* Prices may differ from that shown
By now, most people will have at least heard of Call Of Duty games. Well my partner introduced these to me, and the first one he actually bought was Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. We are now up to Modern Warfare 2, and Black ops, with Modern Warfare 3 due for release in November, but the Original Modern Warfare is still a great game, and it is what started the madness of Call of Duty.
Obviously being game 4 of the COD series, there is 3 other games before Modern Warfare, but these were for PC and never took off as big as Modern Warfare has done. I was never into 1st person shooters, or shooting games in general and when my partner bought this game, I didn't really pay much attention to it at first. I then saw him playing this online, against a team of other players as part of a team and I started to pay a little bit of attention.
It looked like a lot of fun to play, and I asked to have a go. Ever since then I have been hooked on the games, and I even managed to play the story mode (or campaign) on this one. I thought that on the easiest level, the campaign mode was actually quite easy to play, as you go through different towns and levels (or maps as I have since been told!) completing different missions, and killing off the enemies. There can be an overwhelming amount of enemies at times, and I did find this game quite hard to start with, as I had never played anything like this before. Once you get to grips with the controls and what you have to do, it does get easier. I did find it difficult not to shoot my own team for a while though!!
There are different levels of difficulty, and after I completed the game on the easy mode, I stepped it up a bit and went for the "regular" difficulty. I found this level to be a lot harder to play, but with a lot of frustration and anger, I finally managed to complete this level. I have not even tried the harder and veteran levels, as something may get broken and I can not be affording to replace my TV or Xbox 360!! My partner has completed Modern Warfare on the harder level but he struggles with the veteran and has since stopped trying lol!
There is other multiplayer options on Modern Warfare for two players, but I never found these much fun and split screens can be annoying. I also found it too easy to cheat and watch where my partner was hiding so I could sneak up behind him and kill him! This is where the online multiplayer is an amazing thing to play!
The online multiplayer is a whole world of its own, and I really love playing Modern Warfare online. In fact I first played online, before I even started the story mode! The basic idea of the online playing system is that you can join teams (or alone) and play with millions of other players around the world in different game types. There is a mass selection of things to play, including a Team Death Match, Domination, Free-For-All, and Capture The Flag.
Team Death Match is where you are part of a team of 6 people, and you are against another team of 6 people. The first team to the kill limit wins, or if the time limit is reached, the winning team will be the team with the higher amount of kills. Domination is again a team of 6 versus 6, but kills are not what get you the win in this game type. There are 3 flags labeled A, B and C and you have to capture the flags for your team. Each flag you hold gets you more points and the winning team is the first to reach 200 points. If the enemy takes your flags, you have to fight to get them back. Free for all is 8 people, all against each other and the winner is the one with the highest amount of kills at the end of the time limit. Capture The Flag is another 6 versus 6 game, but in this one each team has a flag at their own base and you have to defend this flag, whilst capturing your enemy teams flag and bringing it to your base.
There also other game types you can play, and there pretty much is something for everyone. There is a large choice of maps (which I call levels - when my partner isn't listening!!) to play on, and these are chosen at random by the game. There is one I love called Vacant, where everything takes place in a disused building similiar to an old office block. There is also one called Block, which is based in two flat blocks some where in Russia. There are many others, and all maps have their own little hiding spots, so when you get used to the maps you will learn how to play each one better.
All the maps are based on the maps you have played during the main story mode, so you will probably recognise them if you have played the main game before playing online. During these online games you gain points for kills, and different challenges. These points enable you to progess to different levels of skill, which enable you to get better weapons, use better perks and have little extras for your game play. As you get further into the levels of skill, you will find it takes a little longer each time to get up to the next level, as the gap between the levels gets bigger the higher you go. When you get to level 50 in the skills level, you can chose to Prestige. This basically means you start all over again from the beginning, but you will be a prestige level and get a cool badge for it!
There is a large selection of weapons, once you start going up through the skill levels. Each level you raise unlocks new weapons, and you can pick and choose which ones work best for you. The starting guns are not brilliant, but you soon get to pick your own guns and add extras like Grenade Launchers and Red Dot Sights. There are many things you can add to your guns to help you aim better at your enemy, and you can even be a sniper should you wish to be.
The perks are a great help, and these get unlocked as you go as well. You can get things like extra bullet penetration, higher amounts of ammo and UAV free, so that scanners and radars can not see you on the ground. There are many to choose from, and you can have three different ones at any one time. I tend to stick with the same three now, as I have worked out what is good for me to use.
But wait, there's more!! You also get killstreak rewards! Which ones you get are chosen by you when you set up your weapons and perks, and you can chose from things like Radar Planes (UAV), Helicopters, Air Strikes and Sentry Guns. When you get the predetermined amount of kills in one go (without dying) then you get your kill streak reward ready to use. These can be a great help in games.
On the top corner of the screen when playing online, (unless in hardcore modes) you will have a Mini Map, which shows you where you are in relation to the map, where the rest of your team is (this is displayed with green arrows) and if you have a UAV, your enemies will show up as orange dots. Even without the UAV you can see where the enemy is positioned when they shoot, as this will also show them up as an orange dot, but only if their weapon does not have a silencer attached. Some enemies may not show up on the mini map with a UAV as they may have the perk that prevents them from being seen by UAVs.
When you kill an enemy their name comes up at the bottom of the screen, so you know who has killed you. When you get killed, the enemy's name comes up so you can see who has killed you. There is also a small feed on the bottom left hand of the screen, which is a constant stream of who has killed who through out the game. This can be quite helpful in knowing when an enemy you were after has been killed.
If you have the correct weapon (usually a Stinger Launcher) you can usually shoot down enemy Helicopters, UAVs and Airplanes. This is something I have found myself to be quite good at, and is a great help in winning a game as you take out the other teams advantages.
Personally, I can see why this game caused such a massive influx of people playing it. It really is fun, and very addictive. I have even made some friends from this game, as you can chat to other players if you have a headset (or use Kinect as a microphone!) You do of course need to have online connectivity to be able to play this online, which can be done wirelessly from an extra bit of equipment for the Xbox 360 or wired through an ethernet cable. You also need to have an Xbox Live Gold Membership to be able to play Modern Warfare online, and this costs £15 for a 3 month membership, or £40 for a 12 month membership.
I have spent many an hour playing this game, as has my partner and while it can be angering, it is a lot of fun to play and even though we now have the next load of games that have been released since this one, we still go back to the original Modern Warfare from time to time, as a way to have a different way of playing, and also for the nostalgia value of it all.
The graphics and sound on this game are amazing, and I was really impressed with how sharp the colours are, the different sounds are quite realistic, the voices are great and the detail that has gone into this game is just outstanding. There is graffitti on walls, you can see the cracks in some bricks, seperate blades of grass - it really is amazing, and if you have an HD TV, you will really appreciate just how well made and detailed Modern Warfare really is.
The game is truly not suitable for younger players though, as it does contain a lot of blood and violence. It is rated and I do agree with this age rating. Unfortunatley, not many people seem to agree with me, as a lot of young kids are playing online on Modern Warfare. I really do not think that this is a game for younger ones to see, as there are some gross and unsettling scenes, especially in the main story mode of the game.
Modern Warfare is still available to buy in most stores like Game and Gamestation, second hand for a good price and it is still available on Amazon for £29.99. The price has not come down much since it was released, which does surprise me a little bit. If you can get hold of a decent, second hand copy, then I recommend doing so.
I totally recommend this game to anyone over 18, but not if you can not handle scenes of violence and bloodshed, as this game may not be the best for you! I love this game, and I am sure I will continue to play it as long as there is others online to play against! I give this game a 5 out of 5 stars.

court's order for visitation of child(s) to other parent should the first step when parents start fighting cases
First cause of action of any court should be to strictly order & ensure facilitation for visitation of child(s) to the other parent when both parents start fighting cases against each other, otherwise well being and overall development of child(s) will be affected, this initiative should have been taken by child welfare societies. This should be applicable in both cases when child(s) is residing with mother or with father as the first step towards the child welfare for developing healthy relations between parents and children. Whenever there is dispute between two parents most severely affected is the child(s) who is innocent and knows nothing about what is going on in between his/her parents why they are fighting these court cases i.e. Domestic Violence, 498a, 125 CRPC, 488RPC, Divorce, Maintenance pendalite or Child custody/ visitation. These above mentioned cases are going to ruin that family overall but since child is in developing stage he should be given normal treatment and allowed by court to meet the other parent so that he/she can get affection from both the parents in a normal way irrespective of with which parent he/she is residing during tenure of these cases.

