And I do want to do one or two more cycles just to put my mind at rest that I did do everything possible with my OE. So I think rather than any big discussions, I'll just present the facts to DH without a lot of emotion and just say this is what I want to do, this is the time frame, these are the costs and then it ends because I'll be 45, but I want that opportunity. I can't see him saying no to that, especially as I normally don't produce any more than one egg so it doesn't even get to EPU so our chances of getting two or three are slim.
If we did split I'm not sure whether I'd go the DE/DS single mother path, I guess I could only tell that once I was in that situation and had my life settled again. But I could see myself living out the song "All I want to do is make love to you" - remember that cheesy one where she had a one night stand with a hot guy purposely to fall pregnant?? LOL

text: Cast: 3w. Kathy, a journalist frustrated by disappointments in her job and in her personal life, is sent to a nursing home to interview the residents about "the good old days." Today's interview is with Lydia, an uncooperative, opinionated elderly woman who entertains herself by faking senility. Lydia switches identities with her sister Loretta, asks pointed questions about Kathy's divorce and needles Kathy about her appearance. But there are also gritty revelations about the hard fight that Lydia's life has been—"No doctors, no hospitals, no medicine! I lost two little girls in three years! No picnic."—that puncture the myth of "the good old days" and make Kathy's troubles seem insignificant. Kathy's exasperation with this blunt, uncompromising woman turns to respect, affection and finally, that sincerest form of flattery, imitation. One int. set. Approximate Running Time: 30 minutes.

Events are transpiring at a rapid pace!
Just a warning, about to rant on and on about that new Harry Potter-verse movie. If you love Harry Potter, it's okay to totally disagree with me! *SPOILERS*
Man, I do not get Harry Potter. Admittedly, I didn't read the books as they were released, and I may have already been too old or already exposed to a lot of other fantasy authors when Rowling was on the rise. I've always found the Harry Potter books and movies frustrating contradictions. The world established in the series is one built on whimsical fantasy, with silly names like "Hogwarts" and "Dumbledore". It's full of magic trains and candy, and quirky magical creatures and characters. But the stories most often told in the Harry Potter universe are dark, angsty, and permeated by a theme of death and suffering. Maybe that's part of the appeal of the franchise for some, but it's always felt like stories diametrically opposed to the world they're set in. Aside from Prisoner of Azkaban, I can't say I really love any of the films, and that one only because of some clever time travel, which actually opens a whole well of plot holes in the entire series, if we're being honest.
Anyway, the whole reason I bring this up is because I'd kinda hoped that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them would be a new beginning, one where we could finally tell some whimsical stories that worked in the context of the world. Instead we got a film about child abuse (*spoilers* the child dies). The first 15 or 20 minutes don't bother to tell us who any of the main characters are, we just watch them bumble around watching each other with little context given. There's also a lot of slapstick comedy to establish the tone of the film, but once all the protagonists are introduces, we immediately jump to some political family that plays basically no role in the film, and then a hyper religious woman who physically and emotionally abuses her gaggle of adopted children, especially an older boy that she beats with a belt. It's tonal whiplash and sucks all the fun and energy out of the film. The whole movie is very slow, doling out information at a snail's pace.
Also, it seems every magic using character can teleport without reservation or restriction. Several times, the main character goes through a difficult or inconvenient scenario that would've been possible to completely bypass with a teleport. At the beginning of the film, he goes through customs when entering the U.S., and his magical creature suitcase is almost discovered. Yet he could've simply teleported from the ship onto the dock, avoiding customs security altogether. Another time he enters a jewelry store not by teleporting inside, but by shattering the store side window, attracting the police. The main character is played off as competent with magical creatures but otherwise a lousy people person and somewhat absent minded outside of anything pertaining to his interest. Unfortunately, he mostly comes off as an unobservant idiot.
I also have little faith in the American branch of wizarding society, since their police force seems wildly incompetent. They couldn't even set up a security perimeter around a wizarding world leaders summit! One of the characters, a lady cop who'd been suspended from the force, walks right into this summit meeting and everyone's just like "what's she doing here?" Post some guards at the door, guys! You're here to talk about a terrorist dark wizard threat, for potter's sake!
The music in the film is trying SO HARD. The soundtrack works overtime to deliver emotional impact, sometimes with musical queues at odds with what's actually happening on screen, but there's jut not a lot of chemistry between the characters to get invested in. Probably the best of the cast is a muggle baker who just gets dragged along for 'reasons'. He's the only person genuinely having a good time throughout the story, but in the end, he's basically told to stand in a corner for the film's entire finale, rendering his character mostly pointless.
The finale itself feels like a huge turning point in the franchise lore that should actually contradict the previous eight films (since this is a prequel, after all). Basically a good chunk of New York is outright demolished by a rampaging magical creature (who happens to be the belt-beaten orphan boy, because 'magic'). the creature/abused boy is murdered by fifty wizards shooting it to death with wands in a sewer, but the destructive aftermath of the battle is immense. It seems like there's no way to keep the magical world a secret anymore, but then the wizards just wipe the entire city's memory by poisoning the water supply and reversing time so that none of the destruction happened. But were there any fatalities in all those destroyed buildings? Can these wizards even reverse DEATH? In the end, the magic on display in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is so over powered and deus ex machina that any story tension is completely destroyed by the ending.
If the film had been about a quirky British wizard breaking all sorts of magic laws in an attempt to find some magical creatures in 1920's New York, I probably would've loved the film. Instead, it's just a slow, sloppy, plodding story with a lot of plot holes and very little whimsy to speak of…

We're rapidly approaching the launch of our Volume 2 Kickstarter! Joe's working out the financial details to determine our ideal monetary goal, but we'll have an exact number soon enough. We're intending to launch the kickstarter NEXT WEEK, fingers crossed. Tell your friends! We're currently editing together our video pitch, which is going to have a rad semi-animated opening bit, and I have some completed Volume 2 cover art to show! I tried to incorporate characters from most of the big scenes that will be in in the book. I realize the bandits are conspicuously absent, but I'm sure they'll be prominently displayed on Volume 3. I also included our new logo logo designs, which I think really pop much better than the old version.

