to "train" you. Get some headshots taken and send them to an agent. A reputable agent WILL NOT charge you anything upfront. Going to a school is a waste of time and the odds are (and I'm sorry) that you do NOT have the right physique to be a working model.

Thick-Film Dielectric Electroluminescent (TDEL) Display
http://china.nikkeibp.co.jp/china/im...0526ifire2.jpg http://china.nikkeibp.co.jp/china/im.../040604ifi.jpg
▪ Luminance: > 500 cd / m²
▪ Contrast: 500:1
▪ Color Spectrum: > EBU
▪ Colors : > 16.77 million
▪ Viewing Angle: omni-directional > 170°
▪ Response Time: < 2 ms
▪ Temperature Range: -40°C ~ +85°C
▪ Thickness: < 3 cm iFire's TDEL display is based on inorganic electroluminescent (IEL) technology and has a novel structure that combines both thick- and thin-film processes. An IEL device generates light by applying an alternating electrical field to inorganic light-emitting phosphors. Traditional IEL displays are bright, very fast in video response time and highly tolerant of environmental extremes. However, the lack of full-color capability and large-size scalability has limited their application for the mainstream consumer television market. iFire has addressed these limitations by replacing the thin-film dielectric of traditional IEL technology with its patented thick-film, high-K dielectric material and structure. The result is a unique flat panel display technology that provides iFire' displays with high performance and low cost potential.
Based on materials and processes well established in the capacitor, hybrid IC and printed circuit board industries, the thick dielectric architecture of iFire's TDEL technology has drastically improved brightness, phosphor efficiency and manufacturing yield. Like traditional IEL technology, a TDEL display has a simple, rugged, solid state architecture that is inherently strong and reliable. iFire's patented thick dielectric approach further reduces manufacturing steps, permits less expensive manufacturing facilities, and lowers susceptibility to cleanroom contamination. Compared to incumbent flat panel display technologies which rely on complicated, highly precise thin-film manufacturing processes that are expensive and defect-sensitive, iFire™ displays can be produced at a projected 30 to 50 percent cost advantage.
Color By Blue
In 2003, iFire announced the development of a process, known as Color By Blue™ (CBB), which further simplified the already simple manufacturing process for TDEL. This new process accelerates production of inorganic EL displays while lowering capital and operating costs during the full-scale production. The simpler Color by Blue manufacturing process was made possible by performance improvements to iFire's blue inorganic phosphor. The Color By Blue process achieves luminance and color superior to the previous triple pattern process, as well as increased contrast, better grayscale rendition and exceptional color uniformity across the panel.
Color By Blue is based on the physics of photoluminescence. An iFire display uses electricity to excite inorganic phosphors, which then emit light. With iFire's traditional triple pattern method, three electrically active phosphors are used to generate red, green and blue light. With Color By Blue, iFire's high luminance inorganic blue phosphor is used in combination with special color conversion materials, which absorb the blue light and re-emit red or green light, to generate the other colors. This fluorescence is possible because the photons in blue light operate at higher frequencies than other light, and therefore have higher energy. With optimum color-conversion materials the conversion factors and the color spectrum of the display will exceed the requirements of HDTV systems.
Other Technological Development
In addition to its unique thick-film dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) technology and associated display material systems, iFire Technology is also involved in many other design elements related to the flat panel display industry.
Energy Efficient Resonant Integrated Supply (ERIS) Display Driver
Next generation large-screen flat panel displays must be both energy efficient and highly integrated. iFire has developed a new power management system, the Efficient Resonant Integrated Supply (ERIS) driver, that is both cost and energy efficient for large-screen displays. Using a resonant sinusoidal drive circuit, ERIS allows efficient energy recovery from the display panel which substantially reduces power consumption and increases luminance. With an estimated 50 percent power reduction compared to a traditional drive circuit approach, ERIS enables 200W power consumption for a mid-30-inch screen.
Self-Aligned Phosphor Patterning Techniques for Inorganic Electroluminescent (IEL) Displays
In 1999, iFire became the first company to have successfully demonstrated full-color IEL prototypes made using a self-aligned phosphor patterning process. The advancement achieved nearly two times the brightness of a color-by-white display, with more saturated colors and a better white point. This basic approach has now been extended to enable the patterning of three phosphors. The resulting displays have the highest brightness, color saturation and white color temperature ever reported for IEL displays. Using a partially self-aligned patterning technique, iFire's phosphor patterning technique enables high-yield, low-cost production of large-screen panels with CRT color quality and brightness.
TDEL ready to challenge PDP for large-screen TVs
27 November 2001
Among the flat-panel display candidates for large-screen TVs, the plasma display panel (PDP) has a clear head start, with 42-inch-diagonal and larger PDP TVs already available in the commercial market. Within a few years, though, TVs based on iFire's thick-dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) display technology will start to challenge the PDP, not just with superior image quality but with significantly lower prices as well.