How to Pack to Backpack Europe
The idea of living out of one single backpack for weeks or months at a time is daunting when you are used to having a whole closet of clothes at your disposal. When packing for a backpacking trip through Europe, the most important thing to remember is that you're not going to Antarctica; they have inexpensive stores in most cities and towns where you can buy necessities. Instead of packing every item that you might possibly need -- such as three months worth of shampoo -- stick to the basic necessities. Your back will thank you.
Step 1
Get the right backpack for you. Pick up a convertible roller bag with zip-away backpack straps if you will primarily be traveling in cities where you can easily roll your bag, or use a smaller frame-less backpack with sternum and hip straps if you will be doing a fair amount of walking over uneven terrain or trekking with your bag, such as taking the trail between the villages of the Cinque Terre or biking the chateau in Tours.
Step 2
Purchase a large, internal-frame backpack if you can't live without five pairs of shoes, peanut butter to snack on -- they don't have it in Europe -- and souvenirs from every stop. Prepare to travel primarily by long-distance train in this case, because it will be difficult to bring such a large pack on regional buses and expensive to check it on small, regional European planes.
Step 3
Make a pile of all of the clothing you are thinking of packing. Get rid of all but one pair of longer shorts -- they are frowned upon in Europe and you won't be able to wear them into churches and some other tourist attractions. Pull out five to eight shirts, depending on the length of your trip, and choose a selection in dark colors for traveling. Not only will you blend in better with Europeans, but dark clothing dries faster and hides stains. Select one to three pairs of jeans, again depending on the length of the trip, and one pair of dark slacks or a skirt for going out in the evening.
Step 4
Keep your bulkiest clothing items -- jacket, sweater, heaviest jeans and boots or sneakers -- aside to wear on the plane. Layout all of your shirts flat, one on top of another in a pile, fold in half and roll them up into one neat roll. Do the same with your pants. Nestle the rolls in the bottom of you bag, with three to five pairs each underwear and socks tucked in around the edges.
Step 5
Round up the electronics you plan to bring -- camera and unlocked cell phone at a minimum -- and check the voltage information to see if they will work in Europe without a converter. These days, most items will be listed as 110-220, meaning they work at any voltage in that range. Pick up a plug converter at a travel store, and pack it with your chargers and necessary cords into a plastic bag on top of your clothes. Put non-liquid toiletries, such as your toothbrush and deodorant, in another plastic bag in this layer as well.
Step 6
Assemble one quart-sized plastic bag worth of liquid or gel toiletry items, less than 3 ml each, the maximum allowed in carry-on bags for transatlantic and internal European flights. Pack shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and toothpaste and contact solution or shaving cream if necessary. Buy larger containers of toiletries in a grocery store when you get to Europe, because the hard water in Europe doesn't work well with American shampoo and shower gel.
Step 7
Slide a pair of sandals for wearing in the shower or around your hostel upright into the side or front of your backpack. Add your folded up day pack, guidebook, travel wallet and liquid toiletries to the top of your backpack. Hook a TSA-approved luggage lock into the zipper pull and keep the key in a pocket or in your wallet.

The Tri-City Healthcare District has asked the employer of a Carlsbad attorney to investigate his conduct, arguing that his legal demand that the public hospital agency allow two of its board members to attend closed-session meetings is unethical.
Attorney Leon Page sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tri-City on Oct. 15, saying the agency is disenfranchising him by excluding board members Kathleen Sterling and Randy Horton, who represent him. Page sent the letter as a private citizen in Carlsbad, although he is employed as a deputy county counsel in Orange County.
In response, the district sent a three-page letter on Wednesday to Bill Campbell, chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The letter is signed by Hospital CEO Larry Anderson and Board Chairwoman RoseMarie Reno.
"We are concerned that Mr. Page's actions may constitute unethical conduct... because he is pursuing legal arguments, that are, or may be, adverse to the county's own legal interests," the letter says.
Page is the activist who successfully sued MiraCosta College to reverse a $1.6 million settlement it gave to its former president. He has given Tri-City until Oct. 28 to reverse its course or he will file a lawsuit against the district.
The district has been excluding Horton and Sterling since April from closed session meetings, where issues such as the strategic direction of the healthcare agency and the compensation of its CEO are discussed.
The legal justification for the exclusion was questioned in a story by The Watchdog on Oct. 6. District officials declined to discuss their grounds to exclude, as it was discussed in a closed meeting.
Page is arguing that the voters, not the healthcare district, have the authority to remove elected members from board meetings.
Board colleagues say Sterling is disruptive and hostile to agency staff and Horton leaked information from a closed session meeting.
The district in its missive criticizes Page for not investigating what they believe are the facts of the Sterling and Horton issues prior to issuing his demand.
"Mr. Page only need watch or attend any District Board meeting to conclude that the censured Board members are disrupting District meetings and making wildly false and defamatory allegations," the letter says. "It is very disconcerting that a public-agency-employed attorney is repeating such defamatory
allegations without adequate investigation of the facts. Public agency attorneys should be held to a higher standard than other members of the bar. It is their duty to seek and do justice."
Page said earlier this week that he pursues his activist activities on his own time. He dismissed the district's claims as "bully tactics."
"This is a hobby of mine, and has absolutely no connection to my day job," Page said.
The healthcare district is a public agency that provides hospital services to residents of Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

All Three Major Networks Fight For Rights to Air the "CMA Music Awards"
If anyone ever teases you about your love of country music, tell them to suck on this. All three major TV networks are battling their little Brooks Brothers suits off for the rights to air the "CMA Music Awards".
Like always, it's all about the numbers. The CMAs average around 17-million viewers. That's similar to the Golden Globes… but HIGHER than the "American Music Awards".
The CMAs always do really well with the younger viewers, and that's the real prize.
According to NewYorkMagazine.com, ABC, which has aired the show for the past five years, was all set to renew their commitment, but then CBS, who had the show for 34 years before that, decided they wanted it back.
And then both of them were blindsided when NBC came out of nowhere with an open checkbook. CMA officials are supposedly weighing all the offers and will sign a long-term deal, with someone, later this month.
(This year's CMAs are scheduled to air November 9th on ABC. I can't imagine the results of this deal will change that.)

Maybe take a break from the game rather than spoil it if you're getting bored? Because otherwise you're missing out.
Conversely, I haven't really been incentivised to purchase any of these Skyrim DLC yet. Just not enough quality content or roleplaying meatiness for me to really warrant it yet. Sorry to say this one doesn't do much for me either.

SCAA Relocates Main Headquarters
For the past ten years the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) has occupied waterfront offices in downtown Long Beach, California. This space has served us well, albeit at a not inconsiderable cost. Over the past four years the association management has begun to promote two new concepts around how and where we work. The first of these was the adoption of new tools for remote work environments, including VOIP phone systems, increased Video Conference capability and greater use of IM and e-mail services. This allowed us to hire the right people for the job regardless of where they preferred to live. The second was driven by an assessment of how members access and use our headquarters space. In the last few years members have used the SCAA space primarily for lab based training and for meetings. Members also gave us feedback on how they would like to interact with the SCAA, and the overwhelming response was "locally". That is, members told us clearly that the wanted to see SCAA events, training, and community building near them. To that end, we have committed to changing how and where we are physically located.
As of this writing, now that our lease term is up, SCAA will no longer occupy the nearly 11,000 square feet of prime ocean front space we have leased for the past ten years. Instead, we will reduce our footprint at our headquarters in Southern California by half, and our costs by the same or more. At the same time, we will be embarking on a program to develop a series of regional offices, bringing a consistent SCAA presence to many more parts of the country. Our first planned expansion will be into the Pacific Northwest, but over the next few years we will also be looking for suitable space in the Northeast, the Southeast and the Midwest. Our goal is to dramatically increase our regional presence and to provide a greater level of accessibility for members.

