Have you had a chance to check out the new Rebecca Taylor store that opened up at Scottsdale Fashion Square? It's quite fabulous! I had a chat with the designer who shared with me what's in her bag this summer and a few style tips! Enjoy.
Q. What made you want to open a store in Scottsdale?
A. It's a huge market with a lot of fashionable women. We're sold in department stores in the area, but I wanted to give women access to the full collection.
{Rebecca Taylor-Scottsdale Fashion Square}
Q. What do you think of the style out here?
A. I really admire the way Arizona women can put things together. It's hard to keep looks fresh when you're essentially dressing for warm weather year-round, so I'm impressed!
Q. Do you have any tips for surviving triple digits in style without melting?
A. It gets pretty steamy in New York in the summer, so I can relate! A great white tee, easy maxi skirts, and pretty silk tank dresses are good staples for the hot weather. And since you can't layer clothing, invest in great accessories. In the summertime at our office, our girls wear RT silk dresses or skirts and pair them with bright shoes and chunky necklaces; it's an easy, cool way to show individual style.
Q. What is your "go-to" outfit when you need a pick-me-up?
A. I actually am a bit of a tomboy, and am pretty unfussy about my personal style. I'm most comfortable in a great Victorian-esque voile dress in the summertime with cool flat sandals.
Have you had a chance to pop by the new Rebecca Taylor store? What do you think?

I was think about making a website that enables you to go through questions to make your own mod without having to know/do any Java. People could then download their mod and share it. Obviously there wouldn't be advanced things and it would have limited things to do, but should I do it?

Advertisers Fleeing Bill O'Reilly Top 50, In Spite Of Trump Rallying Boys Club Behind FOX Anchor
America's President Donald Trump made it clear to the New York Times Wednesday that he stands with his friend Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, under fire over an expose about previously unknown Fox settlements over sexual harassment and sexual assault claims.
"I think he's a person I know well — he is a good person," said Mr. Trump, who during the interview was surrounded at his desk by a half-dozen of his highest-ranking aides, including the economic adviser Gary Cohn and the chief of staff, Reince Priebus, along with Vice President Mike Pence.
"I think he shouldn't have settled; personally I think he shouldn't have settled," said Mr. Trump. "Because you should have taken it all the way. I don't think Bill did anything wrong."
Erin Gloria Ryan responds gloriously for The Daily Beast: "In a life characterized by ideological, financial, and even marital inconsistency, there's one thing President Donald Trump has remained fairly consistent on: defending men accused of sexual assault or harassment."

In Chicago, Staying After School is Cool
Chicago's first lady, Maggie Daley, created an after school program two decades ago that serves 25,000 kids, enrolling them in programs of art, dance, sports, science and video to keep them out of trouble and learning.
The non-profit program, After School Matters, even gives them training and jobs to teach other kids in the after school programs.

Regulation of NGN: Structural Separation, Access Regulation, or No Regulation at All?
Since the introduction of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) by telecommunication network operators, national regulators have begun to adapt their access regulation regimes to the new technological conditions. The regulatory reactions gravitate towards three distinct regulatory trajectories: unregulated competition, access regulation, and structural separation. We first analyze the extent of market power in access Networks in NGNs from a technological perspective. Second, we use case studies to identify patterns between technological and market conditions and regulators' reactions in selected countries. We find that market power in the access network is likely to prevail. Regulatory reactions differ with the extent of infrastructure competition and the regulators position in the trade-off between promoting investment and protecting competition

The Girl on the Train opens in theatres October 7, 2016.
EMILY BLUNT (Sicario, Edge of Tomorrow) leads the all-star cast of DreamWorks Pictures' The Girl on the Train, from director TATE TAYLOR (The Help, Get on Up) and producer MARC PLATT (Bridge of Spies, Into the Woods). Based on author PAULA HAWKINS' best-selling novel, the thriller that has riveted millions now makes its way to the big screen.
Reeling from a recent divorce and searching to preoccupy her days, Rachel Watson (Blunt) spends her weekday commute to and from Manhattan quietly gazing out the train windows. Every morning and evening, she relives memories from just outside the home she once shared with her now ex-husband Tom (JUSTIN THEROUX of The Leftovers, The Ten), who now lives there with his new wife, Anna (REBECCA FERGUSON of Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation, upcoming The Snowman), and their baby.
To distract herself from a life that's grown so aimless, Rachel develops an obsession with the occupants of another house on the route, 15 Beckett Road—a few doors down from where she used to reside. There, blissfully unaware that a stranger is longingly watching, the seemingly perfect couple Megan (HALEY BENNETT of The Equalizer, The Magnificent Seven) and Scott (LUKE EVANS of Dracula Untold, upcoming Beauty and the Beast) go about the business of suburban life.
For months, in between furtive sips of the liquor that's become a constant companion, Rachel has stolen glimpses of the stunning Megan and handsome Scott as they drink morning coffee by their windows or laugh on their porch at nighttime—and imagined how idyllic their world must be. The seemingly carefree young woman is the portrait of everything that Rachel tried to be during her years with Tom, in a marriage from which she refuses to let go.
One day, on her way into the city, Rachel witnesses something so shocking in Megan and Scott's backyard that it rocks her to the core. Soon after, when Megan goes missing and is feared dead, Rachel tells the police what she believes she has seen. But can Rachel trust what she thinks she witnessed, or is she entangled in the crime itself? When one voyeur crosses the dangerous line between concerned and obsessed, she will either find the real killer…or discover that there is innocent blood on her own hands.
Joining the cast of The Girl on the Train are ALLISON JANNEY (The Help, Spy) as Detective Riley, the investigating officer who suspects Rachel is involved in Megan's disappearance; ÉDGAR RAMÍREZ (Hands of Stone, Zero Dark Thirty) as Dr. Kamal Abdic, the therapist to whom Rachel reaches out for help; LAURA PREPON (Orange Is the New Black, That '70s Show) as Cathy, her weary roommate who has reached a breaking point of her own; and LISA KUDROW (The Comeback, Neighbors) as Martha, an estranged friend of Rachel's who has seen the depths of her secret addiction.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I absolutely adore this art! I love sugar and sweets. The style in which this was done brings me into the world. Somehow, this manages to be cute and a little bit of trippy at the same time. It works!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is probably the best piece of art I've seen in a long time. I love the colors, and the faces. I like the creature you chose and how they are singing and dancing. On the surface it looks happy, but after looking at it a while I have some thoughts. To me it brings up fake happiness among denial/denial bringing up false feelings of happiness. Elation in tragedy.

