Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - Mistress This
I looked around me. My dress was torn and it was very expensive. How was I going to explain this to Nelson? Damn. The vampire laid on the ally ground in front of me, glaring with his dark eyes. My blue ones looked at him and he seemed to fall away and then he was gone. I smirked, wiping the blood from my face. I looked at it and frowned. Damn that vampire that only half changed me. I vow I will find him and kill him, slowly and painfully.
My cellphone vibrated and I took it from my dress's built-in-bra. It was Nelson. "Hello, honey. Am I late already?" I asked, wiping off the knife on the vampire's shirt and putting it, along with the gun, back in the holster under my dress.
"No, I was just wondering where you are at. I haven't seen you in a few hours." He said, sounding a bit annoyed. He had a right though. I was engaged to him, and I just took off without a warning. My job rocks, making my soon-to-be husband mad at me.
I put on the angel voice, making my Southren accent a bit stronger. "I'm sorry. I guess I just lost track of time...um...shopping. I had to find a new dress. The one you bought, well, it kind of ripped when I trying to stop the dog from bitting the house-maid. I think I stepped on it. I don't remember. I was flustered." I changed out of the dress and stood in the ally in my underwear, rooting through my bag for another dress. The phone was pressed between my shoulder and my face as I pulled out a mini-black dress and sighed. "I love this dress I have on now, but you may not like it, darlin'."
"Well, tell me where you are, and I'll send the car to get you." He said, stomping about the house. I wondered which room he was in. I had my guns and things in the barn, and he never goes in there. Not sense he was ten and found his parents hung there. Maybe he was in our room. I pulled out the black heels and kicked off the silver ones.
"Oh, alright. I'm by the coffee shop about four miles West of the house."
"Alright. Harris'll be there soon." He hung up so I walked into the coffee shop. I smiled at the lady behind the counter and she looked startled.
"It's the hair, ain't it?" I asked. She nodded. "Well, I'll just go fix myelf up then." I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Yep, I looked like shit. I pulled out a brush a ran in through my hair, through the brushed strands over my shoulders. I reapplied my makeup, adjusted my dress and escaped before the stuck-up bitch could say anything. I smiled at the ladt again. "Better?"
She nodded, a smile on her lips. "Yes. What can I get you?" I sat down at the counter, and she dabbed a napkin on her tongue. She wipped it under my chin. The tip was pink with blood. I glared at it. "You got it on you, fighting Henry."
"You knew him?" She nodded again and gave me a glass of water. "Sorry if he was a friend of your's but I dislike his kind. I'm actually paid for the things I do that kind." I said, twirling the water. I thought about it. I was half vampire, yes, but I didn't need the blood, the sun didn't bother me, silver didn't, neither did garlic. If you thought about it, I was a bit like Blade. I was stronger and faster, and lived longer than any human. Unlike Blade though, I could escaped this horrible reality. I had to kill the man who changed me into this monster, and I've be free.
The glass crushed in my hand. "Sorry. I must not know my own strength." I laughed a little, looking out the window. The car was there, so I left a five onthe counter and left. I stood outside for a minute, thinking about how I didn't really want to go socialize today. I glanced around as Harris opened the door. He was like my grandfather. I slid into the car with the cool grace of an African cat. "Harris, lets take the long way home." I saw him nodded and leaned back, putting one leg over the other and stretching my arms over the back-seat.
Life was fantastic wasn't it?

haha this is really good, unlike most stories i read. :) kinda funny to, haha i dunno why?? probably because she uses a different personality like ''i put on an angel voice'' . :)
I was confused thoroughly through the story. I do think it was really good though and I liked her personality, she seemed tough. Like i said before I was confused each topic she turned to disappeared quite quickly making it hard for me to read, leaving a few key questions out. It was written pretty good and I would love to read more of your work soon. ~Isabella xx
I enjoyed this! She seems like a real tough cookie and I like this in a character. Most of the books, the girl is falling for some guy who couldn't care less about her, or something along those lines, but I like these types of stories. I'll be continuing on! :)
I honestly don't remember much about this novel. I wrote it about a year or so ago, and since I've pumped out a few poems, short stories, and everything else a girl my age does lol. I'm glad you liked it. Please don't feel confined to just Mistress This. Feel free to browse anything, and hopefully I can climb over this writer's block and continue with my passion!

In a clip from the next installment of her controversial docu-series, Lindsay Lohan and dad Michael get into a heated argument after he discovers she's been spending time with her pre-rehab pals.
The pair are having bonding session over lunch when they start to discuss an old nightclub friend and other friends from her past.
Believing them to be a bad influence now that she's on the road to recovery, Michael, 53, expresses his concern, but they don't see eye-to-eye on the matter.
"Now you're getting me angry," the former child star fumes.
"You weren't good for me for a long time," she adds, while her dad cooly replies: "Well that's fine honny, I totally accept that."
Later, talking to camera, the 27-year-old says: "When my dad makes a nasty comment about my friends it hurts me.
"They're [at their] places in their lives - as long as they're not bringing that into my life now then it's fine to have them in my life.
"They may go out and do what they want to do but they're not the kind of people that are going to do it around me, and that's what matters to me."
She continues: "They're good people, they're not bad people and they've been there for me when other people weren't."
The first show, which aired last week, saw the star struggle to keep her emotions in check.
"Coming back to New York I needed a change, a fresh start, a clean slate and I needed to be close to my family," she revealed during the hour long documentary. "Life can be chaotic and it's keeping myself calm in the middle of that which I didn't do before and I'm learning to do."
However as the camera followed Lindsay's efforts to find somewhere to live in SoHo, New York, she was seen getting increasingly worked up.
"It's really stressful finding a place in New York," the Mean Girls actress admitted. "The boards who have to approve you, they're like, 'Oh it's Lindsay Lohan. Oh will she be having late, loud nights? We don't want her in our building.' Or 'Oh great, we'll have her in the building. Let's up the price!'"
Later as she was filmed storming off the set of a photo shoot after growing agitated that the brief had been changed the fragile star revealed it was a case of too much too soon.
She said: "That was me trying to do something to feel like I'm on set... and I shouldn't have done that as I compromised myself and my sobriety and my sanity by being in that headspace by being stressed out."
Constantly flanked by her sober coach and a personal assistant, Lindsay was seen veering from being tearfully happy at the sight of her sister modelling at a runway show to angrily chastising her broker for being 'lazy' when it came to securing the home she so desperately desired to get settled.