The Disturbing Aspect of Arab Democracy
The "Bush Doctrine" to advance democracy in the Arab world has kindled an incisive argument among our neighbors and in distant America, but it draws scant attention here in Israel, an unfortunate situation.
The "Bush Doctrine" to advance democracy in the Arab world has kindled an incisive argument among our neighbors and in distant America, but it draws scant attention here in Israel, an unfortunate situation.
Any change in Arab regimes will impact Israel enormously. In Jerusalem, however, this is being ignored, with the concept being treated as if it were merely a naive American fantasy. Israel's leaders are convinced the Arabs are not sufficiently developed to adopt a Western-style government, preferring the existing dictatorships, which are perceived as anchors of stability and security.
Israel has contrasting interests: On one hand, democratic neighbors will be less threatening and will reduce the danger of war; on the other hand, Israel will lose its unique character in the region. The "shared values" that tie it to America will belong to other countries, as well.
Many Israelis fear that if the Arabs are given the freedom to choose, they will elect extreme Islamists to power. But the real challenge posed by an Arab democracy will be its continued striving against the legitimacy of a Jewish state.
A very ominous sign for the future can be found in the Report on Arab Human Development, the third in a series authored by a group of intellectuals from Arab countries under the sponsorship of the United Nations Development Program. The two previous reports won accolades in the West because of the self-criticism they exhibited, and because they came out against the degeneration and weakness of the Arab regimes, calling for more openness and political freedom. The new report repeats the old claims and places considerable blame on Israel and the United States as obstacles to regional development. The publication of the report was delayed for two months due to American pressure to change some of the contents.
Israel is mentioned in the report 162 times, almost all negatively. "Israel's wrongs" are detailed one by one: "Violation of the human rights" of the Palestinians in actions such as the "assassination of leaders and cadres of resistance"; the killing of civilians; the demolition of homes; the construction of the fence; the establishment of the settlements; the disregard for UN resolutions, thanks to the American veto in the Security Council. The previous Knesset speaker, Avraham Burg, is mentioned in the report because of his comments regarding the impending collapse of Israeli society. Palestinian terror does not appear at all in the report, with the exception of the hypocritical mention of "victims on both sides, but unproportionally."
The authors do not make do with condemning the occupation of 1967, but also criticize the very establishment of the State of Israel "on Palestinian land" and demand the realization of the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees. World opinion has called for minimizing the "harmful influence" of Israeli-American ties. In a survey of the ways to advance the region, there was considerable support for the establishment of a "democratic state of Palestine" - or, in other words, the destruction of Israel. There are no proposals in the report regarding how to integrate Israel into the region and cooperate with it.
The administrator of the UN Development Program, Mark Malloch Brown, describes the document as "an authentic reflection of the view of many thoughtful, reform-minded intellectuals in the Arab region." This is a group that will carry the political change and democratization on its shoulders.
For Israel, this is very worrying news. The denial of Israel's right to exist is rooted very deeply in the Arab political culture, and an enormous change will be needed to uproot it and develop new relations. The evacuation of Gaza, and perhaps a future withdrawal to the fence line on the West Bank, will not be sufficient.
The Foreign Ministry said of the report: "The Arab scorpion has once again stung itself." This criticism is on the mark, but the problem goes beyond the diplomatic sparring. Israel's cumbersome efforts to court the existing regimes in the Arab region are not enough. A far-reaching soul-searching is necessary on the question of how Israel will be affected by political reforms in the region and what it must do to become part of the process, rather than be perceived as an enemy of change.

We'd like to say we saw it coming, but when it comes to predicting the rise of budding professional surfers, you can never be too sure. For the past year, the collective eyes and ears at SURFER have been tuned to the southern hemisphere, honing in on what we believe is one of the most talented and relatively unknown young surfers in the business today: 19-year-old Jadson Andre from Brazil. After watching Andre dismantle some big wigs in the Pro Junior circuit over the course of the past few seasons, we found ourselves morphed into true believers and awarding him a top 10 position in our 2009 Hot 100, moving him from relative obscurity directly into the industry's spotlight.
Recently, at the 6-star Quiksilver Pro in Durban, South Africa, Andre vindicated our bold predictions by dominating the rest of the field, bringing home his first WQS win—along with 3,500 points and $20,000—over Australia's Owen Wright in playful four-foot conditions.
"I'm really happy to have won this event," said Andre after dousing the crowd with champagne, "and I'd just like to thank all my friends and everyone who was on the beach today supporting me. When I was out in the water I just concentrated on surfing as well as I could and I am really happy to have won such a prestigious event."
It was the second time that Andre and Wilson had surfed against one another in a final, with each surfer now holding a win over the other.
"I've had a great time here in Durban," said Wright after the event, "and I'm super stoked to have made the final. This is the second final I've surfed against Jadson, so I guess now it's one all buddy!"
Although it's still early in the 'QS season, Andre's win at Durban catapulted him into the number-two slot in the rankings, a mere 13 points shy of Owen Wright, who is holding firm at number one.
Last year, Andre very nearly qualified for the 'CT, landing himself a spot in the mid-30s, falling just short of a role in the Big Leagues. With a few big results already under his belt this season, this year he looks stronger than ever for World Tour qualification.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, is function overload legal in C as it is in JAVA?
In JAVA, you can have two functions (or methods) with the same name but different argument lists and the compiler would recognize which function to call based on the call.
For example:
In the above code, the compiler would automatically call the first talk method because of the different argument lists.Code:public class blah { public static void main (String args[]) { ... talk("My name is BOB LOBLAW", 3); } void talk (String s, int t) { ... } void talk (String s) { ... } }

