This invention relates generally to computed tomography (CT) imaging and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for positioning an x-ray beam in a multi-slice CT imaging system.
In at least one known computed tomography (CT) imaging system configuration, an x-ray source projects a fan-shaped beam which is collimated to lie within an X-Y plane of a Cartesian coordinate system and generally referred to as the "imaging plane". The x-ray beam passes through the object being imaged, such as a patient. The beam, after being attenuated by the object, impinges upon an array of radiation detectors. The intensity of the attenuated beam radiation received at the detector array is dependent upon the attenuation of the x-ray beam by the object. Each detector element of the array produces a separate electrical signal that is a measurement of the beam attenuation at the detector location. The attenuation measurements from all the detectors are acquired separately to produce a transmission profile.
In known third generation CT systems, the x-ray source and the detector array are rotated with a gantry within the imaging plane and around the object to be imaged so that the angle at which the x-ray beam intersects the object constantly changes. A group of x-ray attenuation measurements, i.e., projection data, from the detector array at one gantry angle is referred to as a "view". A "scan" of the object comprises a set of views made at different gantry angles, or view angles, during one revolution of the x-ray source and detector. In an axial scan, the projection data is processed to construct an image that corresponds to a two-dimensional slice taken through the object. One method for reconstructing an image from a set of projection data is referred to in the art as the filtered back projection technique. This process converts the attenuation measurements from a scan into integers called "CT numbers" or "Hounsfield units", which are used to control the brightness of a corresponding pixel on a cathode ray tube display.
In a multi-slice system, movement of an x-ray beam penumbra over detector elements having dissimilar response functions can cause signal changes resulting in image artifacts. Opening system collimation to keep detector elements in the x-ray beam umbra can prevent artifacts but increases patient dosage. Known CT imaging systems utilize a closed-loop z-axis tracking system to position the x-ray beam relative to a detector array. It would be desirable to provide a closed-loop system that operates during patient scanning to maintain the x-ray beam penumbra in the z-axis at a position relative to a detector array edge to minimize patient dosage, but far enough away from the edge to reduce artifacts.
There is therefore provided, in one embodiment, a method for positioning an x-ray beam on a multi-slice detector array of an imaging system in which the detector array has rows of detector elements and is configured to detect x-rays in slices along a z-axis. The method includes steps of comparing data signals representative of x-ray intensity received from different rows of detector elements and positioning the x-ray beam in accordance with a result of the comparison.
The above described embodiment and systems performing this method periodically adjust the x-ray beam position to maintain the beam penumbra at a minimal distance from the detector array edge, so that patient dosage is minimized and imaging artifacts are reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a computed tomograph (CT) imaging system 10 is shown as including a gantry 12 representative of a "third generation" CT scanner. Gantry 12 has an x-ray source 14 that projects a beam of x-rays 16 toward a detector array 18 on the opposite side of gantry 12. Detector array 18 is formed by detector elements 20 that together sense the projected x-rays that pass through an object 22, for example a medical patient. Each detector element 20 produces an electrical signal that represents the intensity of an impinging x-ray beam and hence the attenuation of the beam as it passes through patient 22. During a scan to acquire x-ray projection data, gantry 12 and the components mounted thereon rotate about a center of rotation or isocenter 24.
Rotation of gantry 12 and the operation of x-ray source 14 are governed by a control mechanism 26 of CT system 10. Control mechanism 26 includes an x-ray controller 28 that provides power and timing signals to x-ray source 14 and a gantry motor controller 30 that controls the rotational speed and position of gantry 12. A data acquisition system (DAS) 32 in control mechanism 26 samples analog data from detector elements 20 and converts the data to digital signals for subsequent processing. An image reconstructor 34 receives sampled and digitized x-ray data from DAS 32 and performs high-speed image reconstruction. The reconstructed image is applied as an input to a computer 36 that stores the image in a mass storage device 38.
Computer 36 also receives commands and scanning parameters from an operator via console 40 that has a keyboard. An associated cathode ray tube display 42 allows the operator to observe the reconstructed image and other data from computer 36. The operator supplied commands and parameters are used by computer 36 to provide control signals and information to DAS 32, x-ray controller 28 and gantry motor controller 30. In addition, computer 36 operates a table motor controller 44 that controls a motorized table 46 to position patient 22 in gantry 12. Particularly, table 46 moves portions of patient 22 through gantry opening 48.
In one embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 3, x-ray beam 16 emanates from a focal spot 50 of x-ray source 14 (FIG. 2). X-ray beam 16 is collimated by collimator 52, and collimated beam 16 is projected toward detector array 18. Detector array 18 is fabricated in a multi-slice configuration and includes detector element rows 54, 56, 58 and 60 for projection data collection. A plane 86, generally referred to as the "fan beam plane", contains the centerline of focal spot 50 and the centerline of beam 16. Fan beam plane 86 is illustrated in FIG. 3 as being aligned with a centerline D0 of detector array 18, although fan beam plane 86 will not always be so aligned. Detector element rows 62, 64, 66 and 68 serve as z-position detectors for determining a z-axis position of x-ray beam 16. In one embodiment, detector rows 62, 64, 66, and 68 are rows of detector array 18. Outer rows 62 and 68 are selected to be at least substantially within penumbra 70 of beam 16. Inner rows 64 and 66 are selected to be at least substantially within umbra 72 of beam 16. "At least substantially within" means either entirely within or at least sufficiently within so that outer row 62 and 68 signal intensities depend on an x-ray beam position and inner row 64 and 66 signal intensities provide references against which outer row signals are compared. In one embodiment, collimator 52 includes tapered cams 74 and 76. (Where it is stated herein that a cam "has a taper," it is not intended to exclude cams having a taper of zero unless otherwise stated.) X-ray controller 28 controls positioning of cams 74 and 76. Each cam can be independently positioned to alter position and width of x-ray umbra 72 relative to an edge (not shown) of detector array 18.
As shown in FIG. 4, one embodiment of a closed-loop method for positioning beam 16 comprises comparing signals representative of x-ray intensity received from different rows of detector elements and positioning an x-ray beam in accordance with results of the comparison. In one embodiment, signals representative of x-ray intensity from detector rows 62, 64, 66 and 68 are summed 78 to obtain row sums. The summation is over views taken in a 20-millisecond interval. For example, after the analog signals are converted to digital format, hardware circuitry (not shown) in DAS 32 performs offset correction and determines row sums from signals received from outer row 62 and from inner row 64. A corrected ratio R is determined 80 by determining a ratio of a sum of signals received from outer row 62 to a sum of signals received from inner row 64 and multiplying the ratio by a ratio correction factor. The ratio correction factor, determined from imaging system 10 calibration, accounts for different relative DAS gains between outer row 62 and inner row 64.
Beam position Z(R) then is determined 82, in millimeters relative to a centerline. Beam position Z is obtained by applying a predetermined beam position transfer function to the corrected ratio to calculate the x-ray beam position. The beam position transfer function Z(R) is represented, for example, by a fourth-degree polynomial having predetermined coefficients:
Beam position transfer function Z(R) and its limits are specified at imaging system 10 calibration.
A new collimator position is then determined 84. A focal spot position f is determined 84 from beam position Z, current collimator position C and other system 10 geometric parameters in accordance with:
where Tz represents a current taper of cam 74, fmzz represents a focal spot magnification factor at rows 62 and 64 and is a function of focal spot size, and lfs represents focal spot 50 length. A new position for collimator 52 then is determined 84 for a detector element 20 positioned toward isocenter 24. Collimator 52 is repositioned where an edge (not shown) of collimator 52 would meet a line between focal spot position f and a target beam position Zt which has been specified at imaging system 10 calibration. New collimator position Cn thus is determined in accordance with:
where cmi represents a current collimator magnification factor at detector element 20 positioned toward isocenter 24 and is a function of focal spot size, and lfs represents focal spot 50 length.
In one embodiment, steps 78, 80, 82, and 84 are performed independently for each side of collimator 52 at intervals to continuously obtain new positions for each side of collimator 52. These intervals are, in one embodiment, 20 milliseconds, to sample the x-ray beam 16 position 25 times during a 0.5 second scan to minimize control loop lag error. However, in other embodiments, the interval is between 5 milliseconds and 50 milliseconds. In still other embodiments, the interval is between a minimum value sufficient to avoid effects of quantum noise and high frequency variation (such as due to x-ray tube anode movement at a run frequency between 50 Hz and 160 Hz) and a maximum contrained by a slew rate of the sag curve. Sampling the changing sag curve frequently avoids excessive positioning error. (Sag is a periodic movement of x-ray beam 16 resulting from gravity and from centrifugal forces acting on mechanical structure during a rotation of gantry 12.)