I wanted to post my work-in-progress for the Volume 2 cover. I threw in all the major volume 2 characters, they get smaller as you go from primary to tertiary. It's missing Suzuka and Masuhiro, though, but I feared it becoming too busy. Minor details to note, Ken's in his Kabuki outfit, and Bunzo's carrying a rock!

I saw How to Train Your Dragon 2 yesterday, and although my initial impression was that I enjoyed it more than the first film, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became with several elements. So now I'm going to dump out my thoughts on HTTYD2, the sequel to a movie that I think is one of Dreamworks animation's two masterpieces (the other being Kung Fu Panda). It's going to read very negative, but I just want to put a disclaimer that I did dig this film, and it's absolutely worth seeing! Also SPOILERS.
I'll start with what I loved about the movie. Its first half is expertly paced. For the first hour, they elegantly reintroduce the main characters and their personalities and then slide into the set up for mysterious off screen conflict that had me completely engaged. The introduction of Valka, Hiccup's mother, was emotionally powerful, and I was incredibly eager to find out more about her history. I also loved the movie's visuals. The aged up character looks crazy cool, and basically all the cinematography is on an epic scale. The soundtrack is swelling and heroic, and although I want to fault John Powell for overusing the main theme, it is SUCH A GREAT MAIN THEME, so I can't be that down on it. But then the movie starts answering questions to all the mysteries it's set up, and things begin to get muddled. They don't exactly fall apart but we're never given definitive explanations for a lot of what transpires.
Valka quickly becomes a bewildering character. Why did she never return home? She says she tried to convince everyone in Berk, many times before she was dragon-napped, to stop fighting dragons. She then says she didn't think she could ever change anyone's mind about the peaceful nature of dragons if she returned after she was taken. WHAT?? That's like an alien abductee suddenly being best buds with a peaceful alien civilization that she can leave and come back to anytime she wants, but she doesn't think bringing a friend to see the alien civilization will be a convincing argument for its existence! Seriously, lady, bring me to your alien civilization and I will, at the very least, strongly consider believing its existence is possible. She also says she thought her family would be better off without her, although she gives no explanation as to why.
She then claims that after she was carried off by a dragon and discovered how great and peaceful dragons were, she decided to help protect them from the film's villain, Drago Bludvist, instead of returning home. Well that might be a good reason not to return home, but it also raises a number of questions as to the relationship between Valka and Bludvist. Has this Bludvist guy been terrorizing dragons for the past 20 years? And over the past five years how has this group of dragon hunters not come across or been lead straight to Berk? The movie is kind of vague as to whether or not Bludvist is a returning threat from a previous generation or if he's been doing his evil 'capture dragons' thing for 20 years, but if Valka's been tending the dragons for all that time, then one would assume he's been actively hunting them for the same length.
To explain Valka's 20 year absence better, I could put together a plausible scenario where Valka fell in love with her new dragon friends very quickly, saw the damage being done to them by Bludvist, and decided helping them was a more necessary cause to focus on than returning home and raising her child. I could see how she would feel very guilty about that decision, which would explain why she's so concerned about what Stoick may think of her when they meet up after twenty years. But this all requires a lot of mental arithmetic to piece together and is not clearly stated or depicted in the film. Maybe this is all a minor gripe, but a simple line of Valka stating to Hiccup "I wanted to come home, to be with you, but keeping the dragons safe from Bludvist was too important to me, and I knew your father would raise you well," would have clarified it all and left me feeling a lot more satisfied with her backstory. And then, of course, after she reconnects with Stoick she's given virtually nothing to do for the rest of the movie!!Now THAT'S frustrating! In the end, her character is wildly under utilized and seems to have no other purpose than to make Stoick's death more tragic and show where Hiccup gets all his dragon training abilities from (which is genetic now, I guess, maybe).
Also, both Bludvist and Valka can seemingly control two alpha dragons, but it's never stated how they both know how to do this. It's implied they're both using the same type of staff that they wag around in the air, but where did they get the staffs? How do they each have one? It feels like they should have more of history together than is ever stated. If she'd had any history with Bludvist, then I would've liked to see him acknowledge her, or exchange some dialog with her when they briefly face off to tie them together more.
So when I really get down to it, my main problem with this film is Drago Bludvist. He feels as though he should be the unifying keystone of this film, the character that brings the three major plot threads together. Those three threads are: Hiccup meeting his mother, Hiccup deciding to be the new village chief, and Bludvist's desire to conquer the world. And, to his credit, he does do that, but it doesn't quite come together in as impactful and satisfying a conclusion as the first film's finale. I'm mostly disappointed at Bludvist's lack of a back story and unclear motivation. We're told that he wants to fight the dragon menace, but that he controls dragons, and he wants to fight dragons with dragons. But then Hiccup surmises that Bludvist just wants to conquer and subjugate people, at which point Bludvist reveals he lost an arm to a dragon attack at some point, thus showing how dragons deserve to be controlled? And that's his motivation? He's basically a one note villain who wants to conquer the world because 'reasons', and instead of being a close minded counterpoint to Hiccup's liberal open mindedness, he ends up being just some bad guy with an ability to make dragons listen to him.