Top Traveller Review
A fantastic fortnight
The villa owner provided a very personal and efficient service and was able to sort a few extras for us, such as transfers from the airport, which made our holiday experience so much more relaxing.
Having been to Cyprus before and stayed on the outskirts of Agia Napa, we found the location of this villa so much more peaceful and relaxing and also cooler and less humid as there was a lovely breeze. We rented a car and so Agia Napa and Protoras were close enough to visit when we wanted to.
We couldn't believe our luck when we walked into the villa for the first time; we would recommend it to anyone.

The pool was lovely and clean. Having the pool was a real bonus and of course we all had a great time using it.

Thanks Deena for letting us stay in your wonderful villa. We hope to return again soon : )

Fantastic Winter Escape
Upon arrival the exterior of the villa was beautiful, a modern build with established planting surround.
The interior is of a very high standard with attention to detail in all rooms from up to date furniture, impressive lights to throws/ cushions on the sofa etc...
The Villa had everything and more that as a family we could need. DVD's and books, guides containing useful reviews on restaurants and local attractions.

We will definitely return to the Villa, a fantastic booking experience, fantastic holiday and fantastic memories. x
Exceeded Our Expectations
This was the first time we'd booked a villa and flight on our own so we were a bit apprehensive but needent have been .Deena the owner was a pleasure to deal with from the initial inquiry right up to our arrival, always answering any questions we had , she even recommended a car hire company from Larnaca airport which was faultless.
When we arrived at the villa after a steady 50 minute drive from the airport we were absolutely blown away by the quality if the villa , its impossible for the pictures to do it justice ,the private pool was kept immaculately by Frank who came twice a week with his wife Claire it is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for your holiday, 5 minutes walk from two beautiful beaches and 10 minutes walk from the shops bars and restaurants of Kapparis, Protaras is 10 minutes away by car and Ayia Napa 20 minutes away .
We will definatley come back again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa to family and friends
Immaculate, quality villa fab chill out holiday
Property was immaculate, everything provided and all of excellent quality. Quiet location but literally only ten minutes walk to restaurants and supermarkets. Variety of restaurants, we did not need a car as perfect chill out holiday. brilliant wifi, air con, dishwasher, washing machine and gas bbq and very comfortable beds.
Buses go regularly to other towns eg -Aiya Nappa and beaches are 5 min wAlk away. Taxi journey from airport 45 mins away and we booked via website suggested by Deena, approx 87 euros return for four of us, so easy.
The proprietor Deena extremely helpful with booking and providing lots of other very helpful information about resort. Frank and Claire were very helpful and kept pool and property so immaculate.
Highly recommend this Villa and location, there is nothing not to like !
Activity and Interests
Kapparis has a great selection of restaurants, bars (some have pool tables and recreational facilities for the children), small shops, an internet cafe and supermarket. The nearest beach to the villa is lovely Firemans Bay only a 5 minute stroll, Malama bay is an easy 10 minute walk and has its own watersports centre, at the head of the beach is the Malama Hotel which has a pool, bar, shop, restaurant and tennis courts all of which are open to the public.As you wander along the coastal path you will discover a host of secluded bays and coves with crystal clear waters and breathtaking scenery.

Kapparis is a quieter family resort that stays open all year round taking advantage of the 340 days a year sunshine and very mild winters. The villa is well located for those who want to escape and relax yet is only 5 or 10 minutes drive to larger resorts.

Bernie Kosar, the former Cleveland Browns' star quarterback, declared bankruptcy today.
It was the Chapter 11 variety.
According to Patrick Danner of the Miami Herald, Kosar filed a petition that revealed he owes creditors a total of $19.5 million, including almost $1.5 million to the Browns and $3 million to his ex-wife, Babette.
During a radio interview today with Tony Rizzo of WKNR in Cleveland, per Steve King of the Orange & Brown Report, the 45-year-old former NFL star discussed his financial problems.
"I've tried to be generous with family, friends and ex-teammates," Kosar said. "I've tried to help people out and let people manage things for me. I'm glad I was able to help those people and to help charities.
"But I've got four great kids and now I have to focus on them. The money comes and goes. But God has blessed me with the ability to make it."
Per the Herald, Kosar's restaurant — Bernie Kosar's Steakhouse — went out of business last year. And Kosar has been divorced for two years.
According to the report, Kosar indicated estimated assets ranging from $1 million to $10 million. However, his estimated debt ranged from $10 million to $50 million.
Kosar also reportedly owes $725,000 to Cleveland Gladiators owner Jim Ferraro. Kosar is the Arena Football League team's president.
Kosar also has a lot of debt, $9.7 million, incurred through real estate investments gone bad.
Kosar, who played at the University of Miami, lives in South Florida.
Bernie Kosar Files For Bankruptcy
Bernie Kosar, the former Cleveland Browns' star quarterback, declared bankruptcy today.