During patient scanning, z-position detectors 62, 64, 66 or 68 may become blocked by patient clothing, blankets, or other object. After blockage of a z-position detector 62, 64, 66, or 68 has been detected, or when x-ray source 14 first turns on, the loop sample interval is adjusted downward. In one embodiment, the loop sample interval is adjusted downward to 5 milliseconds. After 4 milliseconds of stabilization, the position of the beam is measured and collimator positioning is started to further minimize initial position errors.
During a blockage, loop operation is suspended. To determine if any z-position detectors are blocked, a signal from a last data detector element 90 adjacent a z-position detector 62, 64, 66 or 68 is compared to an expected signal Sx. Z-position detector blockage is assumed, in one embodiment, if a last data detector element 20 signal is less than 0.9 times expected signal Sx. In other embodiments, detector blockage is assumed when a last data detector element 20 signal is less than a value between 0.95 and 0.5 times expected signal Sx. (It is desirable to make this value as large in magnitude as possible to identify patient blockage as quickly as possible, thereby avoiding mispositioning of x-ray beam 16 due to corrupted Z-measurement data. A maximum of 0.95 is used in one embodiment because it is known that x-ray scatter blockage from large patients 22, for example, can reduce a signal to 0.95 times the expected value.) During a blockage, collimator positioning is suspended. However, position measurement continues at an interval that is decreased from 20 to 5 milliseconds. The decreased measurement interval allows imaging system 10 to more quickly detect an end of the blockage and to resume closed-loop positioning.
Expected signal Sx is written as:
where gmA is a generator current mA signal proportional to an x-ray source 14 energizing current, csf is a scale factor determined at system 10 calibration, t is a DAS sample time period, and g is a gain factor. Gain factor g allows expected signal Sx to be adjusted according to a gain value used for scanning. In one embodiment, this gain value is selectable from a plurality of gain values available in system 10.
In one embodiment, closed loop tracking is suspended when signal corruption is detected. Signal corruption is detected, for example, by determining an actual focal spot length from a beam position and a collimator position, and comparing the actual focal spot length to a nominal focal spot length. When a difference of, for example, more than 0.1 millimeter is detected between the actual focal spot length and the nominal spot length, corruption is assumed to exist and collimator positioning is suspended. (In other embodiments, a difference threshold for assuming corruption is as small as 0.05 millimeter or as large as about 0.6 millimeter. In still other embodiments, a value is selected between a lower limit set by higher probabilities of false activation due to noise, x-ray scatter and/or momentary beam position disturbances and an upper limit that still provides some of the advantages of tracking.) However, beam position measurement continues at a decreased interval, as when a blockage is detected. Such corruption may occur, for example, for a short time just prior to or just following detection of a patient blockage. If the corruption persists, for example, over 90� of rotation of gantry 12 without detecting a patient blockage, a malfunction of the tracking system requiring servicing has likely occurred. In such an event, a scan is immediately aborted to avoid patient dose and collection of non-diagnostic quality images. In other embodiments, a limit is set from as little as 45� to as much as 360� of a rotation of gantry 12. In other embodiments, a limit is set between a value at which a false alarm rate due to scatter and/or an occasional exceptionally long partial patient 22 blockage is acceptable and an upper limit representing a design choice as to how long compromised operation (high dose and/or non-diagnostic quality images) can be tolerated before terminating a scan.
After system 10 has been switched off, position of focal spot 50 changes as source 14 cools over time. In one embodiment, before system 10 is switched on again, an initial focal spot position is approximated from information obtained when a focal spot position was last measured. An approximation of a linear function is used to model focal spot position change during cooling in one embodiment, and in another embodiment, the linear function is a 97 nanometer per second linear function. Because position change with cooling is an exponential function, the linear approximation is clamped at 0.15 millimeters. This clamping corresponds to approximately 20% of a cooling change in system 10 when fully cold, where a linear approximation to the exponential function suffices. A fully cold position requires 8 to 12 hours without patient scanning, and a tube warm up prior to patient scanning is normally requested if the tube has been off more than 1 hour. Therefore, a fully cold position, although possible, is not likely during normal patient scanning. During tube warm up a current measured position of the focal spot is established again for initial positioning of the collimator.
Several tracking loop parameters described herein, specifically, beam position transfer function Z(R) and its limits and target beam position Zt, are determined at system 10 calibration. FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment of a method for calibrating tracking loop parameters. In this embodiment, data from a stationary sweep scan is collected 100 while collimator 52 is stepped through a sequence of z-axis positions. Beam 16 is incremented 0.3 millimeters on detector array 18 exposure surface for each collimator 52 step position. The sweep scan data is offset-corrected and view averaged 102 to obtain a set of detector samples for each collimator 52 step position. A position of the focal spot is then determined 104. A collimator 52 z-axis position offset from detector array centerline D0 is determined 104, as the point where outer rows 62 and 68 receive signals of half-maximum intensity at full detector element 20 width. Position of focal spot 50 during sweep scan then is determined 104 from collimator 52 z-axis offset and nominal system 10 geometric parameters.
A beam 16 position is determined 106 for each detector element 20 at each collimator 52 step position. Beam 16 positions are determined from sweep scan focal spot 50 position, nominal length of focal spot 50, and nominal system 10 geometry.
Target beam position Zt then is determined 108 for detector element 20 positioned toward isocenter 24. When beam 16 is directed at target beam position Zt, beam 16 is sufficiently close to detector array 18 edge 92 to prevent imaging artifacts but is far enough away to minimize patient dosage. To determine target beam position Zt, ratios of detector samples for successive collimator 52 step positions are utilized to determine a detector differential error. A reconstruction error sensitivity function w(i) then is applied to weight the detector differential error. Reconstruction error sensitivity function w(i) is related to the percent positive contribution of a detector element 20 as a function of its radial distance from isocenter 24. Function w(i), in one embodiment, is computed from nominal system geometry. In another embodiment, w(i) is empirically determined. For example, the following equations describe an empirical determination of w(i):
where i represents detector element position from isocenter 24 and b(i) represents an artifact threshold, i.e. a percent differential error, for a double detector element 20 error. Reconstruction error sensitivity function w(i) then is determined in accordance with:
A collimator 52 step position SP is determined for which the weighted detector differential error exceeds a limit L empirically known to produce image artifacts, for example, 0.04 percent. Target beam position Zt then is set for the isocenter detector element at a distance just preceding SP by an amount exceeding applicable tracking loop positioning error.
Beam position transfer function Z(R) then is determined 110 for a ratio R of an average of outer row 62 to inner row 64 signals for a set of detector elements at an extreme end of x-ray fan beam 16. Beam 16 positions, determined 106 for each collimator 52 step position, are fitted to the ratio for each collimator 52 step position with a fourth-degree polynomial, for example, in accordance with:
over a suitable ratio range between a maximum and minimum for the sequence of steps.
A valid position measurement range for Z(R) is determined 112 as between end limits of the set of collimator 52 step positions for which an error between a beam 16 position determined by Z and an actual beam 16 position is less than a predetermined limit, for example, 0.2 millimeters. In other embodiments, the predetermined limit is between 0.1 millimeters to 0.6 millimeters. In still other embodiments, the predetermined limit is set at a value between a lower limit just above a value at which a range of beam 16 position that can be precisely measured is too limited, and just below a lower limit that is deemed to create tracking errors so large as to unacceptably compromise the benefits of tracking.
The above described tracking loop senses the signal ratio between detector rows and moves system collimation to maintain the x-ray beam very close to the imaging system detector array edge during patient scanning. As a result, patient x-ray dosage is reduced 20 to 40 percent without sacrificing image quality.
Other functions can be utilized in place of beam position transfer function Z(R) and also in place of reconstruction error sensitivity function w(i). In some embodiments, the methods described herein are implemented by software, firmware, or by a combination thereof controlling either computer 36, image reconstructor 34, or both. Also, additional z-detector rows can be provided. In such an embodiment, various combinations of z-detector row signals can be used as the inner and outer row signals, thereby becoming identified as such, or a different and/or more elaborate transfer function can be used to determine a beam position.
It should be understood that system 10 is described herein by way of example only, and the invention can be practiced in connection with other types of imaging systems. While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