PDP and the TDEL have similarities: both are capacitive devices that emit light through the excitation of phosphors, but the solid-state TDEL has a significant edge over PDP because of its simplicity: in structure, in manufacturing processes and in analog gray-scale generation. The iFire TDEL display, based on thick-film dielectric technology, has a very simple structure consisting of the dielectric layer and a thin-film phosphor layer sandwiched between a pair of X-Y electrodes. The PDP adds the complexity of a gas chamber, which necessitates a high vacuum, and a precise three-dimensional cell using an internal barrier-rib structure to define discrete pixel locations.
Barrier ribs are one source of the tradeoffs inherent in PDP display technology. They are responsible, for example, for PDP's relatively coarse resolution, which appears to be limited to just over 30 pixels/inch, while TDEL has already been demonstrated at 44.5 pixel/inch levels. The potential resolution for TDEL may be as high as 60 pixels/inch, or twice the resolution of a comparable PDP. A TDEL display capable of accommodating both high-definition (720p) video and XGA-level computer data could thus be built in the 30- to 40-inch-diagonal range, while a PDP would require at least a 42- to 50-inch size.
Some PDP makers are working to optimize their barrier rib manufacturing processes — sand blasting, screen printing, etc. — in order to achieve finer geometries and, thus, higher resolution. But shrinking barrier ribs has two significant drawbacks. First, the smaller pixel cell area reduces the brightness of the display; and second, the smaller the ribs, the more fragile they become. The result of broken ribs is either low manufacturing yield, which raises cost; or the most disturbing of display defects — pixels that are always on. The iFire TDEL, on the other hand, employs a layer-by-layer structure, which, unlike PDP, does not require three-dimensional patterning such as barrier ribs or phosphor layers.
iFire Technology announces US$10 million in financing from Dai Nippon Printing to produce large-size flat panel displays
3 February 2004
Toronto, Canada – February 3, 2004 – iFire Technology Inc. today announced it has reached a US$10-million financing agreement with Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) of Japan. The funds will cover one-third of the capital cost to upgrade iFire's Toronto facility to enable pilot manufacturing of product-quality mid-30-inch sized flat panel displays. The pilot plant is designed to prove the lower-cost manufacturing advantages of iFire's proprietary thick dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) display technology. iFire Technology is a division of The Westaim Corporation.
The US$10-million financing is in the form of a loan from DNP to iFire. It is the intention of both parties that the financing relationship will be resolved as part of an expanded commercial agreement as the technology moves through pilot and into commercial production, or through repayment by iFire. iFire retains all rights to its proprietary technology. The pilot line is expected to be completed in the next 14 months and volume production is anticipated to begin in 2006.
"The agreement allows iFire to prove its manufacturing cost advantage over other flat panel display technologies, and supplements the significant contribution that DNP has already made,†said Anthony B. Johnston, President of iFire. "It also allows us to proceed with confidence as we move into pilot production and secure other third-party financial and commercialization arrangements.â€
The new financing arrangement expands the original joint development agreement that iFire entered into with DNP in March 2003, to include pilot production.
For pilot production, DNP is making available its primary production line in Kashiwa, Japan for front-end manufacturing of iFire's TDEL display technology. The front-end processes include substrate preparation and the fabrication of row electrodes and thick-film dielectric layers on 34-inch glass substrates. The partially complete panels are shipped to iFire's facility in Toronto, Canada, where the back-end processes such as the deposition of phosphors, column electrodes and color correction layers, as well as electronics assembly, are completed by iFire. In addition to demonstrating the lower manufacturing cost advantage, the pilot production project will utilize processes that will be used in large volume manufacturing.
"We look forward to playing a significant role in commercializing this very promising flat panel technology,†said Mr. Takashi Toida, Director of Corporate Research & Development of DNP.
With more than 15 years experience in plasma display panel development and production, DNP has experience in supplying and supporting the flat panel industry. DNP's commercial production technologies are directly transferable to the front-end manufacturing processes of an iFire™ display and are essential for achieving the low-cost potential of iFire™ displays.
"DNP recognizes that our technology has the potential to be a lower cost alternative to LCD manufacturing in both capital and operations,†said Mr. Johnston. "Our third party analysis shows that iFire's technology has the potential to provide a 50 per cent manufacturing cost advantage over LCD in a comparable Generation 6 manufacturing environment. This financial arrangement demonstrates DNP's confidence and intention to participate in development of iFire's display technology into a successful flat panel TV product.â€
With superior video performance characteristics and a projected 30 to 40 per cent manufacturing cost advantage over other flat panel display technologies, iFire's proprietary TDEL technology is poised to become the affordable, high performance alternative for the mass consumer flat panel television market. iFire plans to initially target the mid-30-inch screen size segment of the flat panel television market in partnership with major consumer electronics companies.