Obviously, he's not worried about his next meal – but still, I hope he gets things worked out.
HR_VA D-BAG says: Jun 19, 2009 7:28 PM
Too bad Bernie. Hope you get your money right.
blackglass3 says: Jun 19, 2009 7:40 PM
Poor guy. Hope he gets through it.
Bob_Nelson says: Jun 19, 2009 7:45 PM
I bet ex-wife Babette is no longer a babette but a screaming swamp sow.
I fell sorry for Bernie and more sorry for his children.
I hope Babette gets stiffed.
Ralph GreNader says: Jun 19, 2009 7:46 PM
Wow. That's really sad. No other way to describe it.
realityonetwo says: Jun 19, 2009 7:47 PM
I'd have to believe MillerCoors or Anheuser-Busch would sponsor him to get sloshed on their beer(s) during Browns preseason broadcasts…
MJA says: Jun 19, 2009 7:50 PM
Hopefully he owns up to his mistakes and comes up with a real bankruptcy plan, not the Mike Vick version where you keep all of your houses and cars, and only pay 33% of what you make over 10 million dollars (I think that was the number).
joebellio says: Jun 19, 2009 8:06 PM
Maybe he can hold a camp to teach QB's how to scramble!
Always thought he was a bum, now just a drunk bum! Anyone ever catch his commentary during preseason Browns games?
Backinthesaddle says: Jun 19, 2009 8:10 PM
I always considered Kosar a very smart guy. I have to think he was leveraged too much and this economy caused assets to become liabilities.
I always liked his plain frankness when he'd be commentating on football.
JOSHCRIBBSFTW says: Jun 19, 2009 8:23 PM

Belichick called out this fraud years ago…..
JakeDSnake says: Jun 19, 2009 8:31 PM
Belichick's fault. Well, that's what Bledsoe told Ron Borges anyway. I bet Vinnie Testaverde isn't broke.
The Jimmy says: Jun 19, 2009 8:34 PM
Sad to see the problems Kosar has had. He was always a smart guy and a class act when he was a player. I don't think anybody would have predicted his post football problems.
db3300 says: Jun 19, 2009 8:55 PM
I always liked Kosar but you have to be a f***ing idiot to run out of money when you've made as much as he did. This is just as bad as the morons who win a 100 million dollar lottery and are out of money 5 years later. Turns out they bought a mansion for every 5th cousin – or at least everyone claiming to be a 5th cousin.
Stupid. You have life licked and turn into a financial wizard on the scale of Mike Tyson.
Sundance says: Jun 19, 2009 8:58 PM
Welcome the the National Enquirer!! And this is news, why??
Cut the guy some slack and give him the privacy he deserves.
realityonetwo says: Jun 19, 2009 9:39 PM
Give him the privacy he deserves? Are you serious? He's the one who filed bankruptcy in a public court. You know, the thing you do to keep creditors away from your "private" door….
FishRoy says: Jun 19, 2009 10:16 PM
Chapter 11, not a big deal. He'll reduce his debt burden and avoid being totally broke. This is just a writedown of a bunch of debt, not a claim that he is penniless. He will be fine.
TheCoop says: Jun 19, 2009 10:45 PM
The guy was and is a class act and always represented Cleveland with pride and dignity. I'll never forget the image of him consoling Earnest Byner after The Fumble.
@ db3300 – While Kosar made more money in a few years of football than most people will make in their entire lives, I highly doubt he made the insanely ridiculous money 15+ years ago that top QBs make today.
Florio, any way for you to let us know what his contract situation was when he played?
cramjones says: Jun 20, 2009 12:22 AM
Damn. Ugly and broke. Ain't that a bitch.

I bet it's a big deal to the people that he owes money to that won't be getting paid.

Kosar comes up short again. Only this time he can't blame Elway and "The Drive"! Guess we should call this one "The Debt".

zone 2 inch suspension lift, opinions??
I just ordered the zone 2 inch kit for my 88, can't wait to put it on, does anyone have pics of their ride with this lift? What do you think of it?
Thanks, Adam
Put one on my 95 a few months ago....with their standard shackles....very pleased with it. nice and level, good ride after about 200 mile break in. Have 31" tires.
Awesome! Thanks man, any pics?
I have the Zone 2" lift as well. I went with slightly taller aftermarket greasable shackles though. I have only had the lift on for a few months and am very happy with it. I put it on at 140,000 miles to replace the stock springs and they were so flat that I actually gained almost 5" of lift. I had to install a t-case drop kit to kill the driveshaft vibrations though. Not a big deal. I don't think you will be disappointed with the kit. I will try to post some pics. Good luck!
Hell yeah sounds great! Mines got 148xxx on it so my springs definitely need a refresh. I think it has like 3/4" lift shackles on it right now so ill probably end up needing a tcase drop too

It's a long shot, but Percy Harvin in teal would look pretty nice, wouldn't it? The former Florida Gator said recently he wants to be traded from the Minnesota Vikings because of being unhappy by a number of factors. Currently, the Jaguars top three wide receivers are Justin Blackmon, Laurent Robinson, and Mike Thomas/Cecil Shorts/Lee Evans. With the Jaguars running more three and four wide receiver sets this year, Harvin would fit in nicely in the slot, although he can play outside too. Harvin is only 24 years old, and had his best year in 2011 as a pro. He totaled 87 receptions, 967 receiving yards, and 7 total touchdowns.
It will be unlikely the Vikings want to trade such a weapon like Harvin due to his immense versatility and skill as a football player. He can return punts and kickoffs, a position which would surely benefit the Jaguars on special teams. Mike Mularkey and Bob Bratkowski could get creative on offense with a guy like Harvin by running reverses and other trickery plays in which Harvin can excel. The Jaguars are reportedly interested in making their offense more complex, so Harvin would help in that aspect. (Continue reading this post…)
General manager Gene Smith is constantly looking to add talent, especially in order to help quarterback Blaine Gabbert on offense. Adding Percy Harvin to that mix would further solidify the reconstruction of a dismal 2011 Jaguar offensive performance. For a team like the Jacksonville Jaguars, who had arguably the worst WR group in 2011, adding a play maker like Percy Harvin surely cannot hurt the team… can it?