The Suits take Lyla and Connor for a "debriefing"
Lyla's heart seized in her chest for the the briefest of moments before her natural defense mechanism, sarcasm, kicked in, complete with an exaggerated eye roll, "Aw Jesus, that didn't take long."
"Not to worry," Connor hissed behind her, "I'm surreptitiously recording everything. I got your back, Lyla."
She grinned, "You always do, my man," and then turned to properly face the head suit, a tall, thin man with silver hair which had already started fading into a dull, listless gray. His jaw was firm and eyes didn't twinkle as he looked at Lyla -- looked into her soul, by the piercing looks he gave her.
She gave him a nod, "What's up?"
"Miss Jennings, I --"
"That's MIZZ Jennings," she interrupted.
But Silverhair continued as if she'd never opened her mouth, "-- regret to inform you that your diatribe up there is likely to cost you your freedom. We can't have heretics running around, jamming up the air waves with their bile, now can we?"
"'We?'" Lyla smirked, "who's 'We?' There's nobody left in this damned wretched world. Who do you represent? Some long-forgotten statesman who's spent his last three years in a bunker beneath the Rockies?"
Silverhair didn't speak, but the featureless government clones behind him grit their teeth in annoyance. It was clear to Lyla they didn't much like the idea of somebody willing to engage them in a debate, willing to call out their wrongs. And that realization kind of tickled her. She stepped into his personal space and jabbed a finger into his chest with just enough venom to skew it off its perfect line at his collar.
"So I don't know who you think you were, but let me assure you, you have no power over a free thinking woman such as myself. I've been telling people for years that this day would come, but no one would listen to me, would they? Well now it looks like I'm pretty freakin' accurate with everything I've ever tried to warn you idiots about, am I right? So you should be listening to me, you ought to be writing down every God damn word that comes out of my mouth, because I ain't doin' it just to hear my lovely voice echo around the empty walls which we used to call CIVILIZATION. Ya get me, Chuckles?"
Connor knew Lyla was a passionate woman, but even he had never heard her so antagonistic. There was a part of his mind, a part nearing the surface actually, which envisioned these government bullies taking out their sidearms and shooting them both in the alley out back. He tittered nervously, "Ummm, there are various recording devices all trained on you folks, just hoping to get some good footage of police brutality, so let's keep this civil, eh?"
Silverhair chewed on his teeth as he ignored Connor and focused instead on Lyla. She expected him to give her a good backhand slap across the face (she kind of deserved it, after all), but his voice remained neutral when next he addressed her, "Would you like to see the man for whom I work? I think you two should meet."
"Oh hell no," Connor trembled, "don't go anywhere with him, Ly."