I wanted Hiccup to change Drago's mind about his own motivations, because that's kind of Hiccup's thing. I wanted him to piece together how to get this stubborn jerk to be less of a jerk through logic and evidence and reason. But since Bludvist's motivations are so vague, there's no counterpoint Hiccup can present that could ever change Drago's mind. You have to know someone's point of view before you can even hope to change it. This kind of muddles the theme of the film, which I'm still unsure of. I feel like the series' first film was based on the theme of open mindedness and seeing from other points of view, and I'm not really sure the second film needed a new theme, just to present the old one in a new way. While the first film is more about being open to new experiences, and overcoming unwarranted fears perpetuated by heresy, the second film could've been about letting go of conflict perpetuated by justifiable hate. It could've been about letting go of anger that's actually warranted to stop perpetuated violence.
If, despite Stoick's death, Hiccup had still pushed for Drago Bludvist to change his ways, had even beaten him in combat and, as Drago lay under Hiccup's boot, Hiccup had continued to argue for the end of conflict without further bloodshed, that would've been far more powerful to me. Instead, the film's message almost comes off as "Sometimes you just need to fight people who don't believe in what you believe in!" Sometimes that may be a legitimate message, but I feel like this series isn't the one that should be delivering it.
Other thoughts:
Stoick's death is very sudden and Hiccup recovers from it extremely quickly. The music barely had time to get sad for the viking funeral before it was back to being soaring and hopeful again!
The side characters did nothing of consequence for the most part, other than establish a running gag concerning Ruffnut's romantic non relationship with nearly every boy in the movie, which never pays off! (I did laugh at this quite a bit, in full disclosure)
Drago has a huge army in one scene, and then the next time we see him it's GONE! Drago, you forgot to bring your army to Berk!!
The only character with a complete character arc is dragon trapper Eret, who finishes his arc just before the climax of the film, leaving him with nothing to do during the finale (just like everyone else).
Toothless murdered Hiccup's dad!! I wish Stoick had survived but been incapacitated, and then, seeing how well Hiccup handled the crisis afterwards, could've run off with Valka to go travelling the world on a 'greenpeace for dragons' type mission, leaving Hiccup in charge of Berk. Then the happy couple could return with a dragon army or something in the sequel! BUT NO HE'S DEAD NOW SORRY.
Did Drago die at the end of the movie? Did he escape? Everything about this guy is vague, even his ultimate fate!
Watching the two Alphas battle it out in the background was super cool.
I dig that Fishlegs rides his dragon like it's a Harley. I instantly liked him a whole lot more because of that. But then he never did anything in the whole movie!
There wasn't a whole lot of dragon training going on in this movie!
I can't wait for How to Train Your Dragon 3! (No, seriously, I still love this series!)
Published on by Alex Kolesar | 25 Comments on How to Train Your Dragon 2 Is Good, BUT…
Excuse my fanboy geek out party, but here it goes.
I am pumped for Star Wars Rebels, and you should be too! One of the biggest reasons for my excitement is the entirely original cast! Sure, we all love Obiwan Kenobi and Yoda, and I think some people out there even like Anakin, but I found their animated series to be missing something. It's not that the familiar characters of The Clone Wars series didn't have plenty of history to expand on, but their fates and personalities were mostly locked in place. Worse yet, their fates were locked into tragedy! It's hard to root for the hero when you know he's going to turn into a child murderer. The best The Clone Wars could hope for is to help justify the jarring, uneven events of episode 3. I found myself struggling to give a care about almost anything that happened in the mid prequel timeline, except for one shining beacon of light.
Amidst all the banality of The Clone Wars was Ahsoka, a likeable character with a clean slate! Would she face a tragic and/or heroic death? Would she change sides and join the Separatists? Her final story arc was easily the best storytelling the series had to offer purely because it was a character we cared about thrust into dire circumstances with an unwritten conclusion! Watching her character grow, and being able to ponder on her unknown fate was what kept me coming back to the series, and slogging through all the storylines that foolishly exempted her, of which there were many.
Now, take That enjoyment of watching a new character grow and change over meaningful story arcs, and multiply it to an entire cast of characters! For those not in the know, Greg Weisman, the main creative mind behind the fantastic Disney animated series Gargoyles and lead writer of the equally fantastic and far too short lived Young Justice, is also the lead writer for Rebels. I was excited for the new series before I found this out, but afterwards, my hype train made the jump to hyper space!
Weisman has a way of introducing cool characters, and then slowly revealing their back stories in ways that make his series' infinitely more complex and exciting. Think of the history of Demona and Macbeth in Gargoyles. These two characters, when introduced separately, were immediately engaging, but the reveal of their history together took their stories to a whole other level of sophistication, on top of making all their future encounters significantly more dramatic! It also makes a subsequent viewing of the Gargoyles series more insightful. Artemis from Young Justice is also a great example of this, as her family history is slowly revealed over the course of the series.
Weisman is a master of foreshadowing and engaging character building. Now take his talent for building complex characters, and stick that smack in the middle of the Star Wars universe, especially one of the most exciting time periods in the saga, with the rise of the underdog Rebellion and the full might of the Galactic Empire. The potential for Empire Strikes Back levels of action and drama is overwhelming, and a majority of Star Wars fans would agree that Empire is the best the franchise has to offer in terms of dramatic reveals, character arcs, and relationship building. On that note, the head writer of Empire Strikes Back, Lawrence Kasdan, is also the head screenwriter for Episode 7, giving me a great deal of hope for the future of the film franchise as well! But I'll leave that for another post.