The big full model makeover came in 2009 for the Subaru Forester. That means it's time for what the car business calls a mid-cycle update or a facelift for 2011.
Now if by "facelift" you're thinking, oh, a new grille and perhaps new colours, you'd be right. Subaru has done both to dress up the 2011 Forester. The seat cloth repels water more effectively, too.
But this is Subaru. An engineering company, not a design house of great distinction. People buy Subaru's for the engineering, for the hard bits, the clever nuts and bolts of a car.
Which brings us to Subaru's new 2.5-litre "boxer" or horizontally opposed engine. It now has twin overhead cams, versus the single one in the outgoing engine of the same displacement. You may yawn at this, but for Subaru types this is huge news - the first major redesign of the boxer engine in 21 years.
You might ask why, given power and torque remain essentially the same: 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. The answer is not how much power, but where is gets to work when you mash the throttle. For 2011, you have more power sooner and it comes on in a smoother manner. Overall acceleration comes in at about 9.5 seconds for 0-100 km/h, but fuel economy has improved to 9.9 litres/100 km in the city (from 10.4) and 7.5 highway (from 7.7).
Pricing? The 2011 starts at $25,995, which represents a zero price increase. The Forester range tops out at $35,495 for the 2.5XT Limited model, a modest $200 jump in price.
What hasn't changed a whit for 2011 is the all-wheel-drive systems offered in the 2011 Forester. That's good. The Subaru people almost gleefully point out that their full-time AWD system is just so much better than the competition's on-demand AWD systems - and they have a point. Power is always going to the wheels at both ends, compared to, say, a Honda CR-V, which only sends power rearwards when the front start to slip and spin.
A big part of the Subaru story has been AWD, dating back to 1985 when the Loyale arrived with AWD and an automatic transmission. Then in 1995, Subaru went exclusively AWD from top to bottom in its lineup and good things have been happening for Subie ever since - though slowly, for sure.
Subaru's buzzword is "Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive" and there is more than marketing spin at work here. What Subaru does is symmetrical in that the AWD design is balanced, with all the mechanical pieces oriented down the centre line of the vehicle - from the engine to the drive shaft. This means driveshafts are equal length and weight is distributed evenly. All good.
And, of course, Subaru's AWD system is always working to send traction to all the wheels - or I should say AWD systems. You see, the Forester is offered with two different AWD systems, one with the manual transmission and a better one with the automatic.
The manual system splits power evenly front to rear and when wheels front or back start to slip, a viscous or fluid coupling lock the centre differential to change how power is distributed. It works fine, but if you get the autobox, you buy more brainpower. That is, throttle and vehicle speed sensors tell the computer brain to move power around. What's here is smart enough to anticipate problems and move power accordingly, though in the normal cut and thrust of things 60 per cent of the power goes to the front wheels. If you need more power at the rears, then the system sends it there with no driver input at all.
On a snowy, miserable half day of driving the updated Forester about the Quebec City countryside, our little Forester never seemed at risk of getting stuck or even out of sorts. Here we have something of the ideal Canadian winter car. Because of how the AWD system operates, engine power is unlikely to overwhelm whatever traction the tires have, thus it's rare to suffer spinning wheels in a Subie.
As for the rest, the Forester is not a flashy ride, but it's comfortable and decently quiet. The pricing is competitive against the heavy hitters of the segment, ranging from Ford's Escape to Toyota's RAV4 and the CR-V and Volkswagen's Tiguan, too. Sure, sure, the Forester is not the most memorable design and the interior is nice enough but hardly breathtaking.
But the first and most important reason buyers go with Subaru is for the engineering. If you've shopped the Forester recently and dismissed it, then the new boxer engine should be cause for a second look.

OREGON / Intense search for sailboat's missing crew / Large catamaran left S.F. last week, was found Friday
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, December 16, 2006
Coast Guard helicopters were scouring the stormy seas off the Oregon coast in search of a missing three-member crew of a large catamaran that left San Francisco a week ago and was found Friday upside down in heavy surf about 80 miles southwest of Portland.
The twin-hulled catamaran, estimated at 40 to 50 feet in length, had recently sailed to San Francisco from South Africa. On Dec. 8, the crew headed out to the Pacific once again, passing through the Golden Gate bound for Seattle, to participate in a boat show.
Instead, the demasted and capsized boat was spotted at 10 a.m. about 50 feet offshore near Lincoln City, a beach community on the north-central Oregon coast. The boat washed up onto the beach and was still largely intact when rescuers reached it. But there were no signs of the crew.
Inside the wreck, the rescue team found a logbook with a final entry at 3 a.m. on Monday, the first day that a massive Pacific storm began buffeting the Northwest. The crew put the boat's position at 10 miles off Cape Blanco, a treacherous point on the southern coast of Oregon famous for shipwrecks. It is about 160 miles south of Lincoln City.
"There's no telling what kind of waters the crew ran into out there," said Petty Officer Shawn Eggert, a spokesman for the 13th Coast Guard District based in Seattle.
Searchers also found locked inside a cupboard a floatable radio beacon that, if it had sprung free, would have automatically broadcast an emergency signal to allow searchers to locate it. There were no signs of a life raft or of cold-water survival suits.
"We don't know if that means there were no extra suits, or that the crew took the ones they had, or if they had any," Eggert said.
The Coast Guard has not released the identity or nationality of the three or the name of the boat's owner.
Eggert said any one who has information about the crew and its plan to sail north to Seattle should call the Coast Guard at (800) 982-8813.
Double-hulled catamaran sailboats are fast and lightweight, and are harder to capsize than some single-hull sloops.
Five Coast Guard helicopters were dispatched to search for the crew, as well as a C-130 cargo plane from Sacramento.
Eggert said that conditions offshore are hazardous, with high winds and 30- to 40-foot swells.