|It's finally here, isn't it? The moment we've both dreamed about! Oh, don't tell me you're gonna fall asleep before we finish. You have gotten old haven't you?
|~ Joker to Batman after stabbing him with a knife, describing their final fight as something epic.
|Ah, doesn't matter. I win. I made you lose control. Heh-heh-ha, and they'll kill you for it. Eh-heh-heh! See you... in hell! Ah-ha-ha-ha!
|~ Joker's last words before he committed suicide.
The Joker is a character who appeared in the second part of the animated feature film, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, where he served as the main antagonist in the first half.
He was voiced by Michael Emerson, who also portrayed Benjamin Linus on Lost and Zepp Hindle in Saw.
|~ The Joker reawakening.
Well into his 60s, the Joker spent ten years at Arkham Asylum in a near catatonic stupor. When news hit the wire that his arch-nemesis, Batman had come out of retirement, the Joker's conscious mind resurfaced and he decided that it was time for him to come out of retirement as well. After he manipulated his psychiatrist into declaring him 'cured'- the doctor proclaimed that he was merely a victim of Batman's own psychosis- the Joker murdered the guests at a talk show where his psychiatrist had intended to publicly reveal his 'recovery'. Afterward, Joker then broke into Selina Kyle's escort service and, after he brainwashed her with a kiss via his mind-control lipstick, proceeded to order her to bring one of her escorts, Crystal, and then brainwashed her offscreen (presumably via the same method as with Selina) to manipulate a senator into declaring nuclear war between the US and the USSR (presumably also having her wear the same mind-control lipstick to ensure that she got the senator to agree). Afterwards, Joker then dressed Selina up as Wonder Woman, bound, beat, and gagged her as well as presumably raped her before he took hostages at a local carnival.
After he tracked the Joker there, Batman engaged his foe in the hall of mirrors, where an extremely violent and brutal showdown-turned-fist fight erupted between the two. The Joker dropped a mirror on Batman and made his escape into the tunnel of love ride. Batman reappeared and engaged the Joker a second time in a far more violent fight, in which the Joker hysterically stabbed him in the stomach several times. Mid-stab, Batman instinctively broke the Joker's neck just enough to paralyze him.
As a group of innocents, after they thought that Batman murdered the Joker, screamed and fled, Batman confronted his opponent. Although the Joker eagerly egged Batman into finishing him off, Batman was unable to, much to his disappointment. Nevertheless, the Joker sneered at him, and arrogantly claimed that he won the fight - he made Batman lose control and 'kill' him, and the people of Gotham would condemn and hunt him because of it. The Joker then finally said: See you in Hell!, before, in a last act of revenge against his enemy, he was able to twist his neck just far enough to kill himself, commit suicide, and framed his enemy for his own murder.
After hearing wind of Batman's return, Joker was shocked out of his catatonic state and quickly reverted back to his sociopathic, manipulative, villainous, and sadistic personality. His genius personality resurfaced as well, being able to pretend he felt remorse for his actions and that he was a victim of Batman's own psychotic obsession, to this Joker replies "I thought I was Batman's psychotic obsession." Another thing that returned was a love for theatrics, murdering his psychiatrist and the entire audience in front of Gotham city during a televised talk show. It's interesting however how Joker killed his psychiatrist only after he spoke ill of Batman, it's probably because he felt only he could talk that way about his archenemy.
Joker went to incredible lengths to cause Batman pain and ruin his reputation this was including the lives of others and his own. To cause him pain he kidnapped, beat and presumably raped Selina Kyle. Near his final moments he displayed his usual lack of remorse, showing no mercy to any of his victims claiming "I never kept count" (of the people he killed) instead was arrogant and mocking, claiming he had won, as two civilians thought they saw Batman snap his neck when he just paralysed him. He later committed suicide as to destroy Batman's reputation, finally defeating his archenemy in death, although he was slightly disappointed that Batman didn't murder him outright when telling him to finish him.
Villainous Acts
- It's revealed that in the past he murdered nearly 600 people.
- On live TV, he cuts the throat of his psychiatrist and Joker gasses the entire audience and the talk show host, murdering them all.
- Kidnapped, bound, beat, gagged and was implied to have raped Selina Kyle.
- During the confrontation with Batman at the carnival, he kills countless civilians in the Tunnel of Love, just for fun. Was also implied to have sold boy scouts tainted cotton candy.
- As a final act of revenge against Batman, Joker breaks his own neck, causing civilians to believe that Batman killed him, destroying his reputation.
- In a behind the scenes feature for the film, Michael Emerson stated that he modeled the Joker's voice on comedian, Paul Lynde.
- Ironically, the infamous series finale for the TV series, Lost (which was one of Michael Emerson's prior roles), was earlier referenced by The Joker in Batman: Arkham City where Joker asked why it all ended in a church.