The bench press is THE upper body exercise. This exercise is used to measure the upper body strength of an individual. In line with your heaviest lifts, this should be third heaviest behind the dead lift and the squat.
Bench pressing is a compound exercise; an exercise where it works more than one muscle group over more than one joint. Primarily it is used to work the chest muscles; pectorals major and minor but it will also work the triceps, deltoids and the core.
- Step 1:
Lie with your back flat on the bench with your feet planted so that you have a steady base to push from when bench pressing a heavier amount.
- Step 2:
Dismount the barbell off the rack with a shoulder width grip.
- Step 3:
Controlling the motion, lower the barbell until it is just off the chest.
- Step 4:
Press the bar vertically to a position where there is a slight bend at your elbows.
- Step 5:
Whilst at the top position, take a deep breath and repeat
- When performing with heavier weights ensure there is a spotter to help if needed.
- When pressing do not arch your back excessively.
- To benefit more of your core, this can be performed with dumbbells.

COLUMBIA - The state House on Wednesday approved new regulations on the payday lending industry, but stopped short of capping the fees companies can charge borrowers on the short-term loans.
COLUMBIA - The state House on Wednesday approved new regulations on the payday lending industry, but stopped short of capping the fees companies can charge borrowers on the short-term loans.
Rep. Keith Kelly, R-Woodruff, said the bill, which the House approved by a 93-16 vote, strikes a good balance between giving the industry free rein and an outright ban.
"I think it does, especially in the economic climate we're in right now," Kelly said. "There are people who may well have to scramble to buy food and medicine."
The House will give the bill third reading today and send it to the Senate. Last year, the Senate approved its own version of a bill to regulate the industry.
Payday lenders charge up to $15 per $100 borrowed, and loans must be repaid within two weeks. Spartanburg-based Advance America is the industry leader.
Industry critics say the annualized interest rate, nearly 400 percent, is too high a price to pay. They also say too many people get trapped into borrowing more to pay off previous loans.
Supporters say the industry provides emergency cash for people who would have trouble getting it elsewhere. They point out that bounced check fees, if annualized, would be nearly 1,000 percent.
The bill approved Wednesday limits borrowers to one loan at a time, but raises the maximum loan to $600 from $300. It also requires creation of a database that lenders must check before making a loan.
Borrowers also can enter an extended payment plan, with no additional fees charged, if they cannot repay the loan in the allotted time.
Rep. Harold Mitchell, D-Spartanburg, said creating a database and limiting customers to one loan at a time would help prevent people from becoming locked in a cycle of debt. But, he said, South Carolina's leaders had forced residents to turn to payday lenders to make ends meet.
"We pride ourselves on attracting companies because we're a low-wage state. Now look where we are," Mitchell said. "We created the monster that made it so people are unable to pay their bills, and now we want to attack the best option out there for people who don't qualify for bank loans."
Some lawmakers said the bill was just "feel-good" legislation that would protect the industry and do little for consumers. Rep. Joe Neal, D-Hopkins, said voting for the bill would be "selling out" South Carolinians.
Advance America spokesman Jamie Fulmer was unavailable for comment. But Jabo Covert, the vice president of governmental affairs for Cleveland, Tenn.-based Check Into Cash - which operates 80 stores in South Carolina - said the bill "creates one of the strictest regulatory environments in the country."
"It's not a perfect bill for the industry, but with all the competing interests it's a fair compromise," he said.