Dr. Ramo's Rx for Great Health: Foods with more sugar than doughnuts
Women worry about the heart and breast cancer risks from hormone replacement therapy, so they switch to bio-identical hormones (which are identical to the ones your body makes). Here are the facts about bio-identical hormones.
But a snack doesn't have to appear sugary to have very high sugar content. Check out these 7 foods with more sugar than Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
A traditional glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut has 10 grams of sugar.
A Luna blueberry bliss bar has 13 grams of sugar
A six-inch sweet onion teriyaki chicken sandwich has 16 grams of sugar.
A grande Starbucks latte has 17 grams of sugar.
An 8-ounce glass of Tropicana orange juice has 22 grams of sugar.
Yoplait original strawberry yogurt has 26 grams of sugar.
A 20 ounce Vitamin Water has between 31 grams of sugar.
Odwalla Super Food smoothie has 37 grams of sugar.

text: Hi, Just got OS X final release, and got the new version of clisp. The good news is that most of the problems I had had with the previous released version of clisp with the public beta have been solved. The bad news is that I have a whole new set of problems, this time with IPV6 support. Has anyone attempted compiling clisp on OS X? I have tried adding -UHAVE_IPV6 to cflags in the makefile, to no avail. Any other suggestions? Here's a sampling of the errors I'm getting: In file included from socket.d:40: lispbibl.d:6882: warning: volatile register variables don't work as you might wish socket.d: In function `C_machine_instance': socket.d:196: structure has no member named `in6_u' socket.d:196: structure has no member named `in6_u' ...

This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/499,341, filed on Jun. 18, 1990, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,435.
The present invention relates to an array antenna which is mounted on a wall body having a curved outer surface, for example, a wall body of an airplane and also to a power supply system for the antenna.
Heretofore aircrafts, whether military or civilian, have been equipped with various sorts of communication or radar array antennas.
In an array antenna of the type referred to, a plurality of antenna elements are mounted on a base in a side-by-side positional relationship and the antenna is usually mounted on the outside surface of an airplane body (wall body).
Further, an array antenna installed on the outside, for which a high environmental resistance performance is demanded, employs in many cases a structure wherein the aforementioned antenna elements are enclosed by a radome.
FIG. 8 exemplifies a microstrip array antenna as described, above which comprises a metallic base 1, a grounding plate 2, a dielectric substrate 3, a radiation conductor 4 (antenna element), a coaxial cable 10 (power supply means) which is fixed in the metallic base 1 and the grounding plate 2 as passed therethrough to supply power from the cable via a central conductor 10a to the radiation conductor 4, these members being sequentially stacked on the metallic base 1 in this order.
Fixed on the metallic base 1 by means of rivets 8 at its peripheral edge is a radome 6 so that a metallic spacer 7 disposed between the radome and the radiation conductor 4 maintains a predetermined gap 5.
In the prior art array antenna, however, not only external parts including the metallic base 1, the radome 6 and so on but also internal constituent parts are all formed in a planar configuration. For this reason, in order for the prior art array antenna to be fixedly mounted on such a curved surface as the outside surface of an airplane, a spacer 12 must be provided between the bottom surface of the metallic base 1 and an airplane body 11 and as shown in FIG. 9.
Such provision of the spacer, however, causes an increase of a projection h of the array antenna from the airplane body at its both ends, which results in that the air resistance of the antenna is increased and thus this involves the vibration and deformation of the radome 6 due to the air pressure.
Since the radome 6 is usually made of such dielectric material as resin, a deformation in the radome 6 positioned in a beam radiation path causes a variation in the total dielectric constant of the radiation conductor 4 above it, which affects the beam characteristics of the antenna.
Further, The, repetitive deformation of the radome 6 has a great effect on the mechanical strength of the radome 6 itself.
Meanwhile, this sort of array antenna to be externally installed includes a connector which passes through the airplane body to connect the respective antenna elements and a transmitter/receiver.
This is realized in the prior art, by positioning a flange part 24 of a connector 23 on an outer surface of an airplane body 25 and tightening the flange part 24 to the airplane body 25 through a packing 26 to thereby maintain the interior of the airplane body 25 in an air-tight condition, as shown in FIG. 10.
In the event where it is necessary to supply power individually to a multiplicity of antenna elements as in a phased array antenna, however, the above technique requires the formation of a multiplicity of holes in a relative small zone on the airplane body 25, thus making it difficult to secure the strength of this zone and the air tightness of the airplane body and further involving a large number of hole formation steps.
And this technique, when it is desired to make such holes in the body of an existing airplane being used, involves more difficulties in attaining that purpose.
In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an array antenna which can maintain the strength of a casing on which the antenna is to be installed and also maintain the air-tightness of the casing.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the above object is attained by providing an array antenna wherein a plurality of antenna elements are arranged on a common base and the base and a radome for covering the plurality of antenna elements are both formed to be curved in accordance with the curved configuration of a wall body on which the antenna is to be mounted. Therefore, the total projection height of the antenna from the wall member can be minimized and made uniform.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power supply system which comprises an opening provided in a wall body on which an array antenna is to be mounted, a cylindrical member provided at a peripheral edge part of the opening, a group of power supply connectors disposed at a location of the array antenna corresponding to the opening of the wall body, a group of power supply lines disposed in an interior of the cylindrical member to be connected to the group of power supply connectors, and adhesive sealingly filled in the interior of the cylindrical member between the power supply lines to seal the cylindrical member.
With this power supply system, power supply can be realized in such a condition that the interior of a wall body on which the array antenna is mounted can be kept air-tight and water-tight.