We Just spent 1 night while traveling south from Ellsworth Maine. This park was easy to find, and easy to access. It is a beautiful, heavily wooded park. The trees adding privacy to every site and the feeling that we were truely out in the wilds. The interior roads were easy enough to negotiate, but it was very helpful that the staff led us to our site and helped us maneuver into it. - tweymouth

Since this state campground is local for me, I was very pleasantly surprised how quiet and nice it was. There is a modern restroom with free showers and two older restrooms that were still clean. The campground sits on top of a hill from the swim area which can make it a hike for little campers. The swim area was a little muck on the bottom but my kids didn't mind. The pine trees offer good shade from the sun. There is also another state park nearby which honors the Pearl Hill camping pass for swimming. Willard Brook has a nicer swimming area but the water is a little colder. We stopped off at it on our way home. They also have camping but they only have one site that our travel trailer would fit on. We drove through it and the road through the campground is a little tight. We definitely would go back to Pearl Hill again and enjoyed our stay and it's really convenient in its location. - B. P. Donelan

Because this Famcamp is located immediately next to an airfield, noise level is high during daylight hours. After sunset, the aircraft noise is normally not present.
Washer/dryers are available at $1/load. One dryer was out of service during our stay here. Power was stable during our stay. Pedestals are new and easy to hook up to.
Staff is friendly and helpful, furnishing information on how to travel to Boston and surrounding areas.

We were able to get a shaded spot at this park, which was a huge help in the heat. It is right next to the airstrip and the kids loved watching the planes take off and come in, but it did mess with our wifi signal.

This campground has large sites; however, restroom and laundry are treble and seldom functional. Employees act like watchdogs treat campers terrible. You can expect to go to the office every day to beg for icons to get through the gate to your camper if you're lucky enough to be going in when the office is open.Don't expect to be treated as a customer.

I was the only one there and there is a reason. Run down, restroom a 10 minute walk away. Owners nice enough but not the brightest bulb on the tree. If you like solitude and a depressing atmosphere this is the place. They do have a lot of seasonals so a summer visit might be brighter. - burt

This park is very convenient to the Nashua, NH and Lowell, MA areas. It is a small park on a beautiful lake, and primarily caters to long term residents. The park offers few amenities, but the rates are very reasonable. Comcast cable and phone service is available on every site. The park is closely monitored by the owner via video cameras, and it is not unusual for the operators of the part to come out and meet incoming campers without being prompted. No pool, showers, or Wi-Fi is provided, but if you need a decently priced campground for a long term stay in this area, this park stands out. - tricotec

Definitely a seasonal camper park. Pool was clean, bathrooms clean, but obvious most folks are here all the time and they like to police the "short-timers." Take our advice and get the tokens to get in and out of the campground as no one is usually around to assist with the gate. Camp store is barely stocked with anything. It is very close to Erving State park. No cell service. 20 minutes to the nearest store or anything. Glad we only stayed here one night. - mskalar

This campground is in the rebuilding stages as the current owners has owned it for a year and a half. Talking with some of the seasonals, the owners are making it a much nicer place than what it was. There were a lot of kids for my kids to play with. The playground was easily viewable from our site so that we could keep an eye on them. It was a slow weekend and we got one of their best sites (#S10). The pool was nice and there are strict rules on it's use. Tent sites looked nice under the pine trees. I would go here again. - B. P.

Very sandy site - tough to level rig. Our site was right across from playground for the kids - very noisy during the day. Bathrooms have a weird latch system to turn on the lights. Didn't use the shower. Park looked a little "tired". Interior roads were extremely uneven and full of ruts.
We stayed 3 nights so we could visit Boston, in August, in the heat! Phew!
Nothing really wrong with the park but I think I would look elsewhere next time.
Staff pleasant and helpful. - DCM/JMB

Talk about a rural location. Very hilly and sandy. Nice playground for the kids. Bathrooms are made of plywood and MFD, doors have funky latch system to turn on the lights. Showers are big, but there are no curtains so all your stuff gets wet. Showers are coin operated, but we did get good hot water for a decent amount of time for the $1. Beautiful fire pits made from the stones, not your boring tire ring pit. Full hookups. Seasonals there are pretty old and sorta run down. Owner was very nice and came to talk to us and make sure everything was alright. They had a pool but it was too cold for our liking to use it. We were just passing through and it did the job. - sbrigga315

We stayed at Field and Stream to visit friends nearby. It is well located with access to Nashua to the east and Peterborough to the west. Route 101 is a few miles to the north. The park was exceptionally quiet, clean and friendly. The owners were always ready to help in any way. In fact, because some of the sites are a bit tight, they offered the "valet" parking of our trailer. Nice touch. This is a good spot for adults as there is not much to offer for kids. We would definitely stay here again. - SchnoodleCamp

The campground was nice site 40 was perfect length for our coach. After check-in we never needed any contact with the front office. I'm sure they would have taken care of any problems if we had any. The site was level and on black top. The interior roads were gravel The night before we got there, there had been a big storm while we were there they were actively filling pot holes and leveling. Good things. - Tour n

Pine Acres is a beautiful campground. It's very clean and the sites are wooded and certainly big enough for our 36 ft with slides. They always ask to make sure they give you a large enough site. The roads are all paved and great for bike riding. They have a great store and snack bar. They also have many activities for everyone to enjoy. Don't hesitate to stay there Spring, Summer or Fall. - Meemee00

This park is not near any major roads and it takes awhile to get to it with many turns, low trees and narrow roads. At the entrance gate we were handed a packet of information and a map - no escort to our site but it was fairly easy to find. It was up on a mound so leveling was a bit difficult and it was about 4 ft higher than the road on either end - very close to trees but we were able to get our 3 slides out although into tree branches on one side. This is basically a family resort-style camp with lots of things for kids and families. We did enjoy the hot tub and the adults only swim time between 7-9 p.m. There are a LOT of unsupervised kids on bikes; on at least two occasions we had to stop on the way out while some kid got his remote controlled car off the road. It is advertised as having wifi and we asked when we booked how it was and were told it was good. We were NOT told you had to pay for it and it is the infamously horrible TENGO. We ended up using our AT&T hot spot. Most annoying is the location of the trash bins - on the map it shows dumpsters at the entrance/exit so we put our trash bag on the back of the truck cover on our way out - no dumpster in sight. So we put the trash inside for our brief trip into town. On our return we showed the gate keeper the map and asked where the dumpster was at the location on the map. He said "we moved it." He was very sarcastic when we said they should note that on the maps. The only dumpsters were near the dog park surrounded by mud and overflowing. Several people, not wanting to walk through mud, had just left the trash nearby. Had we not been driving this would have been a very long walk and we were closer than many campsites. Quiet time is between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. but we were woken up around 7 a.m. with the park maintenance tractors and golf carts around our site, which was near the clubhouse - perhaps a site not so near a central social area would have been quieter. - Catsinatrailer