The invention relates to a reading lamp system that provides individual reading lamps for passengers especially in an aircraft cabin. However, the present reading lamp system is also suitable for passenger railroad car compartments, buses, and the like.
German Patent Publication DE 3,824,371 A1 (Aqua Signal AG), published on Sep. 14, 1989, discloses an illuminating device particularly for ships and aircraft. Lighting fixtures of the known system are connected through fiber optical conductors, through an optical system, and through a filter to a high power point light source which in turn is connected through electrical conductors to a power source such as the onboard electrical power supply. The filter eliminates from the spectrum emitted by the high power light source those wave lengths that do not contribute to the visible light spectrum, whereby only visible light enters into the fiber optical cable. The known system aims at reducing maintenance work on external signal lights in aircraft and ships. All lamps supplied by the same light source are switched on or off in unison by controlling the central light source.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,536,908 (Oster), issued on Oct. 27, 1907, discloses a fiber optic lighting system with bundles of fiber optical conductors which may have different lengths to feed light to individual reflectors forming light outputs. Each light output has a convex reflector held in a concave reflector. A transparent rotatable disc having sectors of different colors is positioned so that the sectors can be rotated into a light path from the light source to the inlets of the optical fiber conductor bundles. The disc is rotatable by a motor. The Oster system is especially suitable as an ornamental lighting system for trees or for display presentations. Again, all light ouputs are only switchable in unison.
The prior art discussed above does not address the problem of providing an efficient illumination for individual passenger seats to increase the passenger comfort, for example, in an aircraft passenger cabin. Conventionally, each passenger seat is illuminated by a lighting fixture including an incandescent bulb and a respective lens system installed overhead, whereby the passenger can operate a switch to activate or deactivate the individual seat or reading lamp. Some conventional incandescent bulb reading lamps with a reflector are position adjustable so that the passenger can direct the light beam to a desired area.
Conventional passenger reading lamps with incandescent bulbs have several disadvantages. Generally the incandescent bulbs require a voltage different from that of the onboard power supply network so that at least one transformer or many smaller transformers are required, generally one for each lamp unit. The total number of transformers adds to the weight of the lighting system. Further, the efficiency of incandescent light bulbs is low and unsatisfactory even if halogen lamps are used. Moreover, the exchange of defective incandescent bulbs involves a substantial maintenance effort and expense. Additionally, lighting fixtures with incandescent bulbs require a substantial space above the passenger seat. Thus, there is room for improvement.
In view of the above it is the aim of the invention to achieve the following objects singly or in combination:
to provide a reading light system particularly for increasing the passenger comfort whereby the system simultaneously avoids the above outlined disadvantages of the prior art incandescent bulb lighting systems;
to supply reading lights for many passenger seats with light from a common, central light source while still permitting each passenger to switch her or his reading light on or off and to select the most convenient illumination level;
to install the common, central light source for easy access so that maintenance work is facilitated.
The lighting system according to the invention is characterized in that a central light source cooperates with a decoupling optical device for feeding light from the central source, which is preferably a cool light source, through a multitude of light guides such as fiber optical light conductors, to respective reading lamps, wherein each lamp has a housing with an inlet for the respective light guide or fiber optical conductor, wherein a switchable liquid crystal film is arranged in the housing for switching the light on or off by switching the liquid crystal film either opaque or transparent so that light can exit through an exit optical device mounting in a housing exit when the film is transparent and so that light is blocked when the liquid crystal film is opaque.
It is a particular advantage of the invention that its efficiency and reliability is substantially increased compared to systems with incandescent lamps. Other important advantages are seen in the reduction of the space requirement and in the weight reduction. Moreover, involved cooling requirements are avoided by the elimination of incandescent individual reading light bulbs and also by the use of a central cool light source.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the present reading light system with a liquid crystal film used as a switch for individual light outputs;
FIG. 2 shows a modified position of the liquid crystal film switch in the light output; and
FIG. 3 shows the combination of the liquid crystal film switch with a prism in the individual light output.
FIG. 1 shows a reading lamp system of the invention with, for example, three light outputs referred to as reading lamps 1, 2, and 3. However, the number of reading lamps is not critical and will depend on the light output capacity of a central light source 4 preferably comprising a cool light lamp 5 in a housing forming or including a reflector 6 and an output or decoupling optical device 7 such as a lens or lenses. Each reading lamp 1, 2, 3 is connected to the light source through its own optical fiber light conductor or cable 8, 9, and 10. These flexible optical fiber light conductors are covered with individual protection jackets and transmit the light from the light source 5 to the individual reading lamps. Various types of cool light lamps can be used for the light source 5. One example is on the market as Model D1 manufactured by Osram. Various types of gas discharge lamps, such as fluorescent lamps, are useable for the present purpose.
Each reading lamp 1, 2, 3 comprises a housing 11, 11A, 11B respectively, whereby the housing has preferably an approximately hemispherical configuration provided with a cable inlet 12, 12A, 12B for the respective light conductor cable 8, 9, and 10. Inlet 12 is positioned coaxially to a central rotational axis of the housing 11. Inlets 12A and 12B are positioned at a right angle relative to the central housing axis. An optical device 13, 13A, 13B is arranged in the respective housing for defining a light cone or beam that exits from the respective lamp housing as indicated by the arrows V. The optical device 13, 13A, 13B such as a lens, prism or the like is so constructed that it provides a light cone or beam for the respective passenger seat.
Referring further to FIG. 1, the cable inlet 12 of the lamp 1 is arranged approximately coaxially to a vertical central axis of the housing 11, whereby this axis is positioned vertically in the plane of the drawing sheet. The light from the light conductor 8 enters the housing 11 in a vertical direction downwardly. A liquid crystal film 14 is mounted in the housing 11 in the light path between the exit end of the conductor 8 and the optical device 13 for switching the light on and off, or rather for blocking or opening the light path by switching the liquid crystal panel 14 to be either opaque or transparent. Furthermore, the light intensity can be adjusted by using liquid crystal panels having a light passage characteristic that varies with the applied voltage. For this purpose a control unit 15 with a switch 16 to be operated by a passenger through a handle 17 is connected through conductors 18 and 19 to an onboard power supply. This feature enables the passenger to individually control his reading light, whereby a dimmer 25 shown for the lamp 3 with an adjustable resistor 26 may be used.
The reading lamp 2 has a light cable inlet 12A that extends at an angle of approximately 90� relative to the light exit direction V. The incoming light is deflected by a mirror 20 to pass through a liquid crystal film or panel 21 and through the optical device 13A. The liquid crystal film or panel 21 is again controlled through a switch 22 in its ability to pass or block light. The construction of the lamp 2 is especially advantageous because it can be installed where limited space is available.
The lamp 3 has substantially the same construction as the lamp 2, however the mirror 20 has been replaced by a prism 23 while the light cable inlet 12B is also arranged at a right angle to the light exit direction V. The light passage or blocking capacity of the liquid crystal panel 24 is controlled by a dimmer 25 with an adjustable resistor 26 manually controllable by the passenger for adjusting or dimming the light output of the lamp 3 or to switch it off altogether.
Contrary to the left-hand part of FIG. 1, in the central and right-hand part of FIG. 1 the light conductor cable inlets 12A and 12B of the lamps 2 and 3 extend at an angle other than 180� relative to the central vertical axis of the respective lamp housing 11A, 11B, for example at about 90�.
FIG. 2 shows a reading lamp with a housing 27 and an optical exit lens 28 including a mirror 29 similar to the mirror 20 of the lamp 2, however, the mirror 29 is combined with the liquid crystal panel or film 30 which is directly connected to the mirror 29.
FIG. 3 illustrates the replacement of the mirror 29 by a prism 33 in a housing 31, whereby the liquid crystal film 34 is attached to one side of the prism 33 facing the exit lens 32. However, the liquid crystal film 34 could alternatively be positioned on the light entrance side of the prism 33 as shown by a dashed line of the prism.
As mentioned above, the number of lamps 1, 2, 3 that can be supplied by a single central light source will depend on the light output capacity of the central light source. If necessary, a plurality of light sources may be arranged in different cabin sections of the aircraft, for example. In any event, these central light sources will be positionable in easily accessible locations to thereby facilitate maintenance work. Moreover, by the preferred use of a cool light lamp 5 very little waste energy is radiated, whereby the cooling requirements are substantially reduced or eliminated. Light guides other than fiber optical light conductors can be used for the present purposes, such as tubular light conductors. However, flexible fiber optical conductors such as glass fibers are preferred.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be appreciated that it is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the appended claims.