RF Absorber
DJM Electronics sells three classes of absorbers:
Ferrite Tile Absorber
Principle of Operation:
Based on the principle of having complex magnetic permeability equal (or nearly equal) to complex dielectric constant. Materials with this property exhibit an impedance equal to that of "free space" and therefore do not reflect radiated energy at normal incidence.
Ferrite tile can provide 10dB - 25dB of absorption between 30MHz and 1GHz. Tiles are thin (approximately 0.26 inches), but can be heavy (roughly 10 lbs per square foot).
Broadband Foam Absorbers
Principle of Operation:
Broadband foam absorbers are based on the principle of tapered impedance. By steadily increasing the impedance from that of "free space" at the incident surface of the absorber to a high impedance, lossy material at the rear surface, energy is progressively absorbed and attenuated through ohmic loss as it propagates through the absorber.
Broadband absorbers are classified based on the two primary means of manufacturing:
Pyramidal Absorbers: The absorber material is cut in a pyramidal or geometrically tapering shape simulating a continuous change in dielectric constant.
Flat Absorbers: Layers of homogenous materials with different dielectric constants are stacked so that the final assembly has an increasing impedance (which is stepped instead of continuously varying).
Pyramidal absorber performance is directly related to size - low frequency performance requires larger pyramids. For instance, 96 inch absorber provides 35dB absorption at 125MHz increasing to 50dB at 13GHz, while 4 inch absorber provides little absorption below 1GHz, but offers the same 50dB at 13GHz. Pyramidal absorber is relatively inexpensive, but is confined to higher frequencies because of this size trade-off.
Flat absorber provides approximately 20dB of absorption over the design range, which is dependent on thickness: 0.25 inch absorber works from 18GHz up while 9.0 inch absorber works from 400MHz up. Although the flat-faced design makes this absorber flexible, lightweight and inexpensive, performance is limited to 20dB because of the higher front-face reflections.
Broadband foam absorbers can be made with "open-cell" materials (typically polyurethane) or "closed-cell" materials (like polystyrene or polyethylene). Each method has its benefits.
Hybrid Absorbers
Principle of Operation:
By matching the impedance of the foam absorber with the ferrite, hybrid absorbers can combine the low frequency advantages of ferrite tile and the high frequency performance of broadband foam absorber.
Hybrid absorbers provide excellent performance from 20MHz to 40GHz
Hybrid absorbers can be made with "open-cell" materials (typically polyurethane) or "closed-cell" materials (like polystyrene or polyethylene). Each method has its benefits.
Ferrite Tile Absorber
Product Detail
Ferrite tile absorber provides high absorptive performance in the low frequencies from 26MHz to 1GHz. Compared to foam absorbers that cover this frequency range, ferrite tile offers the best price for performance in a small, compact package. Tiles come in sizes as large as 200mm x 200mm, and as small as 60mm x 60mm, but 100mm x 100mm (approximately 4" x 4") tiles are the industry standard. Tile thickness can vary from 3.9mm to 19mm, with the most common thicknesses being 6.5mm and 6.7mm. These thicknesses are ideally suited for chambers designed for IEC 1000-4-3 radiated immunity testing. In addition to size and thickness, another important quality of ferrite tiles is the tolerance with which the tiles are machined. Studies have shown that maximum low-frequency performance is obtained when tile to tile gaps are minimized. Standard tiles provided by DJM Electronics are precisely machined to ± 0.10mm to ensure a tight tile-to-tile fit for easier installation with less cutting required. In addition, DJM Electronics can provide tiles pre-mounted on a dielectric backer board in various sizes and configurations.
Ferrite Panels
Ferrite tiles can be installed individually using screws or adhesive, but normally, the tiles are mounted on a dielectric spacer before being attached to the walls of the shielded enclosure. DJM Electronics can provide tiles pre-mounted on a dielectric backer board in various sizes and configurations. Each tile is permanently mounted on a dielectric composed of medium density particle board using a high strength polyurethane adhesive. In addition to speeding installation, the dielectric separates the ferrite from the shield wall by at least 12mm thereby maximizing the higher frequency performance of the ferrite.
Cutting Ferrite Tiles
With nearly twice the density of granite, it is conservative to say that cutting ferrite is a bitch. Straight cuts can be achieved using polycrystalline diamond blades and adequate cooling to prevent stress cracking and chipping. Curved cuts, however, can only be achieved with advanced industrial techniques. DJM Electronics has the facilities and equipment necessary to satisfy most cutting requirements.
Ferrite Safety Nets
A safety net for chambers with ferrite tiles on the ceiling is recommended as a low cost safety precaution. At approximately 1lbs in weight, a falling ferrite tile can be potentially dangerous.
General Information About Ferrite
Ferrite is a class of ceramic material with a cubic crystalline structure and the chemical formula MOFe
where Fe
is iron oxide and MO refers to a combination of two or more divalent metal oxides. The different metal oxides create ferrites that exhibit different magnetic and absorptive properties. There are basically two varieties of ferrite: soft and hard. "Soft ferrite" derives its name because it does not retain significant magnetization whereas "hard ferrite" is used for permanent magnets. Ferrite tile absorber is made of the "soft" variety (usually zinc, nickel, manganese or copper oxides).
Ferrite tiles are pressed from a powdered precursor and then sintered (fired) in a kiln where they becomes rigid and brittle like other ceramics. The mechanical and electromagnetic properties of the ferrite are heavily affected by the mixture of the different ferrites and the sintering process itself. In addition, ferrite shrinks as much as 10% to 17% in each dimension when sintered. Maintaining correct dimensional tolerances as well as the prevention of cracking and warping related to this shrinkage are fundamental challenges of the manufacturing process.

Broadband Foam Absorber
Broadband Pyramidal Absorber
AEP Series
The broadband pyramidal absorber is manufactured in two basic geometries depending upon size and performance requirements: conventional pyramid and "twisted 45."
The AEP-4 through AEP-48 absorbing materials are based upon a conventional pyramid having a square base and tapering to a point.
The AEP-72 through AEP-96 absorbing materials utilize a unique "twisted 45" geometry with the peak twisted 45 degrees from the base. This unique feature increases wide angle performance, reduces the mismatch at the base transition, and provides additional mechanical support to the peak. This product configuration is also available in 36" and 48" sizes upon request.
The standard material base size is 2' x 2'.
Broadband Wedge Absorber
AEW Series
Broadband wedge absorbers match the anechoic performance of pyramidal absorbers with the exception that, due to the inherent shape of the wedge, they are polarization sensitive. This design is used to direct energy down a given path so that it may be efficiently absorbed by large, high performance materials which compose the chamber's termination.
The broadband wedge materials have been used successfully in the design of tapered chambers as well as facilities which must have low wall reflections
Standard material size is 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' depending upon the application.
Low Frequency Absorber
AEP-EM Series
Shielded rooms are notorious for producing multiple reflections and resonances at frequencies from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. In situations where ferrite absorber cannot be used or is cost-prohibitive, specially designed foam absorbing material can be utilized to increase the repeatability of tests performed within a shielded room.
Absorber performance typically drops off very rapidly as the material becomes less than one quarter wavelength in thickness. Due to the extremely long wavelength at 30 MHz, conventional pyramidal absorbing materials would normally need to be extremely thick. In order to minimize this roll off and improve the overall loss characteristics, AEMI has developed low frequency absorber using special materials and manufacturing techniques
The EM series of absorbers is comprised of a pyramidal front material specially loaded to match successive layers of graded dielectric sheets. After the energy has entered the material through the pyramidal front, it is progressively passed on to the higher and higher dielectrically loaded sheets which enhance the energy dissipation characteristics of the absorber. It is through this gradual change in dissipation that high loss at low frequencies can be achieved.
This graded design also improves the wide angle performance of these products when compared with "conventional" pyramidal materials. Typical performance increases at normal incidence are 3-6 dB and 6-10 dB at wide angles.
Another feature of this series of materials is its ability to be stacked on top of one another. This allows the engineer to provide a temporary wall of absorptive material for the elimination of hot spots within a shielded facility. This mobility also gives the engineer the freedom to alter the test environment with movable walls of material whenever conditions and requirements change. Resonance of the shielded cavity can be altered at will through the proper placement of this series of absorbers.
Laminated Absorber
AEL Series
The AEL series absorbers are high performance multilayer, lightweight, flat, laminated absorbers. These products are made from open cell polyurethane foam layers which are specially impregnated and laminated with flexible adhesives and latex. Consequently, they are flexible and wrappable and may cut and bonded with contact adhesive for a strong, permanent bond. The absorber should be backed by a reflective surface, and can be supplied with a conductive backing if required.
Broadband Convoluted Absorber
AEC Series
The Broadband Convoluted absorbers are manufactured from a lightweight urethane foam impregnated with a dielectric material. The front surface is rippled to provide a good match to the impinging wavefront. The geometry in conjunction with the proper loading provides a material with excellent attenuation properties.
The convoluted design, when properly loaded, has proven to exhibit exceptional absorption characteristics in the millimeter range, especially at wide angles of incidence. The convoluted material has properties especially desirable for applications requiring high reflectivity performance in conjunction with low forward scattering characteristics for use in RCS chambers in the millimeter wave region.
All AEC materials offered are NRL fire retardant versions.
Millimeter Absorber
AEC-MM Series
As the wavelengths of the room's operation frequencies become very short, the cell structure of the foam begins to have an effect on the absorber performance. This is especially true of materials used in radar cross section applications. It is necessary that the foam be "windowless" - the cell structure must be homogenous and open throughout the entire front face of the absorber or the reflections from the irregular geometry will limit the amount of energy that will propagate into the absorbing medium. AEMI has developed a series of materials specifically for millimeter wave use.
Versions Available:
Type AEC-4-MM is the standard material optimized for millimeter wave operation. By proper selection of the carbon loading, reflectivities on the order of 45 to 50 dB have been attained consistently at normal incidence over the 18 to 40 GHz frequency range.
Type AEC-4/1-MM-HP is a high performance material using a convoluted front face foam which has a very regular cell structure and is essentially window free. By properly selecting the carbon loading, reflectivities on the order of 50 to 55 dB have been attained consistently at normal incidence at 95 GHz. The material has a second layer which is necessary to provide the low frequency performance of -40 dB at 28 GHz. Good performance down to 10 GHz is achievable by properly adjusting the backing material.
Type AEC-4/5-8T-MM is a high performance material for use in long narrow chambers where the energy illuminating the side walls is arriving at about 10-25° grazing angles. This material is designed to provide about -35dB forward scatter loss at those angles from 18-40 GHz. The units must be installed back to back in pairs to achieve the specified performance.
Type AEC-4/6 12T-MM is the same as Type AEC-4/5-MM, but optimized for lower frequency operation.