I know many people never eat beans and if you do it is usually by accident or because your mother forced you. But if you prepare them right you may actually enjoy them.
I saw this recipe on another blog (you know who you are). It looked very yummy so I just had to try it.
Tomato and white bean salad with dill and lemon
Tomato and white bean salad with dill and lemon
2 15-ounce cans white kidney beans, rinsed, drained
2 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes (about 12 ounces) or cherry tomatoes
2/3 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, pressed
Toss all ingredients in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour. Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring salad to room temperature before serving.
I could not find white kidney beans without EDTA so I purchased some organic navy beans. I also just used a few whole tomatoes cut up instead of cherry tomatoes and I added some olives which added a nice bite to the flavours. Oh yes, and no fresh dill so I used dried instead and it still tasted great. Don't have a fresh lemon? just use the stuff in the fridge, no one will know.
Switch it up. Greek Bean Salad. Do you love Greek pasta salad? The bean mix would taste wonderful with the Greek salad dressing I posted below. Instead of pasta just use beans for a healthy high protein side dish. White beans or black beans would work just find, or heck if your feeling creative mix the two!

Too many. There are too many. From the gloriously mundane, like full pantry and freezer and a humming furnace, hot coffee with my sweetheart and the abundance of time we all have together right now. There are the jolly ones, like helpless laughter in the kitchen and music spilling over us. There are the truly unmeasurable ones: their rosy, healthy boy-faces emerging from long nights of sleep, our walls that cradle safely and shelter and peace, the comfort of one another.
May you find many blessings to count this day and the next. Among mine I number you who come here to glimpse what I see and read what I say. Merry Christmas!
Happily joining in with daily prompts

New Concord —- Wendell Wayne Litt, 88, of New Concord, Ohio passed away peacefully on Monday morning, June 9, 2014, at home on this farm. He was born May 30, 1926 in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, the son of William H. and Grace (Myers) Litt.
Wendell was a 1944 graduate of Bellville High School, Bellville, Ohio where his high school vocational agriculture teacher, Dale Friday, inspired him to study agriculture at The Ohio State University, where he received a Bachelor of Science and Masters degree in Agriculture. During his college years he served as the manager of the Camp Ohio State 4-H camp and he served as a "sea-going cowboy†to deliver a boat load of horses and livestock to Poland after WWII. Upon graduation, he taught vocational agriculture at Savannah High School, Savannah, Ohio for one year until he was drafted into the Army to serve in Korea. Then, he began teaching vocational agriculture at New Concord High School (and John Glenn High School) in New Concord. After he left teaching, Wendell worked over 20 years in the OSU Cooperative Extension Service as a 4-H Agent in Muskingum, Tuscarawas and Guernsey counties and he retired as the Agricultural Extension Agent for Guernsey County.
In his retirement, Wendell enjoyed full-time beef cattle and sheep farming, history and grandchildren. He served as the Director of the Pioneer and Historical Society of Muskingum County and was active in the Century Farm program sponsored by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Wendell authored two books: one on the Century Farms of Muskingum County and another on Stories of Veterans from the East Muskingum area.
Wendell was a member of the New Concord United Methodist Church, where he had served as lay leader, MYF counselor and a member of various committees. Some of Wendell's other many activities were as member and Master of the New Concord Grange, member of the New Concord Lions Club, founding member and first president of the National Trails Ruritan Club, president of the New Concord Elementary PTA, member of the New Concord Steam and Gas Club, member of the Parent's Council at Muskingum College, 50-year member of the Masonic Lodge (where he served as Worthy Master) and a member of the Order of Eastern Stars.
Wendell is survived by his wife of almost 59 years, Bernice Joan Finley Litt, whom he married on June 12, 1955; and by his son Gordon (Susan) Litt of Lancaster, Ohio and their children Guy, Wade, Conner and Hallie; and by his daughter, Susan (Ken) Ballantine of Glenford, Ohio and their children, Craig (Debbie), Abigail (Marcus) Pardon, and Hillary. He also is survived by his siblings: Eleanor Burwell of Westerville, Ohio, George (Susie) Litt of Carrolton, Ohio, Leroy Litt of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Ruth Ann (Clarence) Bunnell of Fredericktown, Ohio, in-laws Mildred Litt and Russell Lamb along with many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his son (David Wendell Litt), his brothers (Ralph Litt and Raymond Litt) and his sister (Viola Lamb).
Visitation will be Friday, June 13, from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the Farus Funeral Home, 63 West Main Street, New Concord, with Masonic Services at 5:45 pm at the funeral home. Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday June 14, at the New Concord United Methodist Church, 20 East High Street, New Concord, with Rev. Karen Graham and William Harris officiating. Burial will be in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, New Concord. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: David W. Litt Scholarship Fund, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio; or Genesis Hospice, 713 Forest Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio; or United Methodist Church, New Concord, Ohio.