Thanks for helping!
Tucked into a small mvalley in Morgan Hill, this place is a wonder of traditional sushi and Japanese California fusion
When you first walk up you think this can't be the place, it's too small for a restaurant. But what a surprise when you open the doors and go in. It is cute and compact. I waited a little bit for my order to be ready, but yes it was well worth the wait. The fish was fresh and plenty...
My husband had the sushi and he seemed satisfied with it. However, my son and I had the combination dinner (chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, and bbq beef). The teriyaki sauce seemed to have a burnt flavor and was too thick like they let it cook too long. I personally would not go back, but my husband might.
I met up with some friends for dinner. We all ordered sushi rolls, seaweed salad and the monkey brains. The food was very good, the service was a okay. This place is small so expect to wait or get there early!
First time eating at this place and it was great. Teriyaki chicken and tempura shrimp were superb! Golden California rolls, fried potstickers - all top notch. Would have given it a higher rating but service wasn't that great. Not very busy either which begs the question - could you not fill my water and not spill on my glasses case?
We got recommended this sushi place when in Morgan Hill and it we loved it. It's a small place so look out for it and look for it to be backed as well. We had the Wonder Women roll, Morgan Hill roll and Specialized roll. All were good but the best for us was the Wonder Women. Also they serve...
This is a good place to come for phone and things. I typically eat the phone and have the egg rolls as apetizers. A good friend of mine turns us on to this place 3 years ago and it is one of our monthly visit restaraunts.
Glad we arrived fairly early because it got very busy as the evening progressed, which unfortunately caused some issues with the wait staff ... they seemed a tad overwhelmed. But the sushi was good, and wasn't too, too expensive. I'm guessing we'll be back.
Been here several times. Food, drinks and service are always good. Can get a bit busy and at these times the service suffers but the quality of food is always first class. Well worth the bucks you will spend and your bill is always of a reasonable price. You want good sushi the this is the place to go.... Enjoy...
I picked up take-out sushi for five. Really high-quality fish, perfectly prepared and presented. I would eat here again...many times.
Not cheap, but what good sushi is?

U.S. Returns Silver Griffin to Iran
Monday, September 30, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. government officials have handed over a silver griffin-shaped artifact to Mohammad-Ali Najafi, Iran's Cultural Heritage Chief. The Persian ceremonial drinking vessel, which dates to the 7th century B.C., was confiscated by customs officials in 2003 from an art dealer, but strained relations between the two countries prevented its return. "We are taking this as America's souvenir to the Iranian people," Najafi said.

Our Goal
The genome harbors additional codes. The genetic code was just the first one to be discovered. In order to decipher and decode the genome, we need to make a Biological Rosetta stone. Our research is dedicated to achieving this goal.
To decipher encoding rules, we use an iterative approach, which begins with a model-based design of DNA sequences, synthetic biology experiments, analysis using advanced bioinformatic, thermodynamic, and stochastic models. The results of the experiments and analysis feed-back on the design model, which generates an improved set of sequences until a robust model for the encoding rules is generated.
We construct thousands of synthetic DNA sequences designed using numerical simulations.
We use liquid automated robotics and state-of-the-art imaging apparatus to carry out our measurements.
We carry out our experiments in vivo in a host of model cell lines: bacteria, yeast, mammalian cell lines.