The Westaim Corporation's technology investments include: NUCRYST Pharmaceuticals, which researches, develops and commercializes wound care and pharmaceutical products based on its nanocrystalline silver technology; and iFire Technology, which has developed a revolutionary low-cost flat panel display. Westaim's common shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol WEDX and on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol WED.
Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. is the world's largest comprehensive printing company recording yearly US$11 billion in revenue (as of March 2003). Dai Nippon Printing was the first company in Japan to successfully develop shadow masks for color televisions. Applying its fundamental printing techniques and technologies, the company manufactures the markets' leading color filters for liquid crystal displays, and screens for rear projection televisions and back plates for plasma display panels.
iFire Technology's Pilot Plant Operational
3 January 2006
Toronto, Canada – January 3, 2006 – The Westaim Corporation today announced that its iFire Technology Corp. subsidiary's pilot production facility is operational. The pilot facility is intended to produce engineering samples of high-definition 34-inch flat panel display modules based on its proprietary thick dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) technology and to simulate manufacturing in a commercial environment.
"We have had excellent early output of TDEL panels from the initial runs through the pilot plant,†said Barry M. Heck, President & CEO of Westaim. "As we continue to ramp up pilot production we will be sharing TDEL displays produced in the pilot with OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and potential partners for their evaluation. iFire intends to begin demonstrating displays early this year.â€
The US$35-million pilot facility was completed on time and on budget. Through pilot production, iFire intends to complete the baseline processes for the manufacture of its displays and focus on continual improvements to both performance and manufacturing efficiency.
"As an emissive display technology, TDEL will offer a viewing experience that is much closer to the CRT and superior to other flat panel TV technologies,†said Nick Khoury, President of iFire. "In addition to better picture quality and a thinner, lighter form factor, TDEL offers lower capital investment and has a potential 30 to 40 percent manufacturing cost advantage compared to other technologies, which will translate into more affordable consumer products.â€
iFire expects to commercialize its technology in partnership with industry leaders and plans to initially target the 30- to 45-inch screen size television segment. The pilot plant will provide information and experience to allow iFire to work with partners to construct and operate the first volume production facility. Initial planning work for this facility is under way.
iFire Technology Corp. has developed a flat panel display with low cost and high performance potential called thick dielectric electroluminescent technology (TDEL). With superior video performance characteristics and a substantial manufacturing cost advantage over other flat panel display technologies, iFire's proprietary TDEL technology has the potential to become an affordable, high performance alternative for the mass consumer flat panel television market. iFire plans to initially target the 30- to 45-inch screen size segment of the flat panel television market in partnership with major consumer electronics companies.
In addition to iFire Technology, The Westaim Corporation's technology investments include NUCRYST Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: NCSTV; TSX: NCS), which develops, manufactures and commercializes medical products that fight infection and inflammation based on its nanocrystalline silver technology. Westaim's common shares are listed on NASDAQ under the symbol WEDX and on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol WED.
The next big (flat) thing
17 March 2006
There's something new happening at iFire Technology Corp. It's about two inches thick.
The Toronto-based maker of flat-screen television technology believes it is on the verge of revolutionizing the industry, giving consumers even thinner models at lower cost. In the process, iFire also believes it can transform from a largely unheard of technology manufacturer to a sector leader.
It's a long way from iFire's Toronto labs to the major leagues of the flat-screen consumer market, however. In the meantime, iFire's strategy may hold important lessons for other small businesses looking to find capital, partners and a consumer base.
The heart of iFire's new flatter screens is called thick-film dielectric electroluminescent technology (TDEL). If it sounds complicated, that's because it is. It's a new method to develop even thinner television sets and at less cost than traditional flat panel technology, and it was pioneered by Xingwei Wu, now iFire's vice-president of science and technology.
Among its benefits, TDEL has a reduced susceptibility to defects during the production process. It also allows for unrestricted viewing angles. And it's much cheaper to produce; iFire estimates TDEL, which can reduce thickness to about two inches, has a potential 30- to 50-per-cent module cost advantage over rival methods such as plasma and LCD panels.
Don Carkner, iFire's vice-president of product planning, says the quality of TDEL screens is better than traditional sets, giving consumers not just a TV they can truly hang on the wall but one that offers a better viewing experience.
Mr. Carkner has been with iFire from the company's creation, when the core technology being developed today was nothing more than a scientific experiment. Outside iFire's clean room, where employees tinker with the settings on the company's multimillion-dollar equipment, he described how engineers struggled for years to produce colours as vivid as those created by traditional TV sets.
But for many consumers the price may be the main hook. At a production cost of as low as $300 a unit, electronics stores may soon be carrying iFire-powered sets in the 37-inch range for less than $1,000. That's less than half the cost of many 37-inch traditional flat-screen models available today.
So far, so good. But a lot can happen between the company's labs and the electronics store showrooms.
That's where iFire's business strategy comes in. The company so far has developed only pilot versions of the 34-inch TDEL-based model. Mass production is targeted for 2007. Between now and then, iFire is working to find the right partners to make sure a promising technology doesn't turn into a commercial flop.