giddy up
A string of them were aimlessly wandering around the shop, flush-faced and cheery, at odds with the processed ham and gluten free biscuits which are failing to sell but still ordered in. Crowded, that corner of the shop is getting.
The owner was – his words – made up. Generally, he's slow to smile.
"All that booze they buy!" he hissed confidentially, loud enough for all to hear. "Each night! We buy more. You wouldn't believe. Back and forward to the Cash & Carry."
He rolled his eyes and shook his head at the giddy commerce of it all, purse lipped at the repeat runs to the C&C, a case of wine clanking ostentatiously, so removed from the usual mere bottle of scotch rolling around in the boot. The wanton repetition, "They drink on a Tuesday. AND a Wednesday!" (Imagine.)
The thrill of the till clanging shut on twenties. Notes not coins. This is the man who's lived a bit. Driven to Spain with ducks in the back. Not much gets him going.
Every denizen in the geographical fallout of Cheltenham Racecourse is out to fleece the racegoers. Bleak pole dancers trudge up from Bristol to hand out leaflets. School children sell cakes in the name of sponsored do-gooding trips to Peru. One-handed guitarists busk.
My friend has had 10 jolly Irishmen a night staying with them, (bed and breakfast, @ £40 a pop), camp beds lined up while the family squash in one room and count the cash. Skiing's booked for Christmas. Another friend, with a more modest 5 a night, is half-way to Florida on the proceeds. Both are bored with sausages, but it's a price worth paying.
Elsewhere, driveways are dusted off and called car parks, that'll be a fiver, please; limos fill lay-bys; opening hours are rapidly extended; normal old breakfasts at cafes are dubbed Racing Breakfasts and charged double. The police milk the moment by buggering up the traffic at roundabouts. It certainly adds a buzz and, apart from being stranded this side of Cheltenham by dint of the queues, I love it but this year is the first time I have actually been. Yes. Mrs Very Rich had some chums to stay and a spare Members' Ticket was going begging, so what do you do but dust off your frock and toddle along.
It was a glorious day. The air thick with Spring and the promise of warmth. My bag was heavy with spare cardies I didn't end up needing, but would have done if I hadn't brought. Out of towners tottered in in heels beneath spray tanned legs, clad in floaty layers and lace like bizarre lost brides. Sturdy locals stride head to toe in tweed. Top Hats are sold from the makeshift shops at £2,200. You read that right.
The skies meanwhile were alive with the sound of … helicopters. In Gold Cup week, the rich at play are supported in their quest to offload loadsa cash by being ferried about in the air. It's so green you could weep.
Mrs VR's chum Lucy commented on them. Perhaps they were aurally displeasing, perhaps the very rich marvel at the astronomically rich.
I joined in. "What does it cost to land here?" I asked, unwittingly displaying my amateur status, while trying to give the impression that I was thinking of bringing the chopper next year, giving it a run.
Lucy gave me a down-grading glance. "I think the amount they cost to get up in the air slightly outweighs that."
We kicked off with champers and butties at Mrs VR's, ten minutes of living the princess life which I should surely be enjoying daily. I have my own pea and everything. The traffic goddess smiled on us (no policemen around) and we pulled up ten minutes later at a prime parking spot, swooshing past the proles who had to actually, like, walk, and strolled in, our important metal pins affording pleasing status. My handbag was pawed through by the guard, but sadly nothing of interest was found.
Lucy's husband Melkin is a pro and I betted twice on his most fine advice and won twice and felt quite sick with triumph, at a whole, free, £17 ending up in my purse. Melkin bought more champagne and we sipped it in the sun while Lucy bemoaned being a corporate slave and I nodded as if I understood and had another quick sip.
It's always The Atmosphere people mention to offset accusations that you can see it all from the telly, that you don't need to go to such events. As I know from cricket, the telly is great, but the atmosphere is something else. It is so genial, so optimistic, so out of the norm of the day to day. So bloody lovely.
I also sort of got horses. A bit. I loved all the parading, the beautiful silks (my fingers itched to turn them into curtains) and when the winners came in and the crowd cheered and clapped it almost brought a tear to the eye.
"You've started high," Lucy and Melkin said. It had seemed wise to alert them to my racing virginity. Treat me gently. "Great weather, great results, great races."
I wouldn't have it any other way, I thought.
And another excitement to hang onto. E was updating the one day scores, and texted in that England, somehow, had beaten the West Indies, just as Junior romped in netting me another tenner.
"Oh, Mummy, you smell of champagne," F12 said gathering me in a big hug from tiny arms when I got in.
"Yes," I said, we've hardly drunk all year, "I'm afraid I have had some. It was lovely."
"Good," he said, "It's about time you shrugged off the male oppressors in this family."
"Indeed," I said.
I told E, the chief male oppressor, glum on the sofa doing some work on his laptop. While I gallivanted, he'd had to leave work early in order to pick up the children. He'd got stuck in race traffic, so he snorted.
I put my pea back in the freezer.

Oh brilliant! I'm extremely envious. I used to love to go to Cheltenham races and not just the Gold Cup meeting but the others too. We used to go there for our Pony Club camp. Even the hairiest little pony knows a racecourse when it sees it, but we were banned from the hallowed turf itself.