Most listings are in the $10's per square foot per year. The East Durham submarket is seeing a a boost in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate increased $16 per sqft per year. That's a Inf% rise in rent.
Compared to the rest of the The Triangle market, the East Durham region has lower rates, so you should have no trouble finding a great deal in this undervalued submarket.
In the last 90 days, 1 listings have been listed, which means new availabilities are probably leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 190 sqft. Most properties in this area are close to 3 stories. Most buildings in this region were built in 1948 and are Class C.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Utilities is the dominant industry in this market. Commute by walking is the most popular way to get to work amongst East Durham occupants. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

|Mystery . Crime . Drama
After a van containing two young children ends up in the river, Beck finds herself drawn to the young girl, Eden, and the investigation into a tape found in the vehicle turns up a mysterious death involving a controversial attachment therapy technique. Beck tries to do the right thing by saving Eden, only to find herself torn when it seems as though there is nothing she can do to help. The investigation into the rebirthing turns up a foster family who abuses the children in their care, but not all of the children agree that it was abuse. [ Recap available. ]
|Episode Title:
|2006-11-21 at 22:00
First episode lacks the energy and grit of the first season of "Law & Order," but Anthony Jannelli's camera work reveals the guilty, and director Jean De Segonzac and editor Doug Ibold keep the action taught even when it's apparent exactly where things are headed.Variety Full Review
If the crimes that drive "Law & Order" have the cops who solve them and the lawyers who prosecute them shaking their heads, the sex crimes dealt with by Special Victims will have the cops - and viewers - holding onto their stomachs.New York Post Full Review
When the hour is over, one is left with the distinct impression that the story could have been told just as well, if not better, on the original "Law & Order." And one is reminded yet again that network TV seems to be recycling old ideas just when it desperately needs new ones. [20 Sept 1999, p.E1]San Diego Union-Tribune Full Review
At times, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit flashes the same no-nonsense style of its sire: spare writing, quick pacing, ripped-from-the-headlines plot. But for much of the time, tonight's premiere is enervating, plodding and dull, which seems kind of odd when you're dealing with crimes of passion. [20 Sept 1999, p.E-3]Seattle Post-Intelligencer Full Review
There are lots of problems with the Special Victims premiere, chief among them being the focus on Olivia Benson, the female detective played by Mariska Hargitay. In a misguided rush to establish the character's background story and motivation as a cop, the episode's key moment is a revelation about an intimate detail of her life. It comes way before we have enough reason to care about her. [20 Sept 1999, p.7C]San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full Review
Meloni is smirky, Hargitay whiny, and transferred-from-"Homicide" detective John Munch (Richard Belzer) seems out of place. But Wolf has proved an expert at integrating cast changes on "L & O," and we have to believe he'll iron all this out. [20 Sept 1999, p.36]Boston Herald Full Review
The most disappointing new show of the TV season...SVU helps you appreciate the "order" part of Law & Order. Though it will have the same crazy-quilt plot twists, this one's straight police work and seems a little drawn-out, not nearly as richly satisfying as a puzzler as its progenitor.Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
It's subject matter that speaks to the train-wreck spectator in all of us, and designing a weekly show around it is a little uneasy-making. It's dangerously close to "reality" programming. That said, Special Victims Unit is an uneven hour that could improve with some aggressive fine tuning.Boston Globe Full Review
Neither Meloni nor Hargitay is a great actor, and both are guilty of overacting here...The limited range of each is suggested by their over-reliance on one or two basics moves. Meloni purses his lips and bugs his eyes out to tell us he's intense and/or getting mad. Hargitay runs her hand through her hair to tell us she's stressed. She does the hair thing so many times tonight you fear she'll have pulled all her hair out by midseason. [20 Sept 1999, p.1E]Baltimore Sun Full Review
The problem is that the new show makes the original look far better...There isn't enough special yet about this Special Victims Unit. [19 Sept 1999, p.F1]Orlando Sentinel Full Review
As a loyal "Homicide" viewer, for me Munch is the best part of SVU, especially in tonight's scene where he explains his departure from Baltimore. [20 Sept 1999, p.B-1]Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
The key here is that the emotional payoffs are dead-on. [20 Sept 1999, p.38]Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
The absence of the familiar law-order yin-yang gives the spin-off its own identity, but in the beginning it feels like a loss...What may turn out to sink this sharply written, well-acted show, however, is the premise itself. The prospect of tuning in every week to confront a creepy new sex crime, with most of the victims women and children, simply isn't very appealing. [20 Sept 1999, p.E6]St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
Despite a bizarre courtroom sequence that strains credibility early in the episode, this is a very good start for Special Victims Unit, which promises to be a solid cop drama capable of occasionally stretching toward greatness.Los Angeles Times Full Review
And we learn more about the lives of Stabler and Benson than Wolf usually reveals in a whole season with his L&O detectives. [20 Sept 1999, p.1]Houston Chronicle Full Review
It takes a while to pull you in -- but once it does, you're likely to stay. [20 Sept 1999, p.1D]USA Today Full Review
Time will tell whether this spin-off of NBC's cops-to-courts standby can lure an audience to Mondays. There's plenty here to work with. The question is, in what direction will creator Dick Wolf move it all? [20 Sept 1999, p.E1]Kansas City Star Full Review
Victims Unit also imports Mr. Belzer's sardonic John Munch character from NBC's canceled Homicide: Life on the Street. His wise-guy asides are a little forced in this first hour, as are some of the recurring sexual references. But the featured case gets more compelling by the minute. [20 Sept 1999, p.1C]Dallas Morning News Full Review
It's only measured against that formidable benchmark that the spinoff falls short of those expectations. It's a solid drama, but it's no Law & Order - yet...On its own, it's a good show. But it's got the genes to be great. [20 Sept 1999, p.1E]Miami Herald Full Review
A crackling-sharp spinoff...The show swiftly finds its balance. Not every series lends itself to cloning, but the essential qualities of "Law and Order" seem made for it: headline-generated stories resolved in self-contained episodes; a no-nonsense tone; a cast large enough to vary the focus.The New York Times Full Review
Sparse, tough, nuts-and-bolts, hit-and-run TV. You'd need a magnifying glass to find a nuance. But it works, and grippingly.Washington Post Full Review
The cast is first rate, delivering sympathetic and believable performances. The writing is intelligent, providing intellectual grist to the grisly moments. And the direction is as crisp as it is clever. [20 Sept 1999, p.1E]Cleveland Plain Dealer Full Review