For years, iFire struggled as a business. The company's technology breakthrough came in 1997, but it was far from ready for production. Even though iFire engineers were able to present their new technology, the prototype was only a five-inch display. At larger screen sizes, researchers began to run into trouble. The company also had difficulty reproducing the colour blue with the same intensity as traditional screens, a problem that wouldn't be solved until 2001.
In a way, the company was stuck in a sort of Catch-22. Without partnerships that would allow it to scale up the screens, it was hamstrung. But as an obscure company whose prototypes were still small, iFire wasn't that attractive to those kinds of partners. That would all change when iFire linked with Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. of Japan, giving it the kind of scale and market experience it needs to enter the market in a big way.
Still, iFire also needs money to achieve those goals. While financially it's part of a public company, Westaim Corp., it still needs to produce results to attract investment. One of the major confidence boosts for the company came in April, 2001, when Technology Partnerships Canada announced a $30-million investment in iFire designed to accelerate development.
In its 10-year history, iFire has learned lessons that apply to many small businesses, regardless of ownership structure or industry.
For one thing, iFire is sticking with what it knows. The company has no intention of commercially producing TV sets from start to finish. Instead, it's working to perfect its technology. The rest is to be developed by other companies.
As such, iFire has been on the lookout for partners to accelerate development. In addition to Sanyo, iFire entered into a joint development agreement with Dai Nippon Printing Co., also based in Japan, for commercial production. DNP provided iFire with $10-million (U.S.) in financing and agreed to use its primary production line in Kashiwa, Japan, for the front-end manufacturing.
iFire is also focusing on a specific market when it comes to the final consumer product — screens in the mid-30- to mid-40-inch range. That's where the bulk of demand is likely to be at the consumer end, Mr. Carkner says.
But iFire is insulated from the traditional small business environment in a way most small businesses are not. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calagary-based Westaim, which has interests in, among other things, nanotechnology and pharmaceuticals. The advantages iFire gets from the setup are easy to see, as they include the new $35-million pilot production facility built this year alongside iFire's Toronto headquarters.
Because iFire is owned by Westaim, the company also has to do less work on the investor relations front. In effect, investors looking to put their money into iFire deal with Westaim, and the only investor-related calls the management team at iFire has to take are from Westaim itself.
But iFire's business model is not without setbacks. For one thing, the company is not as well known as its owner. As a result, iFire management teams have to work harder to attract partners and manufacturers.
"Some of them would say, 'Who are you again?'." Mr. Carkner says.
There's also the possibility iFire's revolutionary new technology will be superseded by another revolutionary technology developed by someone else. A host of global electronics companies are working on ways to bring down the cost and improve the quality of flat-screen panels.
iFire may also have to persuade more big-name players to sign on to develop TDEL sets before other companies and retailers begin to believe the technology is capable of shaking up the marketplace.
But if it succeeds, iFire may just change the way people view television.
A superthin, superlight flat screen
9 June 2006
Toronto-based electronics company iFire has created a new phosphor-based form of flat-panel high-definition television that it says is a "true hang on the wall."
Its 37-inch HDTV set is 2 centimeters thick and weighs less than 2.2 pounds.
Credit: iFireiFire's thick-film dialectric electroluminescent technology (TDEL) is a new method to develop thinner, less expensive flat-panel televisions. It uses lightweight materials, thinner glass, and fewer electronics than plasma. And unlike an LCD, it has no backlight.
Their Color by Blue display system uses energy from a blue light source (in this case, a sheet of blue phosphor), which energizes fluorescent pigments that emit green or red light. By combining the blue with the green and red light, the full color of an RGB (red green blue) video is displayed.
"We feel we need to make this quite compelling to compete with the LCD," said Don Carkner, iFire vice president of product planning. He said that with modules costing less than $300 per unit, iFire has one of the most cost-effective modules on the market.
IFire has developed only pilot versions of the TDEL-based model so far, but it plans to form a manufacturing partnership for mass production by 2007.
13 June 2006
Not plasma, not LCD, but new TV technology— with a price tag under $1,000
OUT of the blue, reseachers have developed a new technology that could put big-screen, high-definition TVs within reach of just about every wallet.
The technology, from Canadian tech firm iFire, would allow manufacturers to create super-sharp TVs less than two-inches thick that could hang on the wall - and cost less than $1,000.
The tiny company already has created 34-inch TVs that weigh in at just a few pounds, and 37-inch screens that would cost consumers half of what the cheapest similarly-sized TV sells for now.
"We can see them on the market by 2007," says iFire vice president Don Carkner.
Carkner says that the technology, called TDEL (thick film dielectric electroluminescent), is neither LCD nor plasma TV - but a new method that can create thinner, cheaper flat panel TVs using lightweight materials and simple electronics.
The new TVs would be much cheaper to build than LCD and plasma TVs that are currently on sale for prices starting at $2,000 - and climbing sharply from there.