Such a great description of a day at the races. We've been to a few but usually just in the Grandstand. Fantastic for people-watching, especially the tango women.
I remember going to a local charity ball held at our local sports centre, when one couple decided to arrive on the sports field by helicopter (crass or what!) Everyone was most amused but as it descended the dust covered all the guests having cocktails outside. The couple were sent to Coventry for the rest of the night and looked very embarrassed.

Milla you capture it all so perfectly,it reminded me of Jilly Cooper, I did enjoy that, but the best bit had to be the hug from the tiny arms when you got in...ahh. Glad you had a good time.

thank you all.
Mags, being so not a horse person I hadn't factored that side in, but I HAD noticed that the horses did seem to preen and prance so I hope they enjoy it (when not being shot of course)
Tattie, something's gone seriously wrong, hasn't it? We was robbed.
PM, enough already, guess who's having the more glamorous time now?
Trish, great story. Knew there was a reason why I left the chopper at home.
Frances, a mere year of schmoozing should do it! Good old Mrs Rich and chums.
Expat, no more with the eye, that weeping, pustulent sore is quite putting me off my tea.
Posie, yes, sigh, tiny arms. Strong arms mind, nearly broke my ribs just now. Back to reality.

Hi nice to meet you. Jody here living in Ca (used to live in London)Love your blog and this post and look forward to reading more about your champers drinking... Reminds me when I lived in Cheltenham for a year, worked for the local newspaper and somehow must have covered the races but who knows what I wrote up. I just remember being bumped a lot by the hats and noone wanting to talk to scungy kiwi reporter Ah well!

Great post Milla honey, well done on the winnings. I see our namesake the Royal was unable to be at races due to virus, wonder if she put a bet on..... my HL cousin lives in Glos, think he usually attends the races, couldn't go due to fracturing his vertebrae in skiing accident in Austria.
Ah, bless, your son hugging Ma, sounds as if you had a fun day at Cheltenham Milla.

Another great post! So great indeed that when I saw the little picture called 'Beg' and the NOMINATE ME FOR THE COSMO BLOG AWARDS icon, I clicked on it straight away - only to be told that the page no longer existed and when I came back here I saw the icon no longer existed either; so maybe I was dreaming. Unlike my sister who can tell you every winner of the Derby since its inception and who once owned a total failure of a racehorse called Balquidder (in only one of its six races did it fail to come last!) I have never quite seen the point of horse racing, but no doubt it does have its finer points. Perfectly sane people otherwise are aficionados. Champagne can be enjoyed very much better if you are not fretting about the twenty pounds that you are about to lose because your horse has been electrocuted. Indeed, it would save everyone a great deal of time and trouble if they were to get out of bed on race days, shove fifty quid down the loo and pull the chain. The amount then saved would keep you supplied with champagne for weeks. Atmosphere, it seems, doesn't half come expensive. I should quit now that you're ahead.
Pea and £17 is definitely more enticing than just pea (frozen).

Unanswered: SQL5001N "USER" does not have dbm cfg update permission
Hi ,
I am new to this forum and new to DB2 also. I am running DB2 version V8.1 on windows NT.
I catalog the windows NT node on to a AIX box running v8.1 with authentication client and after reset the database manager configuration. After i reset the dbm cfg i get SQL5001N " User" does not have the authority to change the database manager configuration file. Dropping and recreating the instance also did not help.
I checked the dbm config after resetting it and the authentication is set back to SERVER.