This park is excellent for families. We had our grandchildren visit us and there was plenty to keep them all busy (ages 3 to 11). The sites are all placed to give you maximum privacy. They are mostly wooded and tight to get parked but still enough space around the camper to be comfortable. The pool is great for kids but kind of small for adults and they could use some umbrellas because there is full sun most of the day. The WiFi was really not much use. We had lots of trouble getting on and if you could get on you were limited to 1 free hour per day. You had to pay for any additional time. Over all we loved the campground and would come back in the future. - John Borajkiewicz

The Clark government has revealed more details on its strategy to tackle B.C.'s housing affordability crisis.
The province announced $500-million back in September to address the issue, and with an election just months away, has added another $16-million to the total.
READ MORE: BC Government makes $500 million affordable housing announcement
The cash is being earmarked for 68 projects laid out Tuesday, including 1,441 new rental units in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
Premier Christy Clark says the province's white-hot real estate market is helping fund the plans.
"Our foreign buyers' tax is helping us fund many of these initiatives as well. And our luxury surtax on homes over $2-million, or $3-million, that's helping us support first time home buyers getting into the market," she said.
"So trying to make sure that the wealthiest are paying to support the most vulnerable is part of the plan that we're embarking on."
The announcement was made at one of the province's affordable project sites in Surrey, and also comes on national Housing Day in Canada.
Province-wide 2,900 rental units are being built – a figure also previously announced in September.
At the time, Clark said the money would go to fund a mix of housing for low-to-moderate-income earners, seniors, students, adults with developmental disabilities, aboriginals and single parents.
Buzz about where money will go
Former Victoria Mayor, now head of a non-profit housing organization, Dean Fortin, says they have the green-light for two new buildings because of the provincial funding.
"Those are 150 new units – units that would not have proceeded without this new money," he said.
Speaking at the non-profit housing conference in Vancouver, Fortin said there is a lot of buzz in the air from a lot of service providers.
He said it's exciting to know the details of where the money is going.
Projects planned for Vancouver:
The head of the BC Non-Profit Housing Association, Kishone Roy, says the nearly 3,000 new social housing units will be a good start.
But Roy says this kind of commitment is necessary every year to keep up with the need.
"Politicians of every political stripe at every level of government have largely abandoned housing as a policy issue for a generation, so it's great that now we're starting see some attention on it, but I want to see that attention turned into long-term sustained action," he said.
Roy says that because of the time it takes to get buildings constructed, the housing situation for those most in need will get worse before it gets better.
Not a solution for everyone: housing critic
NDP Housing Critic David Eby says the new housing is good news for people living in tent cities, and a triumph for housing advocates who pushed for affordable housing.
But he says it also leaves a lot of people with no relief.
"For people who are looking for market rental housing, or trying to get into the housing market, this announcement really has nothing to do with addressing their concerns," he said.
Eby says it's also important to look at where the money is coming from.
"It's coming from the property transfer tax, that is the product of a totally out of control housing market in Metro Vancouver that the government stood by and watched take place for a number of years," Eby said.
Eby maintains that if the government would allow universities to borrow to build student housing, it would free up a lot of rentals.
READ MORE: Student housing crunch a crisis: Alliance of B.C. students
He says it's an easy move that would make a big difference.
"Rents pay for the borrowing, and it frees up a huge amount of market rental housing in the community as well as takes the burden off transit and road," he said.
"All those students are out in the community competing for scarce rental housing spaces and crowding buses and Skytrains trying to get to school everyday, or driving and filling up roads instead of just living on campus where they'd rather be."