FIG. 10 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view showing a prior art power supply system.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown an embodiment of an array antenna in accordance with the present invention, respectively in a cross sectional view and in a plan view. The antenna of the present embodiment is of an array type in which a plurality of microstrip antenna elements are arranged and which functions, when the phase of these antenna elements is controlled, as a so-called sequential array antenna.
As best seen is FIG. 1, the microstrip antenna comprises a base 31, grounding plate 32, a dielectric substrate 33, a plurality of conductors 34 positioned as spaced at intervals of a predetermined distance on the dielectric substrate 33, coaxial cables 40 which are fixed as passed through the base 31 and a grounding plate 32 and central conductors 40a of which are connected to the respective radiation conductors 34, a paper honeycomb material 45 filled in a space defined between the dielectric substrate 33 and a radome 36, these members being sequentially stacked on the base 31 in this order.
The base 31, a grounding plate 32, the dielectric substrate 33 and the radome 36 are formed to be respectively curved so as to coincide with the curved configurations of an outside surface of an airplane body 47. For this reason, the bottom surface (base 31) of the antenna can be brought into a tight contact with the outside surface of the airplane body 47 and the curvature of the outside surface of the radome 36 can be made equal to that of the outside surface of the airplane body 47.
The respective radiation conductors 34 may be formed to be curved so as to coincide with the curvature of the airplane body 47 or may be formed to be planar.
The coaxial cables 40 corresponding in number to the radiation conductors 34 have been led out from the interior of the airplane body in the foregoing embodiment. However, when a distributor/compositer is provided for supplying power to the respective radiation conductors 34, it is suffice to use a single coaxial cable as a power supply line. A technique using such a distributor/compositer can be commonly applied even in other embodiments which will be explained in the following.
Mounting of the radome 36 can be carried out by covering the radome 36 on the paper honeycomb material 45 under such a condition that the paper honeycomb material 45 is placed on the dielectric substrate 33, and then by fixing the peripheral edge portion of the base 31 and radome 36 by means of rivets 38.
Since the paper honeycomb material 45 functions to support the radome 36 as contacted with the inner wall surface thereof, the supporting strength of the antenna can be improved to a large extent, the vibrational resistance can be improved, and further the influences exerted by wind pressure or pressure difference can be reduced to a large extent.
The honeycomb material 45, which is made of paper, has a dielectric constant of about 1 (corresponding to air). Thus, even when the honeycomb is disposed as tightly contacted with the radiation conductor 34, this will cause no disturbance of excitation mode of a beam radiated from the radiation conductors and therefore will cause no variation in the characteristics of the microstrip antenna. In addition, because of the honeycomb 45 made of paper, the antenna can be greatly reduced in weight so that the weight limitations imposed on prior art antennas for airplane mounting can be easily cleared, whereby the antenna of the present invention using the paper honeycomb can expand its structural design flexibility when compared with the prior art antenna using a metallic spacer.
Shown in FIG. 3 is a microstrip array antenna in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, which antenna includes a base 51 which forms the bottom plate of the antenna, a first grounding layer 52 made of dielectric material, a first dielectric substrate 70, LC matching circuits 71 of strip lines for impedance matching, a second dielectric substrate 74, a second grounding layer 76, a third grounding layer 78, a third dielectric substrate 80, a radome 56 disposed to cover these members, these members being sequentially stacked on the base 51 in this order.
The radome 56 is fixedly mounted on the base 51 by means of rivets 55. The radome 56 is provided in its inner bottom surface with a plurality of recesses 56a which are spaced from each other at intervals of a predetermined distance, and radiation conductors 54 are embedded in the respective recesses 56a.
The base 51 and the members sequentially stacked on the base 51 are formed to be curved so that these members have the same curvature as the curved surface of a airplane body 47.
Coaxial cables 60 are fixed as passed through the base 51 and the first grounding layer 52 and have central conductors 60a connected to the associated LC matching circuits respectively. The LC matching circuits 71 are connected to the associated radiation conductors 54 by means of associated power supply pins 85.
The first and second grounding layers 52 and 76 enclose or sandwich the LC matching circuits 71 from upper and lower sides thereof and the third grounding layer 78 is disposed as opposed to the radiation conductors 54. The earthing layers 76 and 78 may be replaced by a single grounding layer which has the same functions as the layers 76 and 78.
The radiation conductors 54 have lower sides contacted with the upper side of the dielectric substrate 80 and also receive power from the respective power supply pins 85.
When the radome 56 is tightly contacted with the radiation conductors 54, this causes change of the excitation mode above the radiation conductors, whereby the antenna characteristics, in particular, the impedance characteristic is varied to a greater extent compared with the situation where the radome 56 is not used. In the present embodiment, such an impedance variation problem is solved by providing the matching circuits 71 in the input terminal portions to match the input impedance at a desired value. With such an arrangement, a variation in the input impedance characteristic caused by the close contact of the radome with the radiation conductors can be compensated for.
As has been explained above, in accordance with the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, since the overall configuration of the array antenna including the radome is curved so as to coincide with the surface configuration of the airplane body 47 or the like, the total projection height of the antenna can be minimized.
Accordingly, it is possible to solve various problems in the prior art which have so far easily occurred when mounted on an airplane. More specifically, when the present invention is mounted on an airplane, since the air resistance can be reduced to a large extent, vibrations, expansions, shrinkages or other deformations in the radome caused by wind pressure can be prevented. As a result, the present invention can prevent the influences on the beam characteristics caused by deformations in the radome positioned in the beam radiation path, the influences on the mechanical strength and further the deterioration of an operating fuel cost.
Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a further embodiment of the microstrip array antenna in accordance with the present invention, which antenna includes a base 91 which is installed on the surface of a airplane body 47 and which is also used as a grounding plate, a radome 96 disposed on the base 91 to define a predetermined air gap 95 with the upper surface of the base 91, a plurality of radiation conductors 94 disposed as contacted at their lower sides with the inner side of the radome 96 with the lower sides of the conductors being exposed to the air gap 95, and a group of coaxial cables 100 fixed as passed through the base 91 and having central conductors 100a connected to the associated radiation conductors 94.
The base 91 is formed as curved so as to have the same curvature as the curved surface of the airplane body 47, and the upper side of the radome 96 is also formed as curved so as to have the same curvature as the curved surface of the airplane body 47.
The air trapped in the gap 95 defined by the base 91 and the radiation conductors 94 functions as a dielectric material.
Even the present embodiment, like the foregoing embodiments, can prevent the deformation of the radome due to wind pressure. The present embodiment is advantageous in that the number of necessary parts can be reduced to simplify the structure, the height of the radome can be set to be sufficiently small and further the weight can be made small.
Although any one of the antennas shown in the foregoing embodiments has been mounted on the surface of the airplane body 47, the antennas of the foregoing embodiments may be applied even to the curved wall or the like of a moving object or a building other than the airplane. To this end, objects on which the antenna is to be mounted are expressed inclusively as "wall body" in the claims.
Explanation will next be made as to an embodiment of a power supply system in accordance with the present invention.
Prior to the explanation of the embodiment, the general arrangement of an array antenna to which the present embodiment is applied, in particular, of an array antenna having a flat radiation surface for electromagnetic waves, will first be briefly explained.
FIGS. 6 and 7 are fragmentary cross-sectional and rear views of a microstrip phased array antenna of a rear two-point power supply type having flat radiation patches. Each one of antenna elements of the antenna includes a radiation patch 116 of, for example, a circular shape disposed on the front side of a dielectric material 115 (see FIG. 6) which forms a predetermined capacitance, grounding plate 117 provided on the rear side of the dielectric material 115, a printed circuit board 119 bonded with adhesive on the rear side of the grounding plate 117 on which a hybrid circuit 118 is formed as shown in FIG. 7, and pins 120 and 121 passed through the dielectric material 115 and the printed circuit board 119 to connect the radiation patch 116 and the hybrid circuit 118.
With such an antenna element, power is supplied to the radiation patch 116 through the pins 120 and 121. In this case, when a phase difference between high frequency currents at power supply points 122 and 123 (see FIG. 7) is set to be a predetermined angle, and generally to be 90 degrees and further when the impedances at the power supply points 122 and 123 are matched at, for example, 50 ohms; the antenna element can radiate or receive circularly polarized electromagnetic waves. And when a multiplicity of such antenna elements are arranged and the phase of power supplied to the respective elements is sequentially rotated, a phased array antenna can be configured.
The hybrid circuit 118 is connected at its one end with a connector 124 fixedly mounted on the printed circuit board 119 and power supply to the antenna element is carried out through the connector 124.
The other end of the circuit 118 is soldered to the grounding plate 117 at a point 126 through a proper resistor 125.
The grounding side of the connector 124 is also soldered to the grounding plate 117 at a point 127 (see FIG. 7).
Further, the grounding plate 117 must be electrically connected to, e.g., the surface of an airplane body. However, the hybrid circuit 118 is provided on the rear side of the grounding plate 117 and may cause a short-circuiting. In FIG. 6 for the purpose of avoiding such a short-circuiting, a suitable insulating plate 128 is provided to abut at its peripheral part against the grounding plate 117 and the grounding plate 117 is grounded to the airplane body through an electrically conductive sheet 129 attached onto the rear side of the insulating plate 128. In this connection, interconnection between the grounding plate and the conductive sheet 129 is effected by joining with solder the grounding plate 117 to the protective insulating plate 128 at a suitable point 130 in its end part or opening.
The array antenna comprising a multiplicity of such antenna elements arranged as mentioned above can be made basically in the form of a highly thin plate and thus can avoid the increase of the aerodynamic resistance, whereby the antenna can be suitably used as an antenna in a communication system designed for mounting on an airplane.
FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the power supply system 150 in accordance with the present invention, which is applied to the aforementioned array antenna mounted on the pressurized bulkhead, airplane body or the like of an airplane.
In the drawing, a multiplicity of radiation patches 116 are arranged on a board 131 in a planar form, and the board 131 abuts against a pressurized bulkhead 134 in such a condition that the board 131 is sandwiched in between a radome 132 and a shim 133 made of aluminum alloy.
The shim is formed to be tightly contacted with a grounding conductive sheet 129 provided on the board 131 and to be fitted to the curved outside surface of the pressurized bulkhead 134.
Meanwhile, the pressurized bulkhead 134 is provided therein with an opening 135 which can accommodate therein a group of connectors 124 projected from the board 131 so as to avoid the grounding conductive sheet 129 attached onto the rear side of the board 131. A cylindrical member 136 is fixed by screws 137 to the shim 133 at the peripheral part of an opening made in the shim 133 which is slightly smaller in inner diameter than the opening 135 and which abuts against the opening 135 as substantially concentric therewith, so that the cylindrical member 136 passes through the opening 135 of the bulkhead 134 and depends from the board 131 into the interior of the bulkhead 134.
The cylindrical member 136 is provided at its outer circumferential part with a threaded part 138 which is in threaded engagement with a nut 139. Since a packing 140 and a spring washer 141 are provided between the nut 139 and the bulkhead 134, the air tightness of the opening 135 in the bulkhead can be secured and the mechanical fixation of the cylinder 136 can be attained by tightening the nut 139.
The shim 133 is fixedly secured at its outer peripheral edge to the pressurized bulkhead 134 by tightly screwing bolts into the associated internal female threaded holes of air-tight pins 142 fixedly attached to the bulkhead 134.
The connectors 124 are connected with associated power supply coaxial cables (power supply lines) 143 respectively. The cables 143 are previously passed through an opening 144a provided in a lid 144 of the cylindrical member 136. And the connectors 124 are fixed to the board 131 and thereafter the open end of the cylinder 136 is fixedly covered with the lid 144.
After fixation of the lid 144, epoxy or silicon series adhesive 146 is filled into the interior of the cylindrical member 136 from an inlet port 145 provided in the lid 144 and then solidified or set therein.
With such a structure, even if the antenna radome 132 is destroyed through the collision of birds or the like against the radome and the air tightness of the opening 135 in the pressurized bulkhead 134 is destroyed, this will not affect the interior of the pressurized cabin of the airplane.
The afore-mentioned power supply system has been applied to the microstrip array antenna of the type wherein power is supplied from the rear side of the antenna element to the radiation patch at the two points in the foregoing example, but the power supply system may also be applied to an antenna wherein power supply to a radiation patch is effected at one point and to an antenna wherein a power supply point or points are provided at the edge of a radiation patch.
Further, the power supply connectors 124 to the radiation patch have been provided concentrately at one location in the embodiment of FIG. 5. However, in the case where the number of such radiation patches is large, the power supply connectors may be divided into two or more groups and the connector groups may be separately concentratedly located. Even in such a case, the power supply system of the present invention can be effectively employed, as a matter of course.
Furthermore, the power supply system of the present invention is not restricted as its applications only to the planar antenna but may be applied to any sort of antenna so long as it is an array antenna wherein array antenna elements are arranged.
In addition, the application objectives of the power supply system of the present invention are not limited only to airplanes but also may include space navigation vehicles, warships, vessels, land moving objects, which require air-tightness or water-tightness in the space inside the outboard thereof.
An array antenna in accordance with the present invention is highly effective as an antenna to be mounted on an airplane which requires the mounted antenna to be low in its mounted height.
Further, since a power supply system in accordance with the present invention can supply power to an array antenna while keeping its air tightness and water tightness, the system can be effectively applied to an array antenna to be mounted, in particular, on the pressurized bulkhead or the like of an airplane.