Hawks' Budenholzer leveled in collision near team bench
ATLANTA (AP) Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer was escorted to the locker room late in the first half of Tuesday night's game against New Orleans after being bowled over by Pelicans guard Langston Galloway.
The Hawks said Budenholzer was ''OK'' but would not return to the game.
It was a bad night for coaches. New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry was sick and unable to join his team on the bench.
Budenholzer already had his right hand in a brace and his arm in a sling after suffering a broken finger that required surgery on Monday. Following the second-quarter collision as Galloway was chasing a loose ball, Budenholzer was helped to his feet. He sat on the bench for a few minutes, grimacing in obvious pain, before being escorted to the locker room.
It was not immediately known if Budenholzer aggravated his hand injury in the collision.
New Orleans assistant coach Darren Erman filled in for Gentry, who had ''stomach discomfort,'' according to the team.

Hey, check it out, I'm one of three head admins on an up and coming community site.
Feel free to join, we're in desperate need of people who will actually try to make use of our forums instead of just sticking to their user page.
I also host a minecraft server and a Natural Selection "Noob Trainer" server(AMX with lots of plugins). They are down most of the time, as I need to upgrade the server computer's hardware before the servers will be up to my standards or be able to sustain stable performance. If you have any questions, comments, or requests to make about the servers, feel free to contact me or leave a comment. To be honest, I check up with this sight more than my own email, so it's probably the best response time here.

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois
May 3, 2004.
GEORGE WEILAND, et al., Plaintiffs,
RAUSCH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INCORPORATED, Defendant
This court entered judgment against defendant on February 20, 2004.
Defendant moved to vacate, contending that it had not received various
notices, despite orders and correspondence it is hard to believe
defendant did not receive. Nevertheless, we vacated the judgment and
permitted defendant to file a belated response to plaintiffs' motion for
summary judgment.
That response is a legal argument contending that defendant is not or
should not be liable for audit and legal fees. It does not dispute any of
the undisputed facts previously filed by plaintiff and they are,
accordingly, deemed admitted. And it is clear that the Trust Agreement,
in the circumstances presented, require the defendant to pay the audit
fees, and that 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g)(2) requires defendant to pay
plaintiffs' legal fees, now increased to $7,986.60. We enter judgment in
the amount of $12,934.84, for $18.17 in liquidated damages, $9.27 in
interest, $4,690 for audit costs, $7,986.60 for plaintiffs' legal fees,
and $230.80 in costs. And we adhere to the views previously expressed in
the Memorandum Opinion and Order dated February 20, 2004.

Waste of money on wack innovations. Your shit would get caught on everything! This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

June 22, 2013 BY John Kim / 15
adidas aimed to change the game with adidas Boost, unveiling the new material to a huge media group back in February. Part of the adidas Boost unveiling included a preview of upcoming innovations by the three-stripes – one of which was the eye-catching adidas Springblade – a midsole built by external blades completely uncaged and free of any Foam-based material. The name is rather straightforward, as the protruding blades allow the athlete to spring off the ground surface for a incredible response and energy return. They sure look unlike anything we've ever seen, so check out the full shot below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more adidas innovations and developments.

Waste of money on wack innovations. Your shit would get caught on everything! This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
These look weird and overdone. Not that it won't work, but it has a feel of a gimmick that'll sell quick and die out.
they look like tentacles.
this looks even more gimmicky than the nike shox technology
I won't rule out the fact that it could work. But I'm still kinda skeptical. One thing's for sure, they do look mad insane, and not necessarily in a good way.
Haaaaa??????!!!!!!! Sign of Apocalypse.
I'll only wear them if they make me run faster, and I mean a lot faster
I'm gonna get these. I'm gonna fall down. I'm gonna own Adidas.
Looks like a whole lot of Tpu
Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting....

Publisher's Description
Preachers often quote this majestic promise in describing the consummation of history, the restoration of all things at the end of time. But few seek to uncover the passion of God in this promise: He wants us to know His glory, and He wants us to know it here on earth. What on Earth Is Glory? is one man's journey into this desire of God. From Mt. Sinai to the Cross, from a solitary confinement cell to the snowboarding slopes of Mammoth Lakes, from fathers and mothers to sons and daughters, from time to eternity, Paul Manwaring traces the revelation of Gods glory, uncovering the patterns of His divine design and purpose in all things, and inviting others to join him in making the audacious request Moses made millennia ago: "Show me Your glory."
Paul Manwaring is on the senior leadership team at Bethel Church in Redding, California and oversees Global Legacy, Bethels apostolic relational network. He lives to see the secular/sacred dividing line erased in lives and organizations.
Paul spent 19 years in senior prison management in England, is a registered general and psychiatric nurse, and holds a
management degree from Cambridge University. He is married and has two sons and one grandson.