Hadley: Sleep With MeMature
Okay, so picture this. I'm in a basement. My hands are tied up and handcuffed to a chair. My feet also happen to be tied up. I kind of happen to be in my boxers and I'm crying because I want Maxxie. Must look pretty pathetic, right? John evidently thought so. I wasn't so fucking pathetic when I bit him though, was I? The bastard just shrugged it off and got a band-aid.
Now we were just playing the waiting game. John was certain that Maxxie wouldn't call the cops. And that even if he did, he was so drunk they'd just think it was a prank call. No, he was convinced Maxxie would come here. I tried convincing him otherwise but he just stuck a piece of tape over my mouth. And sure enough, just a little while later, Maxxie appeared.
"Nice of you to join us" John said from the bed.
"Care to explain why you have my boyfriend tied up?"
"...What for?"
John smiled. That smile that makes you worry about your own safety. "That's too easy"
"Thought it might be. You remember what Alex did to Cay, don't you?"
"Vaguely" Vaguely? How do you vaguely remember that?
"I'm sure he'd be happy to refresh your memory" Maxxie said, keeping his hands in his pockets. Did he have something?
John just kept on smiling and hummed a little.
"So when do I get to find out what Hadley's your leverage for?"
"All in good time" he said, getting up and ambling over to me.
Maxxie watched him warily and John smiled again, kissing my cheek. Maxxie gritted his teeth and John laughed a little, running a finger up my chest. I tried not to squirm. Just like Maxxie was trying not to let it provoke him.
"See, me and sweetness have been having a lovely time together, haven't we sweetness?" he tilted my head so I was nodding, "What could you possibly have to offer me in place of that?"
"Doesn't look like it's been much of a lovely time to me. And... I don't know. Depends what you want in place of that"
He grinned and kissed my cheek again. Maxxie shifted uncomfortably.
"What made you switch to sweetness, then?"
"Well, he doesn't seem the type to abandon me for an ex in the blink of an eye" Maxxie said irritably.
"Mmm, Cayden's not exactly reliable"
Maxxie didn't say anything. John just hummed and played with the waistband of my boxers. I hid the shiver of disgust that licked up my spine and a muscle in Maxxie's jaw jumped.
John giggled. "You know what I want in return for Hadley?"
"Enlighten me."
"Sleep with me"
Maxxie froze. John just gave him this expectant look.
"I-I-" he stopped to think about it, biting his lip.
"I didn't split you and Cayden up because I wanted him..."
He tried to hide a look of disgust. He just about got away with it. "You let Hadley go first"
John shook his head. He's not that stupid, Maxxie. Just go, I can get out of this on my own.
"Let him go first, or I swear to god, you'll never be able to get out of this basement again"
John shook his head again. "Hadley has to watch"
Maxxie couldn't hide the look of disgust that time. "Why?"
"Because he does. I know he's thought about it"
"Oh, yeah, I'm sure he's thought about his boyfriend being raped plenty of times"
John giggled. "Who said I was gonna rape you?"
"Same difference when it comes down to you"
John looked offended. "I could always have my way with Hadley instead..."
Maxxie shook his head. "I'll do it if you let Hadley go first, John"
"He has to watch, Maxxie. You know you want him to"
Maxxie tried not to look uncomfortable as he walked over to John and kissed him. "Please, John" he murmured.
John slipped his arms round his waist. "Just think about it. You know you want him to see what you can do, how good you can make him feel"
"When he's ready for it. I don't want it forced on him" Maxxie said, forcing himself to stay there. At least, I hope he was forcing himself to.
John giggled again. "Well aren't you just adorable"
"So I've been told. C'mon, John. Let him go"
"You know my conditions, Maxxie"
"I'd be a whole lot more willing if we went along with mine"
John giggled a little. "You think I can't tell you're lying?"
"I need to brush up on my acting skills, clearly..." Maxxie glanced at me apologetically. What are you doing? Just go.
John started pulling him towards the bed but he struggled slightly.
"Don't struggle" John said softly.
"D'you do this often, John?" Maxxie asked bitterly, dragging his heels.
John kissed his neck. "Just relax"
Maxxie went completely limp. Had he fainted or something?
"Now that's just being stupid" John said.
"I used to do it as a kid. Not working for you?"
"Not really when you're the one s'posed to fuck me"
Maxxie laughed. "And how's that supposed to work when I'm not even willing?"
"Don't you love Hadley?"
"Yeah, that's why I don't want to fuck you, stupid"
"You'd do it if you loved him"
"Good one. I love him, but I don't think it's gonna help me get a boner when I'm clearly not comfortable with this, do you?"
He whispered something in Maxxie's ear that made his jaw clench. John kissed him. And when Maxxie didn't kiss back, he just kissed harder. Maxxie kind of froze up.
"Is it really so hard? You just have to do this one little thing and Hadley's all yours"
"Now there's a stupid question if ever I heard one" he scowled slightly, "I kind of regret sobering up, now."
John clenched his jaw. Maxxie glanced back at me uncertainly.
"Sorry" he whispered before kissing John.
John kissed back and Maxxie reluctantly kissed him harder as John pulled him over to the bed. He tugged at Maxxie's shirt. Maxxie let him pull it off and I let out the sniffle I'd been holding back. Maxxie glanced back at me sadly as John stripped Maxxie and himself. Maxxie tried to hide a grimace as he went down on John. John laughed a little but Maxxie clamped a hand over his mouth and kept on going. I sniffled again and Maxxie came up for a moment.
I love you, Hads" he muttered with that sad face which is normally adorable. "M'sorry"
John moaned a little and kissed Maxxie, who went back down on him. After a while, John pulled Maxxie up for another kiss then flipped him over and fucked him. Right there in front of me. Maxxie just shut his eyes and waited for it to be over while I felt tears tugging at my eyes again.
John grinned once he was done. "Key for the handcuffs is over there somewhere" he pointed.
Maxxie scrambled up to put his boxers on before finding the key and untying me. I hugged him, more for him than for me and he hugged back.
"Sorry" he mumbled.
I sniffed again. "You should've just left"
"Not without you. C'mon" he said, grabbing his clothes.
I looked around for my t-shirt. I'm sorry, I didn't fancy walking around the neighbourhood in just my boxers. Maxxie gave me his instead.
"Let's just go"
I nodded and sniffed again as he took my hand. I squeezed it and he walked me out of the house.
"Where now?" I asked quietly.
He looked around. "Umm... the motel. I need a shower."
He didn't say anything and I sniffled again. Oh stop feeling sorry for yourself, Hadley. He tied you to a chair, so what? Grow a pair, man. Maxxie squeezed my hand and I smiled up at him a little. He sort of smiled back but it didn't make me feel any better. This was all my fault.

|11 April 1973
Scenes from a Marriage (Swedish: Scener ur ett äktenskap) is a 1973 Swedish television series written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. The story explores the disintegration of a marriage between Marianne, a lawyer, and Johan, a professor (played respectively by Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson) over a long period, using a restricted cast, a naturalist, hyper-realistic cinematic style, claustrophobic close-ups, and strings of rapid, articulate monologues. After major success in Sweden, the series became notorious worldwide when it was condemned for allegedly inspiring a spike in Scandinavian divorce rates, which nearly doubled in the year of its release.
Marianne: Are we living in utter confusion?
Johan: You and I?
Marianne: No, all of us.
Johan: What do you mean?
Marianne: I'm talking about fear, uncertainty and ignorance.Do you think that secretly we're afraid we're slipping downhill and don't know what to do?
Johan: Yes, I think so.
Marianne: Is it too late?
Johan: Yes. But we shouldn't say things like that. Only think them.
Marianne: Have we missed something important?
Johan: All of us?
Marianne: Yes...

Outraged by the Rev. Joseph Lowery's benediction at Barack Obama's inauguration, Glenn Beck is calling a post-racial foul. "Even at the inauguration of a black president, it seems white America is being called racist," Beck whined after Lowrey suggested that "white will embrace what's right."
Beck, renowned conservative imbecile, also uttered the gem "and we're perfectly fine with brown sticking around." Thanks, Glenn.