This invention relates to an apparatus for applying thin layers of coating onto a lens, typically an ophthalmic multifocal lens of the type made of plastic or resin. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for spin coating multifocal lenses of the type having ledge lines defining the boundary between two focal regions of the lens, while maintaining the optical and cosmetic qualities of the lens at the ledge line, after having applied the coating to the lens.
Present day technology requires that lenses be coated, for example, with an abrasion resistant hard coating, and optionally with coatings having anti-reflective properties. Multilayer coatings are often applied to achieve one or both of the noted features, as well as numerous other characteristics which can be imparted to a lens by virtue of the coatings.
In the case of multifocal lenses, i.e., lenses having separate regions with differing focal characteristics such as what are conventionally known as "bifocal or multifocal, or straight-top or flat-top lenses," the lines defining the boundary between different focal regions of the lens, generally known as a ledge or vision-transition line, must be sharp and clear, and free of defects. Present technology employing molds for casting high-quality, multifocal lenses typically produce lenses of high quality with all of the noted properties. Thus, when coating such a lens, it is necessary to maintain the features achieved with the original lens manufacture after having coated the lens.
In the prior art, technology such as dip coating, spray coating, flow coating, and even spin coating has been employed to coat such lenses. All of the noted methods and apparatus produced a number of coating defects. In particular, most present-day coating methods and apparatus utilize coating solutions having a high percentage of solids. Such coatings are desirable to result in an improved coating having high abrasion resistant properties. Often such coating solutions result in thin coating layers of 2 microns to relatively thick coating layers of 8 microns in thickness.
While desirable for mono-focal and "no-line" progressive lenses having no ledge lines, such thick solutions create problems when employed on multifocal lenses having ledge lines because they fill in the ledge lines and damage and/or distort the precision of vision normally achieved with multifocal lenses. More particularly, a patient wearing such glasses with conventionally applied coatings may see a fuzzy line, interfering with clear vision. Generally such filling in of the ledge lines is known as a "line build-up," often resulting in the thus coated lens being discarded as being defective immediately after manufacture. In some extreme cases, the build-up is such that a drip is formed at one end of the ledge line, resulting in even greater defects.
As is well known, ophthalmic lens coatings are clear, just like the lens material upon which they are applied. Clear coating defects are easily detectable and harmful if the refractive index of the lens and the coating material are not of the same value. If a dark tint is also applied to the lens, which is a common practice for prescription sun glasses, any differences in coating thickness and excess coating build-up are further accentuated. Specifically, dyes used in the tinting process will penetrate a coating layer of different thicknesses at different rates, and will tint the substrate and/or the coating layer unevenly. This is especially noticeable at the ledge lines. Thus, not only are the resultant lenses rejected for optical defects such as providing a fuzzy or blurred vision at the ledge line, but tint defects as described above also contribute, to a significant degree, to the rejection of lenses as being defective.
A further problem with prior art dip-coating techniques is that dip coating is a relatively slow process requiring long draining cycles to remove the carrier solvent, and to dry and solidify the coating layer. As a result of the long times required, the semi-liquid coating can, as opposed to building up on the ledge lines, also pull away from the sharp edge of a ledge line. In such a case, the ledge line will not have been coated, and when tinted, will appear as a narrow, dark line.
Attempts to correct for the noted coating defects include the use of leveling agents, and maintaining of very tight process control parameters. Notwithstanding such attempts to control the prior art processes, since the largest force affecting such process defects is the force of gravity, which cannot be controlled, attempts to control the prior art processes often result in unsatisfactorily coated lenses. Also, there are a number of other causes of process defects which can only be moderately controlled, such as the surface energy of the substrate, the surface tension effects of the coating liquid, the coating chemistry, edge effects and capillary action type forces. It would therefore be desirable to provide a method which would help to control the application of coating liquid to a multifocal lens when one or more of these adverse influences are present.
In accordance with the invention the problems with the prior art coating techniques are eliminated in part by providing a spin-coating apparatus for applying coating to ophthalmic lenses, particularly, multifocal lenses with straight ledge lines. More specifically, the use of gravity in conventional dip coating is replaced by the use of centrifugal force in a specific application for manufacturing ophthalmic lenses.
In one aspect the invention is directed to an apparatus for coating a multifocal lens element, such as a lens, lens blank, or lens mold. The apparatus includes structure for spinning a lens element having a multifocal ledge line defining a boundary between at least two focal regions. The spinning is conducted about an axis substantially coincident with and substantially perpendicular to one of the ledge line and an imaginary line defining an extension of the ledge line. Further, the center of spin is at a location offset from the geometric center of the lens element. Thus, as the coating is flowed while the lens element is spun, this causes the coating to be distributed throughout the surface as a result of the spinning. The coating is applied to a surface of the lens element to be used as the outer surface of a finished multifocal lens to be formed therefrom.
In a more specific aspect, the coating is dispensed as a smooth, solid stream of liquid onto the lens element in a manner to impinge substantially over the entire surface of the lens element being coated. Further, the axis of spinning is selected to result in an eccentric movement of the lens element when spinning. The rate of spinning and coating are preferably selected to minimize differences in the thickness of the coating across the surface of the lens element.
In a yet more specific aspect, the surface of the lens element to be coated can face downward, although other orientations are possible, and the coating is dried while the lens element is spinning for an amount of time sufficient to have the coating physically attached to the lens element before terminating the spinning.
In another aspect of the invention, apparatus according to the invention is used to apply a coating to a multifocal lens mold surface. Lens forming materials are then placed into the mold to form the lens. The coating adheres more strongly to the lens materials than to the mold surface, such that a coated lens can be removed from the mold.
Having thus briefly described the invention, the same will become better understood from the following detailed discussion thereof, taken in conjunction with the attached drawings, wherein:

In FIG. 1 there is illustrated a lens-blank holder 10 used in the apparatus of the invention. The lens-blank holder 10 is made up of a chuck 12 shaped to have a vacuum region 26 in which a vacuum can be generated for holding a multifocal lens blank 14 of a type having two focal regions. A first focal region 16 and a second focal region 18 which are defined relative to each other by what is known conventionally as a ledge line 20. It is noted that for purposes of this disclosure the term "lens blank" is intended to mean the original unit from which a lens is made. The lens blank can have the lens cut from it, or it can be the same as the lens only requiring final processing such as coating for use as a lens. The term "lens element" will refer to both a lens blank and a lens mold, all of which can be coated using the apparatus of the invention to produce a finished, coated multifocal lens. The invention will be primarily described with reference to the coating of a lens blank, although the coating of a lens mold will also be described.
Lens-blank locators 22 serve to relatively position the lens blank 14 with respect to the lens blank holder 10 and vacuum region 26, with seal 24, of conventional construction, serving to seal the surface of the lens blank 14 situated on the side of the vacuum region 26. This permits a vacuum to be drawn so that the lens blank 14 is held against the lens blank holder 10 through the vacuum drawn in a conventional manner through vacuum region 26. An adaptor 28 is employed with the chuck 12 to accommodate for different size lens blanks 14, and is held secured in sealed engagement against the chuck 12 by means of seal 30. A spindle 32 passes through a spindle bearing 34 and has its center aligned with the spin center of rotation 38 of the lens blank 14, with arrows 36 indicating that rotation can be clockwise or counter clockwise, or both, on a intermittent basis, as determined by the type of lens and the coating material to be employed to coat the lens blank.
A typical lens blank 14 on which the invention is practiced is illustrated in FIG. 2. As can be seen, the lens blank 14 includes a geometric center 40 and separately spaced different focal regions having a boundary between each other defined by a straight and a semi-circular ledge line. The geometric center of the lens is considered to be the center of the two-dimensional projection of the front or rear surface of the lens. The geometric center of a lens blank having a circular perimeter would be the center of the circle. A spin center 38 is located at the ledge line 20, i.e., the straight one closest to the center of the lens, but is offset from the geometric center 40 of the lens blank. Thus, as further illustrated in FIG. 3, if the lens is spun while a coating is being applied thereto, for example, in a solid stream form, as the lens blank is spun about spin center 38, the coating moves radially outward along radial spin-off lines 44, and including radial drain line 42, along the ledge line to substantially uniformly coat the lens blank 14. By the term "solid stream" is meant a stream of about 1 to about 5 millimeters in diameter, or alternatively, up to about 20 mm2 in cross-section at any location thereof. The stream is substantially free of air bubbles or like inclusions, and can be produced by any nozzle configuration to result in a smooth flow of coating liquid. The coating should be applied at least partially at the point of rotation to insure that this area is covered, since flow of the coating will be away from the point of rotation because of the action of the centrifugal force.
As compared to the prior art dip-coating techniques shown in FIG. 4, the spin technique in accordance with the apparatus of invention results in a more uniform coating. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the prior art dip-coating technique in which gravity works downwardly results in build-up 50 of coating along the semi-circular ledge line of second focal region 18. A double line or build-up of coating 46 builds up along the straight ledge line 20 and 42 as well as a drop 48 which moves downwardly from the straight ledge line constituting a drain line 42. In addition, waves or sag lines 52 also result in additional defects from the prior art dip coating.
As can be further appreciated from the prior art dip coating illustration of FIG. 5, which is consistent with FIG. 4, the defects are primarily caused by the force of gravity as more generally illustrated by arrows 54 showing a downward force of gravity on the coating to be equal to approximately one gravity force, and at the drip-line region as illustrated by line 56, about equal to or less than the force of gravity. This is contrasted with FIG. 6 which shows the spin-coating process in accordance with the invention and the resultant forces acting on the coating at different locations as illustrated by lines 54 radiating from the center of spin 38. The forces acting upon the coating are more easily understood by the lines 58 of isometric gravity (G) force superimposed on the lens blank 14 which illustrate in greater detail the eccentric motion thereof and how centrifugal force on the coating will vary by location. In the case of the drip line off the straight ledge line, the force acting thereon is illustrated by arrow 56 which shows the force as being greater than about 1 gravity force, depending upon its relative position as the lens is spun around spin center 38.
FIG. 7 illustrates a typical lens blank 14 for a right eye in accordance with the invention in which a lens to be cut therefrom is illustrated by dashed line 60. The dashed-line portion 62 illustrates the nasal side of the lens and the dashed line 64 illustrates the side opposite the nasal side, i.e., the temple side. As shown therein, the first focal region 16 is defined separate from the second focal region 18 by bifocal straight top ledge line 20 and its semi-circular counterpart bounding the bottom of the bifocal region.
As further shown in FIGS. 8a-8e, the forces acting upon the coating as illustrated by arrows 54, can be effected and varied in a manner apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by simply varying the center of spin 38. For example, FIG. 8a places the center of spin 38 as being the same as the lens center 40. In FIGS. 8b-8e, the center of spin 38 is offset from the center 40 of the lens blank, resulting in different magnitude force lines 54, depending upon the location of the rotational center of the lens blank on which the coating is applied.
As may be appreciated, in using the apparatus of the invention, all lenses or lens blanks may be identified by conventional bar code techniques. The spin-coat process is controlled precisely, with spin direction, rotational speed (stepless motor operation), time cycles and any other process parameters programmed in a conventional manner into the spin-coat machine described hereafter with reference to FIG. 9.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram which illustrates the apparatus of the invention. A lens blank holder 10 is within a coating chamber 12, shown in phantom to indicate that the apparatus of the invention can be utilized with many spin coating device constuctions. The chemistry of the coating, the surface energy and configuration of the lens, and other parameters that are particular to the lens and coating could require adjustments or modifications to the spin coating device. An enclosure should be provided that will protect the lens as it is being coated from dust and other contaminants, and can otherwise be used to control the atmosphere surrounding the lens. The lens blank holder 10 can use any suitable means for retaining the lens, including vacuum, mechanical, adhesive, and the like. The lens blank holder 10 can be movable to a nonoperative upper position (not shown) wherein a lens blank 14 can be attached and/or removed. The lens blank holder 10 has attached thereto at the spindle, a spindle drive 13 to cause rotation of the lens blank about an axis of spin 15. Thus, when in an operative position, lens blank holder 10 is lowered and the lens blank 14 is introduced into the coating chamber 12. It is desirable that the coating chamber 12 seal tightly to prevent the escape of volatile portions of the coating solution, and also to prevent the introduction of contaminants into the coating as it is applied. Coating solution is injected into the chamber 12 through a coating solution inlet 17 to be applied uniformly throughout the surface of the lens blank 14 as illustrated by arrows 11. As the coating solution is applied, the lens blank 14 is rotated by means of spindle drive 13, and either simultaneous with the application of the coating solution, or shortly after commencement of introduction of the coating solution, temperature controlled drying air can be introduced through ventilation inflows and follows the path illustrated by the arrows 28 to dry the coating solution. Control of the drying air flow can be performed by inlet valves 35 and exit valves 37. The air can be continuously flowed even after coating solution is no longer being introduced, until such time as the coating solution is sufficiently dry so that it has adhered sufficiently to the surface of the lens blank 14 that it does not deform on the lens blank 14. The gas introduced through inlet valves 35 can be air or any other clean and dry gas processed sufficiently to not impinge contaminates on the surface of the coating.
The valves 35, 37 can be used to regulate the flow of temperature and humidity controlled drying gas, such as air or nitrogen. The valves can also be used to close and seal the coating chamber 12. The coating chamber can be filled with solvent vapor saturated gas and sealed off. This enriched, moist atmosphere inside the coating chamber controls premature drying of the coating film, and helps to avoid scaling, streaking, and unwanted build-up of the coating.