Paranormal Activity
I froze after we both hung up. I literally froze, my hand still held the phone to my ear and I couldn't move. I was sitting upright, stuck to my bed.
What did he mean he likes me? That means I have to go to school tomorrow and confront him. What if I pull a sicky, that would be a good idea. But that means when I go back to school he'll be asking where i've been.
I slammed the phone down hard and sighed heavily, sulking my face into my hands.
School the next day was actual hell. I sat with him in science, while Julianna and Ethan sat in front of us. He greeted me happily, but the only thing I could manage was a nod. I felt so bad, I hadn't laughed in so long.
I felt so awkward at lunch. I didn't speak to either Julianna or Jerry. I even passed the liquorice and I adore the stuff. This was so complicated, I had no idea what to say to him. We'd been friends for years, I didn't know he had feelings for me though.
We didn't say goodbye that day. In fact it got to the point where I stopped talking to everyone. Why did he like me? This just didn't make any sense! After one week of complete loneliness, I sat at his table with Julianna and said a small but happy, "Hello." he grinned.
After chatting with him, he broke the ice. "Hey, so now that your talking and...eating again. I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with me this Saturday?" I watched his finger tapping the table consistently. I nodded. "You know we could see um...Love Tied?" he grinned.
"Um...no. No romance. What about...Paranormal Activity?" I asked.
"That's a horror...isn't it?" he asked uneasily.
"Yeah, it's perfect. We should get a bunch of people to go," I turned to Julianna, "wanna' come?" I asked. She smiled and nodded happily. "I'll ask my friend Nick to come too."