Boynton Beach (Fla.) standout quarterback Lamar Jackson is poised to have a huge senior season. He led his team to the playoffs last season but they lost to Miami Central in the first round. It was still a great learning experience for Jackson and his teammates, according to his coach Rick Swain.
"We learned that we are not were we need to be," Swain said. "We realized that we need to play with more of a mental attitude and that game gave us an idea of what it takes. I now we are much more confident now."
Jackson, 6-foot-2, 202-pounds, is a true dual threat signal caller. At Boynton Beach, they run a pistol veer spread attack. This scheme is perfectly suited for the speedy and talented Jackson. There's no doubt he excels at running the zone read. No one in Florida does it better. What's scary is that Jackson is learning how to throw the football.
"People don't realize until you see him what a super strong arm he actually has," Swain said. "Now his accuracy has really improved. The other day he went 12/12 in practice against my defense. Last year he couldn't go 12/12 against air. Now he has a great knowledge of our offense, as does everyone. He's going to be tough to deal with, as will this offense. It's a triple option offense on every play."
In the right scheme Jackson should have a promising college future as a quarterback. And the teams he is showing very strong interest in all run offenses that are very condusive to his skill set.
"Lamar really likes West Virginia, Clemson and Auburn," Swain said. "I know he loved his trip to Nebraska and he loves their offense. Of course he really likes Louisville, especially with having Lamar Thomas there [Swain coached Thomas]. I also think Arizona would be a great place for him... in Rich Rod's offense. Right now I do believe that he's wide open."
So far Jackson has visited Nebraska, Auburn, Florida State and UCF. It appears, at least at this point and time, that the Knights are the only in-state school that Jackson is considering.
"He does like UCF and some of the stuff they run," Swain said. "I would prefer my guys to stay in-state. I always have. But it may not work out that way with him. And I think he wants to leave the state."

Goodbye, Chelsea
I'm on a boat to New York City now. I got promised a job as a bartender on Summer Avenue. It's a Dive Bar, and the work is loud and dirty, but I'll rise above it soon. I'll build a life for myself among new people, and I'll become Frances Francolini, the man who stood on his own two feet and made it by. As soon as I get some money I'll send it to Ellen, just like I did in Ireland.
With love,

You've lovingly nurtured, cared and invested money into them, so it's no wonder many people find it hard to say goodbye to their plants when it's time to move house.
With Grace Removals, you don't have to say goodbye to your plants. Relocating your plants local moves is a routine matter and normally presents few difficulties. However, when it comes to long distance moves, things can get a little tricky so it's important to be prepared.
Long distance moves are not conducive to the health and well-being of plants. There are also varying quarantine regulations between states, so if you're moving interstate it is vital you obtain the relevant approval from the appropriate department (your Grace Removals consultant can advise you who to contact). Even with approval, you need to consider which plants you are going to move. As Australia is such a diverse nation, it's a good idea to think about the soil type and the climate in your new garden, as the growing conditions may affect which plants you decide to bring.
If you have concerns that a particular plant may not survive the move or thrive in its new home, or you won't to leave the plants for the new owners, a good option is to take cuttings with you instead of the whole plant.
That being said, with a little preparation, many of your plants have a good chance to not only survive the move but thrive in their new environment. Give your plants the best chance with these tips:
Don't forget that when your plants arrive at your new home you need to make sure you remove the plastic immediately, take them out of their boxes and give them some water and plant food.
If you have transplanted them into plastic containers and you want to put them back into their original pots, make sure you wait a week before doing this. Seek advice from your local nursery if your plants are struggling in their new environment.

Stevie J To Appear In Court Due To $1 Million In Owed Child Support [Photo]
Yup! you read right! The Love & Hip Hop ATL star got served! According to AllHipHop, Today (February 21), Steven A. "Stevie J" Jordan was served a subpoena to appear in Family Court over unpaid child support payments. Stevie was served the subpoena at his new restaurant, "Sleazy & Zino" by Project Child Support, a foundation which helps custodial parents with collections. The subpoena stipulates that Stevie must provide a recent pay stub, W-2 wage and tax documents with most recent filed federal and state income tax returns.
Back in October of 2013, Carol Bennett sued Stevie J for over $1 million in back taxes and accused him of missing over 160 payments by November of 2013. In December, Stevie J denounced the lawsuit in an interview with Sister 2 Sister ion the grounds that she made no mention of suing him when they were together two weeks prior: "Nah! I mean let me know what's going on. Let me know the play. I didn't know the play. It's just like, 'Okay. I thought we was cool. I just hit you with some racks and some bands!"
Talk about a sticky situation!

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area a beehive of activity in preparation for Sunday opening
October 15, 2013
With less than 48 hours before the lifts start spinning at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, operations crews took to the mountain Friday for final preparations for opening day.
Officials at A-Basin expect as many as 1,000 skiers to take to the hill on the first day of the season. The renovations and expansion to the A-Frame base lodge will not be finished in time, but are expected to be completed some time in December. The base lodge will be open while under construction.
One eager area resident, who referred to himself only as "Nate Dogg," was already at the base of the mountain prepared to lay claim to the first chair of the season. He said he has claimed first chair in Colorado for 17 years now. He and a few friends planned to stay overnight Friday and Saturday in order to hold their place in line.
Loveland Ski Area officials told the Daily they won't be opening this weekend but are making good progress with snowmaking and will likely open later in the week.
"We want to say congrats to A-Basin for getting the season started," Loveland marketing director John Sellars said. "After this weekend, we should be in a position to make an announcement early next week. We're excited to be opening soon."
The two ski areas have maintained a friendly competition over the years to see who can be the first to open. A-Basin has been first for the last two seasons, Wolf Creek snuck into the competition three seasons ago, thanks to an early storm, and Loveland won the year before that. Neither A-Basin nor Loveland acknowledged that a mountain in Minnesota was able to beat them last year, pointing out that resort only opened a tow lift and closed after a day.
Keystone Resort and Copper Mountain are both scheduled to open Nov. 1, with Breckenridge Ski Resort following suit Nov. 8.