The coating solution inlet 17 and solution dispensing nozzle preferably point upward, or upward in a tilted configuration. The dispensing nozzle thereby will not drip during a period of inactivity of the inlet 17. Such drips can flaw a lens which has just been coated. Also, care should be taken to avoid bubbles and foam in the coating solution. Pumps must not cavitate, and filters and piping must be self purging. A reservoir to de-gas the coating solution, and upwardly oriented piping toward the dispensing point help to avoid bubbles and foam in the coating solution.
The coating liquid can be applied by structure other than a nozzle. Dipping, spraying and other structure for applying coatings can be utilized. The apparatus of the invention will distribute the coating liquid across the surface of the lens. Excess coating liquid will be thrown off from the ledge line by the rotation of the lens.
The spin direction, rotational speed (stepless motor operation) and application rate, time cycles and any other process parameters are varied for the particular coating composition that is to be applied and the particular surface/lens geometries. The temperature, velocity and volume of air is a significant factor in the resulting coating. The process parameters for a lower viscosity coating, such as an anti-reflective (AR) coating layer, are very different from the parameters that are necessary to apply a higher viscosity coating, such as an abrasion resistant hard-coat. These parameters are determined by experimental process design and then controlled by electronic programming. The coating process begins at the start of the spin cycle, or slightly before. It is possible to inject the vapor of a solvent for the coating into the coating chamber, or to utilize residual solvent vapor from a previous cycle, in the coating chamber prior to the introduction of the coating to facilitate the flow of coating onto the lens and to prevent premature drying. The spin rate is at least partially determined by the coating that is to be applied. Generally, faster speeds are necessary for more viscous coatings. A speed that is too fast will throw the coating off the lens blank surface without distributing the coating properly. A speed that is too slow will not generate enough force to cause the coating to flow properly. Coating spin speeds of between about 400-600 rpm are currently preferred. The coating time will also vary depending upon the coating that is used and the process characteristics, but generally will be between about 2-4 seconds. The flow of coating solution is then cut-off. The spin speed of the lens can also be increased, to between about 800-1200 rpm, to assist in drying the lens coating. Drying gas such as air or nitrogen is then preferably applied.
The drying air and spinning continues until the coating is in a semi-solid state and does not deform on removal of the lens blank from the spin process, which usually requires between about 4-13 seconds. The entire process, including coating and drying, preferably requires between about 8-15 seconds. Automated machinery can assist loading and unloading of each lens such that the entire cycle time for coating a lens, including loading and unloading, requires less than about 22 seconds.
Drying gas flowing in and out of the coating chamber can carry dust or droplets of coating liquid onto the tacky/fresh coated lens surface. This is undesirable, and a control of the gas sufficient to avoid this effect is desirable. The reversal of this flow can have major process impacts. A reversed flow from that shown, from the outside over the moist lens surface and through the chamber, on the other hand, can dry up the coating liquid prematurely, thus causing severe coating defects. Thus, it is important to properly control and direct the flows to avoid the noted problems while maintaining high process yields.
Preferably, the lens blank 14 is continuously spun until the coating film is dry, i.e., the solvent base of the applied coating solution is flashed off, so that the coating is in a semi-solid state and does not deform on removal from the influence of the centrifugal force. Coating chamber ventilation air aids in this drying process.
With respect to the location of the spin axis, it is noted that the preferred position of the spin center 38 is on or near or close to, i.e., within about �7 millimeters, of a bifocal ledge line 20, or any extension of that ledge line, for example, as an imaginary line. Ideally the spin center 38 is aligned with the end of the ledge line which is positioned closest to the geometric center of the lens. This location for the spin center 38 is preferable whether the ledge line is straight or slightly curved, as in the "curved top" multifocal lenses known in the art. The invention will have utility where the ledge line is curved except where the curve is radical, such as in round or half-round multifocals. The orientation of the spin axis can be any with respect to the direction of gravity, including the orientation in which the convex surface of the lens is facing upward. Horizontal or other orientations of the spin axis between the horizontal and the vertical are also possible.
Although FIGS. 8a-8e have illustrated a number of different locations for a spin center, it is noted that it is preferred that the spin center, as noted previously, is near the multifocal ledge line closest to the geometric center of the lens. Thus, for example, the spin center of FIG. 8a should only be employed when an "ultra thin" coating layer is to be applied, i.e., less than 0.5 micron. As will be appreciated, the system of the invention is particularly useful when thick coating layers, i.e., greater than about 0.5 micron, are to be applied and provides improved results.
FIG. 10 illustrates the relationship between the rotating lens blank and coating when an air flow is impinged upon it. In FIG. 10 the air flow is directed counter clockwise, as shown by arrows 66, when the blank rotation is clockwise 62. Thus the sloping, semicircular ledge line 64 serves as a leading edge and the straight ledge line 20 is the trailing edge. This results, as shown in FIG. 11, in a small meniscus coating 68 of material as a result of eddy currents 70 which is of an acceptable quality as it protects the top most edge of the ledge line 20. In contrast, when rotation of the lens blank is reversed, as shown in FIG. 12, there results a light build up of coating 74 at the straight ledge line 20, with too thin a coating a the outer most edge 76 of the straight ledge line as compared to a normal coating thickness 72.
It has been found that the angle between the spin axis and the stream of coating liquid and the direction of the stream of coating liquid relative to the direction of spin of the lens blank can make a significant difference in the flow of liquid over the surface and in minimizing splatter and air enclosures. An angle of the nozzle 17, and thus the coating liquid stream, relative to the spin axis 15 (FIG. 9), is preferably up to about 45� away from the spin axis 15. The angle is observed to assist the flow of coating liquid over the surface of the lens.
The direction of the stream of coating liquid should be the same as the direction of air flow shown in FIG. 10, that is, substantially opposite to the direction of rotation of the lens blank. The lens blank should be rotated in the direction such that the sloped, semicircular ledge line 64 of the lens blank is the leading edge and the staight ledge line 20 is the trailing edge. The coating liquid, when applied in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the lens and with the sloped, semicircular ledge line 64 as the leading edge, will flow smoothly over the second focal region 18. The coating liquid will tend to splatter and not flow evenly over the second focal region 18 if the straight ledge line 20 is the leading edge, since the abrupt vertical wall of this ledge line will strike the coating liquid and cause irregular flow patterns similarly to the depiction for air flow shown in FIG. 12. The second focal region 18 on a right eye lens (FIG. 10) is located on an opposite side of the geometric center of the lens from that of a left eye lens (FIG. 2). Proper rotation of the lens to make the semicicular ledge line 64 the leading edge will require reversing the direction of rotation of the lens blank holder when changing from coating the right eye lens shown in FIG. 10 to the left eye lens shown in FIG. 2.
The invention is also suitable for use with in-mold-coating processes. Such processes, as is known in the art, apply a lens coating, such as an abrasion resistant coating, first to the surface of the mold which will form the lens. The mold can be made of any suitable mold material, including metal, plastic or glass. The lens forming materials are then placed in the mold, and polymerization and solidification is initiated. The coating and the lens material bond or cross-link as polymerization advances. The coating is thereby transferred from the mold to the lens. The invention can be utilized to perform such processes by spinning the mold, rather than the lens blank, about a point that is determined from the mold surface which will form the ledge line, instead of the ledge line of the lens blank. All else would be performed substantially the same as when coating a lens. As with a lens, it will also be preferable to spin the mold in different directions depending on the contour of the mold. Almost any orientation of the mold surface with respect to the `down` direction of gravity can be used, including horizontal, vertical, or any angular configuration in between. It was determined, however, that especially good results were obtained when the mold surface that was to be coated was facing down, and the coating was sprayed upward. The coating of a mold 44 is shown in FIG. 13. The apparatus is otherwise substantially the same as that described for FIG. 9, and like elements are therefore designated with like numerals. It may be necessary to adjust process parameters for the mold, however, since the mold presents only the reverse image of the lens and the surface to be treated will be different.
Having thus described the invention, the same will become better understood from the appended claims which are intended to define the invention in a non-limiting manner.