The company is currently searching for a manufacturing partner willing to build a factory or two.
But technology experts say iFire is facing an uphill battle against major manufacturers who have already invested billions in developing LCD and plasma displays and probably won't want to nurture a technology that could one day render both obsolete.
"These other technologies [LCD and plasma] are not going to give up easy," says Barry Young, a senior vice president at DisplaySearch, a market research and consulting firm that focuses exclusively on the flat-panel display industry.
Young says that the clock is ticking for iFire.
The price of LCD and plasma manufacturers are dropping every year and they may be able to sell the same-sized TVs for nearly the same price by 2010.
"The question for iFire, is: how soon can they get to market?" says Young.
That could prove to be tough, says Forrester Research vice president Josh Bernoff. "The distance between a new technology and the ability to manufacture it efficiently can be very long."
The major set manufacturers yesterday could not immediately provide officials to comment.
iFire Technology Introduces 34-inch Inorganic EL Panel
15 June 2006
iFire Technology Corp. demonstrated 34-inch inorganic EL panels produced at its pilot fabrication line that came on line in January 2006. The pixel count is 1280x760. Located in Toronto, Canada, the pilot plant was established in October 2004 with expenditures of $35 million, and has been dedicated to retaining mass production technology.
The company plans to continue to fabricate 30~45-inch inorganic EL panels for the time being. With regard to commercial TVs incorporating inorganic EL panels, it intends to draw up a specific plan in 2006, in cooperation with its partners. Panel technology challenges for mass production are to firstly reduce panel defects, secondly improve light emission efficiency, and lastly achieve the resolution of 1080p.

By the time this and OLED makes it to the marketplace, LCDs' will be as cheap as CRT's are now.
Might have to sell my 23" DuMont..................

Free, abundant OTA television separates this country from many others. ATSC1 has only been in force since 2009. The wireless industry has enough spectrum. Enough of 'planned obsolesce'.

My Cabbage Rolls
Total Time
1hr 55mins
Prep 40 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
This is my favourite cabbage roll recipe. They are low-fat, easy to make, produce high yield, and are cleaned up whatever party I bring them to. They provide all four food groups in one dish.
Ingredients Nutrition
For filling
- 1 kg extra lean ground beef
- 1 carrot
- 2 medium onions (I use VIdalia or red)
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup raw long grain rice
For wrap
- 25 steamed cabbage leaves
For sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes (or fresh ones)
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 liter tomato sauce (unsweetened)
- 2⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- sour cream
- Take the cabbage head and core. Use one big head or two medium sized heads. Carefully peel 25 outer leaves, preferring the green ones.
- Using a pot of hot water, or a bamboo steamer, steam them for 3 - 5 minutes, until pliable. Set aside.
- Make the filling.
- Take one wilted leaf, and put a lime sized ball of filling inside. Tuck the top end, and sides and turn upside down into the pan. Continue until all lettuce leaves have been used.
- Mix the sauce and pour over the cabbage rolls.
- Cover each pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated 475F oven for 1 hour. Uncover, and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Well when we got to the airport and tried to check in for our flight home the airlines told us the flight was booked by Travelocity but no agreement had been signed yet to take care of the cost so the ticket agent called Travelocity and tried to get everything cleared up for us and she put us on the phone with Rachael from Travelocity who told me that I could do one of 2 things either pay for the flight that was booked or stay in Hawaii for 2 more weeks and then they could get us another flight, she told me that if we payed that night for the flight that we would be given a full refund after submiting all receipts when we got back home. This all took place on April 6, 2008 and I submitted all the receipts as told and have still never received any refund for the flight we payed for that night ($3,100.40) or even the flight we paid for with the first backrupt airline.
I have e-mailed several times and called several times and get the same answer they are looking into it.
I was lied to by several people who were representing Travelocity and I urge anyone thinking of using there services to think again.

Fantasy sports w/Scott Engel
Send your questions now and join Engel in The Show on Friday at 3 p.m. ET!
Fantasy Football Archive: Chats | Fantasy Home Page
Matt (Greenville, NC)
Is Wes Welker a top-20 WR headed into 08'? Thanks!
Scott Engel (2:59 PM)
Good afternoon everyone! Yes, I would even say he is a top 10 guy, especially in PPR leagues - he's Brady's best possession guy
Mike (Albany, NY)
Hi Scott, thanks for taking my question. I'm in a keeper auction league can keep 3. I have A. Peterson and LJ for $5 so they are no-brainers. Who should be my 3rd? (Palmer $35, B. Marshall $5 or M. Turner $5)? PLEASE HELP!