Specialty Broadband Foam Absorber
Vent And Medium Power Absorber
AEP-XX-V Series
The vent and medium power absorbers are manufactured using special reticulated foam which has a large, open cell structure. This allows air to move freely through the material, making these products ideal for HVAC vents or outdoor applications where passage of air is necessary.
The open cell characteristics of this absorber also increases its ability to dissipate the heat generated by the absorption process. When the material is used as a medium power absorber, it can safely dissipate 1 W/in2 CW with standard convection cooling. For higher power dissipation, forced cooling can be used.
The standard material size is 2' x 2'.
Weatherproof Absorber
WP Series
The weatherproof versions of the AEP and AEW series of broadband absorbers offer similar performance to the standard AEP and AEW absorbers, but are manufactured from weather-resistant foam (Type 1) or covered with rubberized cloth (Type 2). The choice of weatherizing method depends on the severity of the environment and the life expectancy requirement of the absorber.
The Type 1 materials are based upon the standard vent series of absorbers. These are constructed from a reticulated foam, which allows water to flow freely through the material and not become trapped in the product. These absorbers air dry quickly and are best used in an environment where thunderstorms and brief showers may occur spontaneously. The life expectancy of this material is 9 to 12 months.
The Type 2 material is manufactured from standard foam absorbers with a manufacturing method similar to our Walkway Series of absorbers and is significantly more robust. A standard pyramidal foam absorber is mated with a non-absorbing, low loss front wedge producing a rectangular shape. The absorber "block" is then covered with a rubberized cloth material and sealed. These materials can withstand UV and very harsh weather conditions and have a life span of 1 to 5 years depending on the local environmental conditions. Storing the materials in a covered area when not in use can increase the life expectancy.
Standard material size is 2' x 2'
Broadband Walkway Absorber
AEWW Series
The broadband walkway absorber is manufactured by placing a selfextinguishing polystyrene core in an interlocking pattern over the top of standard AEP type material. This structure is topped with a higher density polystyrene laminate that provides excellent load bearing and wear characteristics that exceed most competitive products. The top surface can be provided in white or black. White is the suggested choice in order to provide contrast with the surrounding absorbers. Custom sizes and shapes can also be provided.
Absorbing Wall Module
AEWM Series
When radiated measurements are conducted within a shielded room, it is common to encounter various resonant modes and multimoding depending on the size of the room, the operating wavelength, and the geometrical relationship of the antennas within the room. In order to reduce this effect, we have developed the Absorbing Wall Module, which can be easily moved and repositioned within the cavity to absorb interfering signals on a selective basis.
Wall modules can be designed using any of the AEP or AEW products. They are constructed by applying absorber materials to 24 gauge sheet metal. This permits increased efficiency in absorbing characteristics and also allows the user to shield the test environment from personnel or equipment behind the wall modules. However, the module can also be ordered without the metal backing for customers who prefer not to have any additional reflecting surfaces inside the enclosure.
The Wall Modules are shipped in a semi-assembled stage in order to protect the absorbers. The simple instructions and hardware provided facilitate fast and easy assembly.

Hybrid Absorbers
Hybrid Absorbers
HyPyr-Loss Series
Ferrite absorbers offer good performance from 30 MHz to 600 MHz, while traditional dielectric foam absorbers deliver performance satisfaction above 500 MHz. The combination of these individual materials can yield unpredictable results if the selected materials have mismatched impedance characteristics. However, with proper impedance matching, these two materials can be joined to create a hybrid absorber structure that benefits from the inherent performance characteristics of each of the individual materials.
The new HyPyr-Loss series of EMC Absorbers incorporates a tuned ferrite absorber with a precision matched urethane pyramidal absorber structure that delivers super-broadband reflectivity performance from 20 MHz to 20 GHz!
All HyPyr-Loss absorbers are flame resistant and fire retardant. All absorbers are tested in accordance with NRL Specification 8093, Tests 1, 2, and 3.