Wanted to install Google apps (especially missing Andriod marketplace, the latest Google maps and maybe voice commands). Tried flashing gapps-mdpi-20100930-signed.zip but keep getting force close on Gmail with that installed (even after clearing data and cache) till I got rid of it of that and went back to plain FRF91. Any ideas where to get a set of Google Apps compatible with FRF91? Also I thought of moving from 2.2 to 2.2.1 by flashing signed-passion-FRG83-from-FRF9.zip but it failed to install. What is the most up-to-date stable Android I can install over my rooted N1? Thanks so much! Zvi

A sudden urge of seascape brought me to Puting Buhangin. Favorite destination in Quezon Province for people who wishes to avoid crowded beaches.
First, take another jeep ride heading to Bgry . Polo then hire tricycle all the way to Capascapas where your boat ride awaits. Second, hire a tricycle that will take you all the way up to Capascapas. Hassle free option however an expensive one. They will charge you 300.00 for the entire 1 hour ride.
At Capascapas, you'll need to cross a lake via "bangka" , just ask the locals for the ride. After 10 min crossing, you'll then have two options: hike or boat. The hike will only eat 10-15mins of your time while boat will eat 250.00 from your wallet, I chose the first option.

The place is not well-developed in terms of amenities, though open cottages are available but for people who wants to spend overnight, just bring your own tent.
Restrooms were installed for your basic need, do not expect a well maintained one. A store with mineral water sold however expect a stiff price. The shoreline is not that wide though, just enough for strolling if you want to reach both rock formations on both ends.
During high tide, water come rushing inside Kwebang Lampas, located at the right end by the way, good spot to take some dip.

True to its name, Puting Buhangin beach indeed has white sand on its shoreline, a mixture of powdered white sand and bits of bits corals.
My overall stay on this place was indeed perfect..... perfect that I had spent quite time for myself. Though I haven't been to several beaches I think Puting Buhangin would be my second pick next to Silanguin Cove as my hiding place.

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors'
8 Sentence Sunday Blog Hop
Here's something a little different for my last post until October, (read why below). This is a story I wrote for a #55Fiction challenge, (only 55 words allowed) and just by coincidence, it happens to be 8 sentences long.
She slammed the door in his face. How dare he? Sarah was livid! Jake had walked out months before to be with someone else and now he wanted to come back. What did he take her for? A doormat? She looked through the peephole and saw him standing there. He was crying and she melted.
"Often called "micro" or "nano" fiction 55 fiction is the art of creating a complete short story in exactly 55 words, no more, no less. Not an essay, not a poem, not a bunch of random thoughts, no musings. Just a potent piece of pure fiction that you've dexterously composed in 55 words."