Scott Engel (3:01 PM)
Marshall for sure - he had his expected breakthrough season in 2007 and that is a great price to keep him at
Dakota Davidson spring tx,
who should i pick owen daniels or antonio gates
Scott Engel (3:03 PM)
In a keeper league, I would definitely go with Gates - he should continue to be the best player at his poisition
Scott- Pick 3(not a PPR) A. Peterson(CHI), D. Rhodes, K. Smith, A. Stecker. Thanks, Dylan
Scott Engel (3:05 PM)
In a keeper league, I would throw all thoase guys back and keep the draft choices if you don't have anything btter
Jake (VA Beach)
In a 2 back league with a flex, do I keep LJ or Wayne. I already have LT, Addai and Grant.
Scott Engel (3:07 PM)
If you already have three running backs, Wayne is th eobvious guy, as he clearly became one of the best WRs in fantasy this past season and beacme Indianapolis' certain No. 1 target
Brian (ORL)
Playoff league. No changes allowed. 1 player per team max. Would you rather have Brady and Addai or Manning and Moss? Also, would you take a chance on TO? Or would you use another Dallas player?
Scott Engel (3:10 PM)
I would rather have Addai for more touches than Moss as Brady and Manning could play pretty evenly overall until the Super Bowl - Of all the Cowboys, Owens is the one I want
Brian (San Francisco)
In a dynasty league who would you rather have, Greg Olsen or Todd Heap?
Scott Engel (3:10 PM)
Olsen - he has a ton of upside and Heap can't seem to stay healthy - by his third year, Olsen will be a top fantasy TE
tyler (st louis,mo)
hey scott could u please answer this question, i get to keep 4 who should i keep out of: mcgahee, s jax, fitz, mcnabb, garrard, deangelo williams, branch
Scott Engel (3:13 PM)
McGahee and Jackson give you a great duo of young running backs, possibly for years to come. Fitzgerald has clearly arrived as a top fantasy WR and his best years are actually ahead of him. Garrard will be steady every year - those are the four I would keep
Scott Engel (3:18 PM)
My picks for this weekend's games - Seahawks 24, Redskins 20. Buccaneers 20, Giants 13. Jaguars 28, Steelers 21. Chargers 31, Titans 13.
know no one, moon
Please remark on the whole Dungy may sit starters thought process from week 16. Love your work. Thanks
Scott Engel (3:24 PM)
Thanks - it's simple actually - you don't want to rest your guys too much with two weeks to go - you have to keep them on the field enough to stay warm and in rhythm - fortunately, Manning playe dlong enough to throw three TD passes
Joe (Philadelphia)
Is it worth keeping jamal lewis? we get to keep 4, and i have Brady, Addai, Edwards, and i am lookin at keeping either lewis, anquan boldin, or larence maroney.
Scott Engel (3:25 PM)
I would keep Maroney, who will have his true breakthrough year in 2006 after looking good late in '07 - how Lewis will fare will all depend on if he stays in Cleveland and whether he gets another one-year deal, which seemed to really motivate him this past season
Scott Engel (3:31 PM)
Here are my playoff game ranks for this weekend - top 5s QB - Hasselbeck, Garrard, Roethlisberger, Garcia, Collins RB - Tomlinson, Portis, Fred Taylor, Graham, Jones-Drew WR - Galloway, Burress, Branch, Engram, Santana Moss TE - Gates, Heath Miller, Kevin Boss, Marcedes Lewis, Pollard K - Suisham, Johsn Borwn, Jeff reed, Tynes, Kaeding D/ST - Chargers, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Jaguars, Steelers
Brandon Jacobs[nj]
Why are u hating on us?U always project me with bad stats.Now u pick us to lose to tampa.Come on now.whats the deal?
Scott Engel (3:32 PM)
It's not hate - just being realistic - the Ginats played over their heads against NE and Eli is not going to win on the road against a tough defense
Frank Murray, NYC
Since fantasy football season is over think you can put up a less scary serious mug shot? I gulp every time I log on to your chats. Thanks great season!
Scott Engel (3:33 PM)
Fantasy football is serious, and you shouldn't be concerned with my looks. All I hope is maybe i helped you have a good season.
Scott Engel (3:36 PM)
After the first round, I see this - TB upsets Dallas, Green Bay edges Seattle in the NFC. Packers over Bucs in NFC title game. In the AFC, Jags and Colts get eliminated before thr real Super Bowl, a close, exciting NE win over Indy - then Pats over Pack in the Super Bowl
Hey Scott...which young RB do you think will have the most productive career?...Kolby Smith,Selvin Young,Kenny Watson or Tony Hunt??
Scott Engel (3:37 PM)
Smith will likely be a backup for along time, and Watson may only be good for a year or two if he continues to start - Hunt will be a goal-line guy for awhile if anything - Young has the most upside if Shanahan gives him the chance to play regularly
Brady (Colorado)
You should put up another photo. I've been going around and thanking the fantasy guys. I'm not thanking you. You've screwed me over more than once. Luckly I'm smart enough to make my own decisions and win my league championship. Now I know why you aren't in the GMC Pro League: Cause you suck. I hate you as a fantasy "expert", not a person.