Polyurethane Broadband Absorber Construction
Manufacturing Process
The manufacture of polyurethane pyramidal absorber follows a precise process:
Foam Cutting
A computer controlled contour cutting saw, controlled by an ORBIT/FR control mechanism, cuts the raw foam into specific shapes and designs.
Foam Impregnation
AEMI utilizes a proprietary eight-roll impregnation machine that allows for the most uniform impregnation and lossy dielectric distribution in the industry. During a recent EMC chamber project an independent consultant was hired to survey all absorber manufacturers to determine which manufacturer produced the most consistent materials. AEMI's materials were shown to have the most consistent distribution throughout the absorber and were subsequently awarded the project. It is with this special impregnator that AEMI is able to achieve the desired distribution of the lossy materials within the foam matrix.
Drying Oven
In the new facility AEMI has installed a custom designed Halogen Tunnel Oven specifically designed to dry the absorbing materials. The new dryer has three independently controlled heat zones as well as a variable speed conveyer system. This allows for complete control of the drying process. Once the material is placed on the conveyer it takes from 17 minutes to 42 minutes to dry the product. The drying time varies with the size and weight of the individual materials being processed.
Assembly Station
Many of the specialty absorbers manufactured by AEMI are assembled using multiple layers or materials. Each of the necessary components goes through the manufacturing process outlined above before being joined together with special adhesives.
Quality Assurance
AEMI checks 100% of all material manufactured for DJM projects for electrical performance and a sample for mechanical properties. Electrical performance tests are conducted using an "Arch" test facility at 1-18 GHz. Mechanical properties are checked for compliance with the stated dimension specifications plus or minus 1/4" for height and plus or minus 1/8" for length and width.
There are many ways in which to accomplish the placement of anechoic materials on the chamber wall surfaces. It is common to treat the corners of an anechoic chamber with little or no material to simplify installation. However, this is inadvisable due to the possibility of reflections originating from these "bald spots." To eliminate this possibility, AEMI incorporates a "picture frame design" for corner treatment. The "picture frame" design treats the perimeter of the chamber surface junctions with specially designed 3" to 4" thick flat absorber material that extends the full length of the pyramidal absorber along the wall surface. AEMI's "picture frame" approach allows for the edges of the chamber to be shadowed and is the most efficient method of "loading" the edges to eliminate corner reflection interactions.
The Hybrid Pyramidal Absorber configuration for fully engineered chambers are specifically designed to the customer's specifications utilizing sophisticated computer analysis and ray tracing techniques. All materials are then manufactured in strict accordance with mathematical formulas generated from this analysis and design. During the manufacturing process, sample lots are tested regularly for 100% compliance with the specific dielectric loading formulas derived for the customer's application.
All materials are provided in "kit form" for installation by DJM Electronics at the customer location. Materials for corners and wall intersections will be pre-cut at the AEMI factory in order to simplify installation and maintain the integrity of the absorber layout. The absorber materials will then be mounted to the ferrite tile panels with a contact adhesive specially formulated to insure proper attachment.
Advanced ElectroMagnetics, Inc. products are guaranteed to retain the specified RF and electrical characteristics for a period of two (2) years for listed anechoic performance levels. The guarantee period will begin on the date of final acceptance of materials and does not cover any damages due to customer misuse, modifications, or neglect.
Polyurethane Safety
AEMI's hybrid pyramidal absorber is made from homogeneously impregnated polyurethane foam using a proprietary single step impregnation process that locks in both the conductive carbon and fire retardant chemicals. As a result, AEMI's absorber does not display the unsightly migration of fire retardant chemicals to the surface of the absorber when exposed to damp and highly humid weather. Another benefit of AEMI's unique impregnation process is the uniform distribution of the conductive materials into the foam, leading to uniformly consistent electrical performance.
All AEMI absorbers are fire retardant and self-extinguishing. These absorbers have been extensively tested and is certified to meet the requirements of NRL Fire Test Standard 8093, Parts 1, 2, and 3.
NRL Test 1, 2, and 3 are conducted as follows:
NRL TEST 1 - Resistance to Electrical Stress
Electrodes are inserted into the absorber unprotected by painted surfaces. A 240-volt, 8-amp current is applied for 60 seconds in an attempt to initiate combustion. To pass the test, the absorber sample must retain 80% of its initial weight and fully extinguish (no visible flame, smoke, or smoldering) within 60 seconds after power is turned off
NRL TEST 2 - Ease of Ignition and Flame Propagation
Test 2 is also conducted on samples consisting unprotected by painted surfaces. The samples must self-extinguish following a 30-second exposure to flame from a Bunsen burner.
NRL TEST 3 - Modified Smoldering Test
Test 3 is the only recognized test to evaluate solid phase combustion. A cartridge heater is inserted the absorber and heated to 600ºC (1,112ºF). This temperature is maintained for five minutes to initiate solid phase combustion. The heater is then removed, and the material must self-extinguish within 30 minutes.
In addition to Navy's harsh tests, AEMI absorber also meets TI #2693066 and MIT MS-8-21. AEMI standard manufacturing processes and quality assurance practices include sample inspections to the above referenced standards.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- With five minutes left Wednesday night, The Statement Win was in play.
San Diego State, which led Arizona at halftime by five, only to fall down by seven in the second half, had fought its way back.
When D.J. Gay made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 54 with 5:17 left, he gave SDSU its most realistic shot all night of knocking off a thin Arizona team.
But the Wildcats surged on a 15-2 run to end the game, snapping the Aztecs' six-game winning streak with a 69-56 victory at McKale Center.
Coach Steve Fisher called the end-of-game slump "a combination of missed shots and turnovers sprinkled with a breakdown in dribble penetration," magnified by the fact that Arizona "had good players."
Add a dash of poor shooting -- leading scorer Kyle Spain made only 2-of-15 shots -- and the Aztecs (7-2) found the wrong formula.
"It would have been a statement win, beating Arizona at Arizona," Spain said.
"Any time you win on the road, it's a great win. But unfortunately, we lost."
After the game was tied at 54, the Wildcats made four straight free throws, followed by a dunk and three more made free throws, and then a layup and a dunk.
San Diego State's lone points during that stretch came on two Gay free throws.
"They had some real big tip dunks," said forward Tim Shelton, who finished with 13 points. "We were trying to keep the crowd out of the game, but those dunks just killed us and allowed the crowd to stay in it."
For the first time this season, the Aztecs did it with their best player on the floor.
Forward Lorrenzo Wade did not start, but played 22 minutes in his first game of the season. He finished with 11 points.
Wade had been suspended indefinitely after being accused of stealing a television Sept. 21. The Aztecs' leading scorer last year missed the team's first eight games.
On Dec. 4, a San Diego Superior Court judge dismissed his felony burglary case, saying Wade did not have criminal intent in helping to steal the television.
Fisher had hoped to play him less -- though Wade was not on the floor during most of the team's struggles at the end.
"I played him more minutes than I thought I was going play him, probably wanted to play him," he said. "I thought he did a good job."
The Wildcats (6-2) were paced by their trio of forwards Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill and point guard Nic Wise, who combined to score 32 of the first 34 points of the game.
The 6-foot-10 Hill led his team with 25 points and 14 rebounds.
"You have to do a better job of keeping them from getting the ball inside," Fisher said.
Budinger, a La Costa Canyon High graduate, made only 3-of-10 shots in the first half and 6-of-15 on the game. He finished with 14 points.
The junior swingman entered Wednesday's game averaging 20.1 points; he led Arizona in scoring in each of its first four games.
Forward Jamelle Horne, a San Diego High graduate, rattled off all eight of his points in the final 4:44.
But the Aztecs' wounds -- their 16 turnovers -- were self-inflicted.
"There were a handful of turnovers down the stretch that led to dunks and free throws," Fisher said. "And those kind of break your back."

SANTA FE {AP} Residents of the Pojoaque and Nambe area were asked Friday to be cautious of an injured bear in the area.
Trackers have searched for the bear since Wednesday when it was struck by a car.
The bear was spotted at dusk Thursday but authorities were unable to subdue it, Sgt. Leonard Romero of the Pojoaque tribal police said.
"It appears his rear hindquarters are injured in some way," he said.
The bear was hit on U.S. 84. Police say the car was almost totaled, but the driver and passenger had only minor injuries.
Romero said no one in the Pojoaque or Nambe area has reported seeing the injured bear, which is likely hiding near Pojoaque's golf course, near the northeast part of the pueblo boundaries.
"We do intend to catch him alive," Romero said. "We're hoping that we can. The unfortunate thing is he's probably hungry, because if he is injured, he can't operate to his full capacity, so he's probably not eating the way he should, so were assuming he's pretty upset by this time."
Romero urged people to use caution while the injured bear remains at large.
"We don't know what he's going to resort to, because they're really unpredictable," he said.

The wife and I took trip to Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma on Friday 1-7-11. We met my friend Hal up there. First thing we did was go eat at the buffet. On Fridays, Choctaw has all you can eat snow crab legs for $20.99. Present you players club card and they knock $6 off of the price!
After gorging ourselves at the buffet, we hit the casino floor to play the slots. My wife was playing a Zeus Slots machine. Hal and I headed out on our own to do a little slot machine hopping. We both struck out on Gems and Jewels and Crazy Bill's Gold Strike. Then we tried Star Spangled Sevens Slots and I hit $240 while Hal won somewhere around $200 as well.
Hal then wanted to go into the high limit area in the new part of the casino to play this Elvis King of Coin slot that they had just put in. When we got to it, there was some guy sitting in the chair and looked like he was not leaving soon. We left thru the other side of the high limit are and found an $1 Elvis King of Coin Slot right outside the entrance. We played for a little while and then Hal hit this:
A $630 win! Me? I managed to break even on my machine. We went back into the high limit area and the $2 Elvis machine was available. Hal sat down and tried to hit the big win. He rec'd a bunch of red screen spins, but no big winner. Eventually, ended up losing $300. We then tried Hot Red Ruby and Lucky Ducky. No luck with either one.
I then went back to check on my wife. She had switched to a Hearts of Venice slot machine. Right we I walked up she hit this:
A $512.50 win! We then cashed out and made the drive back to Dallas. Already looking forward to next Friday.

Cornerback Xavier Woods out of West Monroe, La. holds six offers. The three-star prospect has been to a couple of camps this summer and plans to hit two more as he looks to expand his options.
"I have about six offers from Houston, Southern Miss, Tulane, Arkansas State, Memphis and ULM," he said. "I went to Alabama and Oklahoma State for camps.
Woods shared a few thoughts about both camps.
Article Continues Below
"Alabama was great," he said. "I did great down there, I was all-second team, while at Oklahoma State I was the top corner at the camp."
Both schools spoke to Woods about a possibility of an offer.
"Alabama is probably not going to offer with the way the numbers are,"
he said. "Oklahoma State said they are only offering one more corner and they want to wait until all their evaluations are done."
With the possibility of Oklahoma State offering, Woods is intrigued by the potential of the Cowboys.
"It was great there," he said. "It was a great experience and I got to tour the facilities. The coaches were good."
Woods is still hoping to camp at Georgia Tech and LSU later this summer.