Nikon has posted firmware updates for the following cameras: D3100, D3200, D5100, D5200, and P7700. More accurate detection of the remaining charge for the EN-EL14a rechargeable li-ion battery is the only fix.

How can I do my software for the camera pictures if possible
I updated my D5200 to C 1.01 immediately after purchase (and before reading these comments). I can't comment on changes as I am new to this camera. I am hoping third party batteries still work, as I have two in the mail from Amazon. I am experiencing problems using Live View using Sofortbuild. Live View will not work, but it does work using Nikon's (expensive) Camera Control Pro 2. I can activate the Live View with the camera unplugged, but as soon as I connect it, the mirror drops and Live View stops. I fear Nikon might have sneaked in a patch for third party batteries and software.
Unofficial Nikon Firmware Patching Tool:
CAUTION: Be very careful - I just did the firmware update for the Nikon P7700, and now, 3rd party batteries no longer work. The camera will not respond to any of the 3rd party models that I have - including the Wasabi's that are superior. Once you turn off the camera (after firmware update), it will not start up again with a 3rd party battery (at least in my case). But it will function just fine with Nikon batteries. Way to go Nikon!!!! You Tu_ds....another way for you to make an extra buck now having to buy your batteries exclusively.
I have the older firmware - but is that feasible? I don't want to screw things up - so generally, when you introduce the most recent (previous) firmware, should this set things back the way they were?
Well, the question is whether the camera will allow you to install a lower version firmware. Sometimes these things are programmed in such a way that the camera will ignore the "new" (old in your case) firmware if this firmware's version number is lower than what's currently in the camera.
I've got a D5200 and now I'm wondering if this upgrade would make my non-Nikon battery stop working as well. For now, I'm just not going to install this new firmware at all.
Same here on my D5100, Third party batteries don't work.
HA! That's just what I was going thinking, that the update would do that. I have a D3100 and P7700 and use Wasabi EN-EL14s with no problem for both. Boy am I glad I checked out these comments before I did anything. Thanks, I hope you can get it squared away. How do you like that P7700?
I guess the new firmware must identify EN-EL14 vs. EN-EL14a and the check fails with a 3rd-party battery. Probably a bug in the new firmware as Nikon may simply have skipped a test for 3rd-party batteries in the lab. Solution would be to fall back to EN-EL14 behaviour in the firmware.
Not sure though if there will ever be another FW update. Nevertheless, I still don't think Nikon did it on purpose or that all 3rd-party batteries cause problems.
There is no way to know if a non-factory firmware downgrade is safe. I doubt if Nikon even test for this. It can't be as simple as just reflashing because saved parameters have to be preserved. Simplest and safest way is for the camera to check firmware binary for an embedded version number and only apply newer versions.
Also safest and simplest to calibrate camera behaviour for Nikon's own products. Why would they do anything else?
Interestingly the P7100 also uses EN-EL14s but hasn't had a firmware update.
It´s always better than nothing to see some Firmware updates... AND NOW.. UP WITH THE DAM D400, Cum´onnnnnnnnnnnnnn - Show Me the D400...
5200 fw LINK IS WRONG. It points to 5100 update ! Nikon file extracts as 5100.bin ...
I'm thinking about taking advantage of the special for the D5200 / 18-140 kit. It's such a great all around camera and that lens is pricey, but with the $400 instant rebate special, the kit is extremely reasonable. The only thing keeping me from doing it now is the D7100 is so excellent, and the D5300 has added 1080p60, a first for any Nikon.
But since IQ is so close on all three bodies, it's a really tough choice.
For the D3200 firmware, if they added 1/3 EV steps to the ISO, it would be a heck of a lot more desirable of a body for me. As it is, I can't deal with full stops in ISO.
This should breathe more life into these discontinued camera models.
Only thing they did is only thing they fixed i see no reason why would that "breathe more life into these discontinued camera models."
Would've liked to see a firmware update for my D7100 to allow dual functions to Fn and Pv, like I have it in my D3. As it stands it's single function only: either press or press+turn, not both.