Scott Engel (3:41 PM)
Actually, I was in the GMC Pro League. Thanks for the love. I know it's not anything personal. Congrats on your title. And I will be certain not to lose any sleep based on your dislike of my work. And if you are so smart, why are you blaming me for screwing you? I thought you could make your own decisions. Peace.
Scott..this is my keeper team starters going into next season...Hasselbeck,J.Lewis,Edge,TO,Colston and H miller. what are your thoughts??
Scott Engel (3:43 PM)
I think you have obviously drafted well and have a solid team as things look now - if James does not stay in Arizona that could make your outlook even more positive
Brady from colorado.SUCKS!!!
Scott Engel (3:44 PM)
Wow - I guess he has haters too - LOL!
Brian (Tulsa, OK)
Wow! Lots of hate toward you today, Scott. I think you do an above average job. What's your view on Steven Jackson next year? Thinking he could slip to mid first round sleeper.
Scott Engel (3:45 PM)
Thanks Brian, I can take it. I'm glad to be here, especially for people like you. I think he could slip to mid-first, yes, but he is too well-established to be categorized as any type of sleeper
Thomas (Birmingham)
Gloating, I won my super-competitive trash talking fantasy league with Charlie Batch and John Kitna (In spite or Kitna, really) in the final weeks. I'm tempted to scream it from the rooftops. How much crowing is too much?
Scott Engel (3:47 PM)
Your league members likely will not want to hear it, but I have given you full space to gloat here, and congratulations
Brandon Jacobs[nj]
When we beat tampa.And i truck thru their de. Do u think u can try an bring me down?
Scott Engel (3:48 PM)
I like Jacobs - but I am speaking objectively, not as a fan which you may be doing
Have you heard that Edge is leaving Ariz??
Scott Engel (3:50 PM)
From our Rotowire updates James is disappointed that he did not play a larger role in Arizona's offense this season, according to the Arizona Republic. He might not return to the team in 2008, according to the East Valley Tribune. James did rank second in the NFL in carries. He is scheduled to make $7 million next season and the cash-strapped Cardinals may move in a less expensive direction.
of course you shouldn't take these criticism seriously, but don't you just wanna laugh at these idiots who blame you experts for giving them your "OPINION"...it's so easy for these morons to point fingers when something goes wrong, but shouldn't these nitwits point their fingers at themselves for listening in the 1st place?...by the way, i think you experts do an admirable job...
Scott Engel (3:52 PM)
Thanks Lee - I try - I never said my takes were going to be perfect and my intention is to only help people if I can - fantasy football is a tricky game and you have to expect the unexpected and not look for a target when things do not go your way.
Sean (Philly)
What do you think of DeAngelo Williams next year? He seemed to be getting more carries later in the year.
Scott Engel (3:55 PM)
By the end of the season, it was clear he was a better RB than Foster, but I have yet to believe he won;t be anything more than boom or bust if he plays regularly
Thomas (Birmingham)
Gloating aside, all of my leagues have been standard draft leagues. What do you recommend doing to set up a keeper league next year? I'm familiar with the concept, but unsure how to move forward.
Scott Engel (3:57 PM)
Do it based on next year's draft, of course, and depending on league size, two to four keepers is best. Teams lose draft picks in the round in which they originally drafted the player
Mike (Fresno)
Fantasy football is not just a tricky game. The fact that Thomas from Birmingham won his league with Charlie Batch in the lineup proves that there is a lot of luck involved, as well.
Scott Engel (3:58 PM)
Good point, Mike - there is an element of that as well. Al lwe can do is set our best possible lineups based on educating ourselves and then hope for optimum results
Sean (Philly)
How would you feel about your keepers being Cadilac, Walker, and Welker as 10,9,8 picks? I traded my future for LT who goes back into the draft this year.
Scott Engel (4:00 PM)
I would only keep Welker, and throw those other two guys back to retain the draft choices

Brandon Jacobs lives next door to me.He is the blue incredible hulk.dont make him angry.u wont like him when hes angry!
Scott Engel (4:01 PM)
Thanks Fred! Guess that makes me the reporter that follows him? You know, that guy never did find out who Banner really was! Great TV series. :)
Frank Murray, NYC
You took a beating today...but came out with some backers! Now I know you are a serious dude.
Scott Engel (4:03 PM)
Thanks Frank - I don't take it to heart - this is all in fun and I can take the bad with the good - Happy New Year! Thanks a lot everyone!

YouTube Down Again in China
YouTube is once again inaccessible in China, after briefly reappearing on Monday.
Last week, the video-sharing site became inaccessible in China , around the same time that the Tibetan Government-In-Exile released a video allegedly showing Chinese forces beating Tibetans during protests last spring.
The Chinese government doesn't address blocking specific sites, but a Foreign Ministry spokesman asked about it last week said the government had "taken up management of the network according to the laws."
Over the weekend, access to the site appeared to return — at least in some parts of the country — according to YouTube's own traffic logs and access statistics kept by Herdict Web at Harvard University.