One of the movie moments that made the deepest impressions on me as a youngster/budding cinephile was the few minutes in Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors where Judah (Martin Landau) revisits a scene from his childhood, one that pricks his now-sullied conscience. Around the dinner table, his Jewish family -- father and mother and aunts and uncles and siblings and cousins, atheist and observant alike -- debate and defend their diverging, conflicting positions on some very serious stuff: morality, human nature, the existence of god, the meaning(lessness) of human existence, the validity of this or that philosophy as a guide to living life properly. Now, the movies may not be the best, most accurate place to form one's impression of a people or a culture, but that scene (along with a number of others from Allen's oeuvre) gave me a rampant case of Judaism envy, or at least drew me strongly to what I naively inferred, generalized, and exoticized that culture and religion to be. How glamorous and foreign, in my experience, did it seem, discussing the most profound and serious matters as a part of everyday familial interaction? Watching the Israeli writer/director Joseph Cedar's recent film Footnote, I was taken back to Judah's childhood dinner table and beyond, to what felt like a closer-to-the-source glimpse of that intense interest in the Word and/or the Law; the debate about whether and in precisely what ways it's valid; and the endless, impassioned, knowledgeable scrutiny and study and questioning and discussion, with its oft-accompanying, lacerating irony, that seem to me to tie together most of the invaluable Jewish/Jewish-American culture we have, whatever its many other diversities, from Paul Goodman to Mr. Allen to Philip Roth to Ari Folman to Saul Bellow to David Grossman to Noam Chomsky. It's not even that Cedars's swift, buoyant, light-feeling film shares much in the way of tone with Allen's starker, more obviously weighty picture, but that tonal difference belies what the two films do have in common in the way of moral and philosophical concerns; it makes its reverberations at once more stealthy and more surprising than the ones Allen's offered, but no less inescapable for that.
Cedar's deeply, ambivalently interlocked protagonists are, like Abraham and Isaac or Jacob and Joseph, father and son. What they share and what comes between them is less violent but perhaps no less deeply felt than their Biblical forebears: Both septuagenarian Eliezer Skolnick (Shlomo Bar-Aba) and his middle-aged son, Uriel (Lior Ashkenazi, Late Marriage) are presences in the venerated, insular academic world of Talmudic scholarship, a discipline devoted to the minutest details and the most stringent, strenuous debates over centuries of interpretation, reinterpretation, and commentary upon the Mosaic Law that, as tradition has it, goes all the way back to that important man's interaction on Mt. Sinai with the Man Upstairs. Despite his advanced age, Eliezer is still very agile and intent, shuffling rapidly, head down, to and from the National Library daily to continue his 40-years-and-counting studies. He's like clockwork, energetic and unfailingly consistent (all conveyed in few words and much physical characterization by the excellent Bar-Aba), and we'd never know, if the movie didn't digress into multiple flashbacks, voice-over explications, and mini character-introduction slideshows, that he'd once nearly tasted greatness via his painstaking reconstructions of a fragmented version of the Talmud, only to have those years of work swept away by a colleague's, Professor Grossman's (Micah Lewensohn), chancing upon a lost, complete version of the same text and receiving all the glory, neglecting to share any of it despite his full awareness of Eliezer's work. Now Grossman is a very high-up, authoritative figure while Eliezer shuffles his way to and from his obscure cubbyhole in the library stacks. The situation is compounded by the fact that Uriel is also much better-rewarded with prestige and popularity than his father has ever been, all of which, as Eliezer cannot avoid letting it be known, the elder Skolnick feels were gained through Uriel's cutting corners where he should have been severe and being nice to gain favor when he should have been ruthlessly honest, leading to appealing but worthless scholarship. A certain unremitting adherence to principle, without ever even the tiniest exception for any reason, is Eliezer's hard-and-fast definition of "integrity."
And it's their integrity, whatever their disparate definitions of the word, that is at stake for both Eliezer and Uriel because of the story's central, disastrous error, a clerical confusion that has led to Eliezer, as the film begins, being introduced by his son at an awards ceremony where the older gentleman is set to receive the prestigious Israel Prize for his Talmudic work. How did such a long-time loser -- 16 times nominated, never won, with his archrival, Professor Grossman, at the current head of the awards committee -- get to this point, and why does he look so miserable? The answer to both questions is that he has been named winner by mistake, the mistake has been willingly perpetuated by the real winner out of deference to Eliezer, and Eliezer, no dummy, has thought about it, looked into it, and become well aware that he is not the intended awardee. If this introductory honor and the strange behavior surrounding it -- Uriel's hyperbolic, oddly effusive public praise of his father, Eliezer's misery, Mrs. Skolnick's (Eliezer's wife's and Uriel's mother's) taciturn expression -- is the surface text of the film, Cedars makes all of its subsequent sequences into an experience for us that simulates the one this scholarly father and son must have routinely, that of digging through a text closely, looking between the lines for the hidden meaning, poring over the footnotes in search of the key that will unlock the story behind what an onscreen title pops us to tell us is "the most difficult day of Eliezer Skolnick's life." That title is just one of various techniques through which Cedar, cinematographer Yaron Schart, and editor Einat Glazer-Zarhin give the film its text-combing feel as we "read" these characters and research their conundrum and its implications: Certain sequences take the form of lists/outlines one might make when writing a paper, numbered and rapidly edited, with introductory titles like "A Few Things Worth Knowing About Eliezer Skolnick," in which the character's defining moments and motivations are compiled as evidence; others transform the frame to take the form of images and text flitting through a sort of microfiche projector like the one Elieizer must so often use (headphones on to block out any distracting sounds from the non-written world), with a zooming-in camera as our magnifying glass.
This bells-and-whistles style might at first seem jarring, even gimmicky, but as it turns out, it's the most thoughtful and apt use of such devices I've seen in a movie in quite a while; none of the increasingly deep, dark emotion of the film's revelations is lost, but it keeps us at enough of an amused distance to see all the absurd foibles, weaknesses, and blind spots in both Eliezer and Uriel and to maintain the film's comic-parable tone, as does Amit Poznansky's perfectly suited, mocking-fanfare score (which, in tandem with Schart's cinematography, becomes a supporting character unto itself and applies to the film's world of academia and intellectual honor some of the same half-satirical, heightened-reality treatment that was given to the game show milieu by Robert Elswit and Jon Brion in Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia). Whatever else is going on, Cedar never fails to exploit the comic potential of the film's painful situation, which ruthlessly lays bare the humorous disconnect between its characters' surface polite, dignified self-assurance and the murky, conflicted, at least partly shameful motivations the irreproachable-looking outward behavior is meant to banish or mask. At the same time, he seems effortlessly to bring out the pathos also inherent in that disconnect: such a carefully maintained self-image carries a cost to oneself and others when ironclad adherence to it is confronted with the compromised, messy real world and refuses to budge.
The difficult, dramatically rich questions that all this clever storytelling-as-textual-study-and-research are so sharply and intently dissecting (but never getting to the bottom of; the implication seems to be that there is no bottom, only an eternal, dialectical back and forth that's a necessary if unsatisfying end unto itself) are these: Does the unfairly overlooked, unfailingly principled and hardworking Eliezer deserve this grand prize, and, as a separate question integral to someone with such a strict view of Truth, does he have the right to it, even if it's offered up gladly by the actually intended honoree in deference to Eliezer's long and unjust neglect by the academic establishment? Will his rigid "integrity," the single core attribute that underlies and drives all of his punctilious work, succumb to his very understandable need for recognition and acceptance after having been shut out for so long, and if so, what will the prize really mean or be worth? Does the surprisingly insistent, passive-aggressive Uriel have more of his severe father, whose strictness he's so often painfully bumped up against, in him than he realizes or wants to admit? And, as the extent of the father's dedication to his truth-before-compassion ethos and the son's compassion-is-the-most-important-truth values are thrown into relief and tested to a degree neither of them would have willingly submitted to, we have to wonder, which of them had it right when they were more complacently sure of themselves, anyway? The film very funnily, very engagingly, very intelligently, and finally indelibly plays both of its sides against the middle, offering bounteous evidence in support of either way of looking at matters of principle, as well as the niggling, irreconcilable flaws in each. The way Footnote leaves you hanging in the end is thus not unsatisfying the way it would be at the conclusion of a lesser film that has led us to expect a simplistic, reassuring answer. Instead, it's as much of a bracing thrill as such carefully, symmetrically, yet dynamically honed moral perplexity can be. The way you're left with your mind's juices pumping and flowing by that moment of ultimate (in)decision when the screen cuts to black is physical testimony to the sting in this "light" film's tail, the shock to tenuous certainties about ethics and moral behavior and gray areas that leaves you keyed-up, buzzed, and arguing with yourself, like a guest at or eavesdropper on that stimulating, argumentative Crimes and Misdemeanors family dinner, for a long time after it's over.
I'd venture to guess that the reason Sony Pictures has some of the best-looking Blu-rays around is Sony's early/proprietary relationship to Blu, but whatever the explanation, Footnote's transfer is right up there with the other spectacular-looking titles in Sony's charge (e.g., Incendies, The White Ribbon; even a not-great film like In A Better World at least looks great on a Sony Blu-ray). Presented as it is here, in an AVC-encoded, 1080p-mastered transfer at its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, Footnote's every visual attribute is allowed to shine in just the way it was meant to -- the cool-to-warm (never very warm or hot) temperatures of Yaron Scharf's cinematography, with all the specific color qualities that implies, as well as the particular post-reduction digital-intermediate coloring and other finishing touches that give the film its aptly smooth look, come through with what looks like perfect fidelity to the print. All appropriate celluloid texture remains, and there isn't a trace of any sort of compression artifact flaw or other deficiencies to be seen anywhere; it's a genuinely stellar transfer.Sound:
The film's DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack (in Hebrew with optional English subtitles) is equally top-notch to the visual dimension. All of the sound's layers, from the voice-over narration to the dialogue to the applause in an auditorium to Amit Poznansky's unusually important, supporting-character score is full and rich, sonorous, and enveloping, without a trace, at any point, of distortion or imbalance.Extras:
--"Behind the Scenes of Footnote," a 25-minute featurette in which snatches of the director, actors, and crew at work and being queried by the making-of director have been selected from throughout the shoot and compiled. Like any such supplement worth its salt, it gives us a close-in and privileged look at those mysterious, eternally fascinating, surprisingly nitty-gritty and intense processes that are orchestrated differently by every filmmaker and for every film -- all the preparation and work and anxiety and thought and concentration that finally result in the thing everyone's striving for in the work-intensive hours and days captured here: several hopefully well-realized, well-shot, well-acted minutes of movie.
--"An Evening with Joseph Cedar"> isn't actually that, but rather 10 minutes or so of selected responses from Cedar during a Q&A at the Toronto International Film Festival, in which he fields questions from the audience with a thoroughness and polite but firm honesty (he's not afraid to tell a questioner that their observation is interesting but wrong) that's of a piece with the same not-unkind but relentlessly probing, sharp, questioning sensibility that conceived of and pulled off a film with Footnote's resonances.
--The film's theatrical trailer and an assortment of the same for other fine Sony Pictures Classics offerings. (Seriously, this Indiewood studio has one of the best track records, especially for foreign films: this bunch of previews tempts you with, among others, A Separation and Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress).
A moral parable that carries a deceptively breezy, chuckle-eliciting air, Joseph Cedar's Footnote carries a surprising depth and staying power as its secret cargo. It's part satire, part riddle, and part ethical/philosophical provocation, and it has a powerful undertow of the classically tragic (mutually exclusive, equally understandable motivations in a deadlock that cannot come to any good, no matter the good intentions at play) in its depiction of an Israeli father and son who both exist in the same rarefied world of Talmudic scholarship, which has its hierarchies and competitiveness and opposing values just like any but is additionally burdened with the need to appear well above and beyond all of that at all times. Some basic and timeless questions -- What is the right way to live? What does being a "good person" actually entail? Does integrity mean rigorousness or generosity? -- are raised subtly but very meaningfully by Cedar, without us suspecting the film's philosophical provocation until we're fully invested, lured in by Cedars's ingenious script, his playful and spry structuring and editing, and his wonderful cast, at the head of which we have two great Israeli actors (the well and rightly acclaimed Lior Ashkanazi as the son and the underappreciated and underused Shlomo Bar-Aba) making every scene ruefully funny or wincingly tender (often, exhilaratingly, both at once). It's not too often that a film that feels so light and is replete with real mirth (even encompassing some gags that ease over into slapstick territory) manages to build such a cumulative impact while staying perfectly true to its comedic self and fully in control of its tone throughout, but Footnote is just such a rare picture. In presenting for our amusement and contemplation an unsolvable moral puzzle that will easily cause a thousand impassioned discussions and even a few sleepless nights long after its plentiful laughs have been enjoyed, it can hold its intellectual, thematically profound own against even the most deadly serious of dramas. Highly Recommended.