The return seems to have coincided with the launch of Google's Chinese music service, although there's no clear causal relationship between the two events, since the music service doesn't connect to YouTube.
Google spokesman Scott Rubin said he doesn't know why the site is down again. "We're working to resolve it and restore access to our users in China," he said.
An enduring mystery is why the entire site has been blocked, instead of links to a few specific videos. China has demonstrated the ability in the past to block access to specific addresses or keywords on YouTube and other foreign media sites. Access to all of YouTube has been restricted before, including October 2007 and March 2008, during a period of unrest in Tibet.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Richmond County Deputies respond to a house fire Wednesday night.
The fire broke out around 8 o'clock at 2425 Turkey Trail. That's off Windsor Spring Road in Augusta.
When firefighters got to the house it was about 60 percent engulfed in flames.
The home owner was at home and was sleeping when the fire started. The smoke woke him up.
He opened his bedroom door and saw flames but was able to escape out the back door.
He was not injured but the house was extensively damaged.
There's no word on how the fire started, but firefighters say it appeared to be accidental.

Most Helpful
These were good and easy to make. Next time I would season the potatoes before cooking. I would add some pepper and onion powder to the butter mixture next time. Ours took about 25 minutes to cook. We all enjoyed these.
Delicious! These were a huge success. The potatoes are nice and crisp (I cooked mine for 40 minutes) and the toppings are so yummy. I will definitely be making these again. Thank you!
My family ate these all up, with NOOOO complaints! Just oohs and ahs! Now, I did bake the potatoes whole the day before when I was baking some for the night before. Stored them in the fridge, sliced them, heated them in the micro for 2 minutes...then added the other stuff, but had to use less butter, which was my main goal. I used all low fat ingredients: 2 % cheddar, turkey bacon pieces, fat free sour cream, and of course, topped with sliced green onions. :) Thanks for the idea...much easier than trying to hollow out baked potatoes!!!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (July 10, 2014) – In its first two-plus
weeks, the Institute for Nonprofit Innovation and Excellence has generated
significant excitement in the area's nonprofit community.
The INIE's soft-launch event in June led to 19 organizations
signing up with the Institute in just 14 days.
"As a small nonprofit organization, we are always searching
for access to networks and services that are affordable and coordinated in a
way that serves the nonprofit sector," said Steve Starke, executive director of
Good News Outreach. "This is an exciting opportunity for those of us who serve
people in need."
Lonnie Parizek, director of communications for the Ounce of Prevention
Fund, praised the INIE's provision of access to quality educational, training
and networking programs.
"In addition to being a member, we are also looking forward
to sharing our expertise as a training partner," Parizek said. "The training
scheduled to date is affording nonprofits an opportunity for high-level
learning taught by top-level professionals. This has truly been a labor of love
by the INIE staff, board and advisors."
"The community response has been tremendous," said Kimberly
A. Moore, vice president for workforce development at Tallahassee Community College and INIE board member. "It
really does speak to the varying needs that exist among the nonprofit sector
and the impact that can be made when you design a seamless, coordinated
The INIE's reach already extends beyond the borders of Leon
County. Grace Robinson, director of the Gadsden Arts Center, joined for the
development of her staff, her organization and the Institute as a whole.
"Nonprofits in different arenas have similar needs and
challenges, and we all have different expertise to share," said Robinson. "I
think networking among nonprofit professionals and the educational aspect for
organizational development are very important."
Starke noted that many of the services the INIE is expected
to provide, such as human resources consultation and legal advice, will help to
cut costs for cash-strapped nonprofits.
"I would encourage all of the nonprofit community to join
this venture," he said. "We're going to see great things happen in the future
as we work together."
The INIE will begin formal training sessions in August with
a pair of instructional seminars licensed by the Association of Fundraising

While doing the tattoo he was talking about his aspiring dj career, and then he started talking about the parties that he does and a bunch of stuff that I did not care about being that I am not into the drug and party scene, when the tattoo was finished it was totally different than what appeared on the picture that he had drawn, it looked like a drawing from the artchie comic books and I was completely unsatisfied with the final result and let him know it at which time he proceeded to tell me that there was nothing that he could do about the tattoo now and that I needed to come back to get it fixed once the tattoo was healed, anyway I left the shop completely unsatisfied but the worst was yet to come, turns out that I caught a really bad infection my arm swelled up and it was very painful, after going to the doctor and taking antibiotics it took nearly two months for the arm to heal up, now i am getting ready to go through the laser process to get the rest of this ugly reminder off of my arm.
If you are looking for a profesional tattoo do not go to Lance Bowen at Atomic tattoo in lakeland, maybe he just had a bad day or should I say a good night out before he came to work but it was unprofesional. I havent tried to contact him or the company because I just don't think that I will get any money back. So just for a warning Lance Bowen will just rip you off and do a bad job.