Radlett father made MBE for services to people with learning disabilities

1:00pm Saturday 21st June 2014
By Charlotte Ikonen
A father from Radlett who set up a charity to help those with learning difficulties said being listed in the Queen's birthday honours list was the "icing on the cake".
Barry Welck co-founded the Langdon Foundation 22 years ago and will be made an MBE for services to education for people with learning disabilities.
Mr Welck said the foundation was created after he failed to find adequate care for his son, who does not have short-term memory.
The 65-year-old said: "I started the work with three other parents because we had a son with mild learning difficulties and could not find good enough care.
"Our goal is to ensure the young people we support have the same opportunities as their peers.
"Any parent who has children with disabilities will know that it is stressful, and we struggled to find care for our son.
"I cannot believe how much the charity has grown, and we never knew how many people would benefit. It is amazing."
More than 100 people now work at the charity, which enables young Jewish adults aged over 16 with mild to moderate learning difficulties to live independent lives.
Langdon hse developed a unique network of supported living accommodation in London and Manchester that allows around 100 residents to live in their own homes with varying levels of support depending on individual needs.
Mr Welbeck, who lives on Newlands Avenue, added: "It is a great honour to be recognised and I am absolutely delighted.
"Over the years the charity has given me so much pleasure. And to receive an award is the icing on the cake."
Mr Welck will receive the honour at Buckingham Palace along with 1,149 people recognised for their outstanding contributions to British life.

Written on: 24/01/2007 by MrDGallagher (1 review written)
Good Points
Restaurants listed by cuisine (you want Italian, they give you Italian. If you demand Indian, the give you Indian).
Taxi contacts never ever fail. I always get a pickup within minutes regardless of where I am.
Texting the number to your mobile is excellent. I always find I have to use the service again, and this saves me a call, as I save the number right away.
They off a 24/7 service. It is easy to get what's required when you're out late.
They have enough information on their system to provide alternatives and choice.
I have had a good experience overall, any time I've ever contacted Yell 118 247.
Bad Points
They sometimes struggle to find specific products or services in some fields and in some areas.
General Comments
I have used 118 24 7 many times now, and I find it very informative indeed. You always find that those who answer the phone are able and willing to help, and there is never any problem with dialect, as you are connected to a UK call centre.
This may increase the cost ever so slightly, but you certainly make up for that with the all round experience on the call. I find that when traveling especially, I can gather local information and get business information very easily. When you are eating out and won't settle for a poor quality meal, then Yell have managed to list all restaurants by cuisine, and I never fail to stumble across high quality, affordable restaurants, regardless of where I end up in the UK.
I always use this number for locating taxi's, and I have now started sourcing business contacts when at work. The Boss doesn't seem to mind the odd directory call when he knows it's for information I require when on the move.
Overall, I would say this is a great product, and if you feel the need to use a directory service, then I'd say make this your choice.
Well done again to Yellow Pages.

Arctic Cosmos: the St Leger winner is the best horse sired by North LightPICTURE: Martin Lynch
North Light transferred to stud in Canada
NORTH Light, sire of this season's St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos, will stand in Canada next season as part of an eight-strong line-up at Frank Stronach's new Ontario-based stallion operation, Adena Springs North.
The son of Danehill, who is the only Epsom Derby winner at stud in North America, has spent the past five seasons at Adena Springs in Kentucky, and covered 50 mares this season at an advertised fee of $10,000.
His move to Canada is likely to be welcomed by local breeders as among his best runners from two crops of racing age is the Woodbine stakes scorer Bodua. He is also the sire of last weekend's Santa Anita Grade 3 winner Go Forth North in addition to Arctic Cosmos.
Joining North Light at the 500-acre farm just north of Toronto is Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup winner Mast Track, a son of Mizzen Mast who will be a new addition to the stallion ranks next year.
Established Adena Springs stallions Giant Gizmo, Milwaukee Brew, Singing Saint, Showing Up and Wilko are also making the move.
